Earth Inspired Yoga

4/21/2020

Project Discipline: Yoga 
​Ages: All ages
Difficulty level:​ Easy
Supplies: Some space outdoors
Today our friend Kendra Calhoun has some Earth Day inspired yoga for you.  Your challenge is to get outside to do this week's yoga session.  

The second part of this challenge is for you to set an intention for your Earth Day yoga. To give you some help with this, we've asked Julia Schaberg for some help.  She is a dear friend of mine, grandmother to my children, AND she has over 25 years of experience as a fitness instructor, changing the lives of people wherever she goes.  Here's what she has to say:

Tree pose, intention: Respect the Earth

Waterfall pose, Intention: Be kind to the Earth
When you practice yoga, sometimes it is good to set an intention about how to live your best life or to send good thoughts to someone or something that you care about. Think about what you want to focus your thoughts on and that will be your intention.

As we celebrate Earth day we can combine an intention and caring about the world. 

In yoga there is a principle called Non-Harming (Ahimsa). This would be a very good idea for us to think about on earth day.

Some intentions that you can think about during yoga or during your day while you think also about earth day might be:

I will treat the earth with kindness
I intend to not harm the earth
I will be kind to the earth and to myself
I will honor everything in the world


You can probably think of one yourself. While you practice yoga today keep thinking about your intention as you breathe in and out.
We can all make a difference to the earth and to ourselves!

Once you've set your intention, enter the yoga studio below:

Earth Day Yoga!

Be sure to share your photos and intentions, if you're comfortable, on Alaska 4-H facebook!
