Make ‘Breathe. Stretch. Play.’ a part of every day!

Global Giving Day 2017

Hello, Super Stretch Super Stars!

Was it hard to go back to school after the long holiday weekend? I bet it was. Well, we have for you three fun playful movement practices that you can do to continue the Thanksgiving spirit. enJOY practicing yoga on Global Giving Day!

 

Let’s Make A Turkey Pose:

If you could make a Turkey yoga pose for Thanksgiving what would it look like? Create a pose. Draw it or do it. Then have everyone else try!

 

Gratitude Ball (like Silent Ball):

Play silent catch with your kiddos. When the kids catch the ball they can either take a deep breath or say something that they are grateful for and then pass it on.

“I’m grateful for…”

“I’m thankful for…”
