Yoga with the Sagol class!

Imagine beginning your day with a quiet moment to gather your thoughts.  The Sagol class loves to start the day this way with Yoga!!!! Yoga with young children looks quite different than with adults. We transform ourselves into animals, trees, other elements in nature!!!!.For example, the Sunrise/Sunset pose is a good all-over warm-up for any activity. 1. Stand up tall. Take three to five deep breaths. 2. On the next inhale, lift your arms above your head. Press your legs and feet down toward the ground and stretch your spine and waist toward the sky.3. As you exhale, bend the upper half of your body at your waist down toward your legs, as if you were diving into a pool. When presented in a child's language, yoga can help counter the stress experienced by young people living in a hurry-up world.
