Have you given yoga a try yet? Maybe you joined us last week...What do you think? Maybe you are wondering, what is yoga anyway?

Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India. The practice we do here in the U.S. is a modified version which primarily focuses on the physical aspects of this ancient practice through yoga ‘poses’ and breathing techniques. Yoga has been shown to help manage stress,
promote relaxation and all sorts of positive health benefits such as; feeling less anxious, improving coordination, strength, flexibility and balance, improving self-awareness, improving focus and concentration and feeling more/ less energized.

Before we get started on today's activity, let's warm up with the 4-H Pledge, Yoga Style!

Now That You're Warmed Up, Let's Get Started!

First, print these pages, or pull them up on your computer so you can see them.  

If you printed them, cut out the cards and arrange in a stack so you can pick a pose randomly, or arrange them all face up so you can create a sequence of poses that flow together.

Move through each pose at your own pace!  While in the pose, call out the affirmation written on the card.

Throughout the practice, make sure you remember to breathe! Breathe in and out through your nose most of the time, and every once in awhile, take a big deep breath in through your nose and exhale through you mouth, making a loud HAAAAAA sound while you push out the air.  

​Remember: Focus on your breathing. Can you feel the air moving in and out through your nose?

Activity compliments of ​https://wyqualitycounts.org/
Now it's your turn to make you own card or set of cards!  Think of an animal and create your own yoga pose for it.  Draw the pose as best you can on the card and name it!  Share a photo of your cards on our Alaska 4-H facebook post so that other 4-Her's can try them out!
