National Yoga Recess Day

Students at JFK participated in National Yoga Recess Day today!!! Teachers and students had so much fun and   I was amazed at how many of our students knew some yoga.  Here are some quotes from students:

"Yoga at recess, AWESOME!! Can we do it the whole recess!"-2nd grader

"We've got a whole bunch of people to do Warrior 1, from all of the classes!" -5th grader

"I don't mind giving up my recess to do yoga, I'd do it anytime!"- 4th grader

"This is so much fun!"-1st grader

"When can we do yoga again?"-Kindergarten student.

Rise and Shine Yoga

We have been very busy the last few weeks with more partner yoga, the ABC's of Yoga and our first kriya. We have been working on different meditations and strategies for handling the daily challenges of school.  We began sitali breathing, breath of fire and learned how to do the ego eradicator. Next week will be our last week together until the spring.  Enjoy the pictures!
