First Grade Yogis

I went to yoga with first grade today.

It was great. The kids did a mostly good job with the poses. Downward-facing dog was their favorite.

My favorite was watching them sit, which is what we've been doing since the beginning of school. Sitting. I'm not sure where they learned about yoga, but a number of them took the opportunity to sit like a cartoon, legs crossed and hands on knees, palms up and fingers in circles. Very ohm.

  1. Downward-facing dog is my favorite, too, because I like the name. It makes me feel like a six-year old again. And I can smile in a chuckly sort of way without being seen by and upsetting the terribly serious and painfully earnest yoga instructor who is probably thinking I will never learn and don't deserve to be in the class.
