Yoga for FLEXIBILITY

There are 3 main areas of fitness that we focus on in order to keep our WHOLE body healthy and well: Cardio-Respiratory Endurance is practiced through running, skipping, jumping jacks, dance, jump-rope, bike riding, etc. Muscular Strength & Endurance is increased through push-ups, curl-ups, squats, wall-sits, bicep curls, plank, etc. Flexibility is increased through stretching exercises and a great way to work on our flexibility is YOGA! I like to incorporate yoga into the classroom SOLELY for stretching and flexibility. There are many types of yoga out there - what we do in the classroom together is simple breathing techniques to calm the mind and stretching exercises to strengthen and lengthen our muscles. Here are some fun pix of the kids working on their FLEXIBILITY!
