Yoga

This morning we had a calming yoga, and easy positions that suits everyone in the group. We started to stretch our bodies and some breathing exercises that led to bending our heads down to our knees and lying on our backs and lifting our legs up in the sky. The children thought it was fun having an activity that the whole group can participate in. In the end we were sitting in a circle and put our hands together and said “Namaste” out loud.
