What's included
Class Experience
Come and explore a magical forest with trees, flowers, animals, and fairies in weeks one and two of this FLEX class! In weeks three and four, we will explore the beautiful ocean as a mermaid with ocean friends along with yoga poses, breath, and drawing. We will practice fun and gentle yoga poses while using our breath and imaginations for a beautiful and relaxing class together! Anything that can help children to relax is positive! Yoga and mindfulness are proven ways to help children to connect to their bodies, reduce anxiety, become more present and peaceful in the moment, and increase focus and attention span. This FLEX class will have a fun instructional video posted each week to the classroom for students to follow and participate with. Students may respond by posting their artwork to the classroom to share with Ms. Jodi and other students. Ms. Jodi will comment on each submission. We will also have a time for processing our movement artistically by drawing a magical fairy and mermaid at the end of class. Drawing is student-led based on their imaginations from our movement time. Ms. Jodi will show a picture to draw from.
