Let the yoga begin!

The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind & the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.
~ B.K.S. Iyengar ~

Can you guess what we were doing in the gym? 
Look for the clues

Youthful

 
Ohm
Gentle
 
Aware
 
Flexibility

Following instructions
 
Coordination
Exercising
Focusing
Relaxing
Strengthening
Breathing
 
 In tune and unplugged
 
Gratitude
Experiencing the opportunity to be in tune with their bodies, thoughts and calmness was a welcome activity for the children. Mrs. Johnstone, Megan's mom, once again shared her YOGA talent with the kindergarten friends.
Thank you!

Dancing In The Wind

Who Has Seen The Wind?
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)
 
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you.
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
 
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I.
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.   
 
Streamers samba. 
Colours conga.
 
Scarves swirl while clouds cavort.

Friends frolic.
High and low,

A windy disco!
A windy waltz.
Twirling, trailing.
Trip the wind fantastic.
