Let's stretch like a jungle cat - MEOW, it might be a little tricky at first...
This pose teaches us about our opposites, strengthening the part of our brain known as the Corpus Callosum which helps with reading and language skills. It also builds stabilizing core strength. What kind of jungle cat are you?
In our original song, I Am Strong, children practice mindfully standing still and tall in Mountain Pose. Mountain Pose is very grounding and promotes focus as well as a long spine and released neck.
Affirmations create mindfulness and help us practice well-being. Say an affirmation that connects with each color of the rainbow. Celebrate the wide range of feelings we all have every day!
Practice breath regulation and gentle twists while taking an imaginary hot air balloon ride! Touching in with breath when big emotions take hold is a great way to teach children to regulate their emotions. Twisting is also relaxing and grounding, promoting digestion and easing tummy troubles.
