Field Day was canceled!!!

The grass was wet and the clouds filled the sky.

Students came to school dressed to go outside.

The teacher did not plan to be inside today.

So, the teacher decided it is yoga day.

The students were stressed and need to rest.

Everyone took of their socks and shoes.

On the floor they went.

Everyone stretched and learned how to bend.

Look at the pictures to see how the day went.

Note:  I will post the rest of the pictures over the weekend of the students practicing yoga in the classroom.  Next, I will include pictures of the poses for instruction on practicing yoga.  If what your trying hurts or feels extremely uncomfortable then you need to modify the pose.  Safety always comes first so let your body tell you if it can handle what you are practicing.  If you continue to practice yoga then you will be able to do poses that are advance or challenging.  If you would like to research yoga poses go to www.yogajournal.com/ ; however, yoga is a practice and not a performance. Finally, always consult your physician before taking on an exercise program.
