 My name is Emily. Thank you for joining me for some Kids Yoga. Today I'd like to focus on being thankful. I realized in this past year that I had a lot to be thankful for. I'm really thankful for my family, for living where we live, for good food, fresh cookies, and all sorts of stuff. And I think it's very important to take time to just remember to be thankful for the big stuff but the little stuff too. Because then when we have that attitude of gratitude we start to feel lucky and we start to invite more happiness into our lives. So let's take a moment to think about what you're thankful for. We'll get started with our normal routine. We'll get started with some hug breaths, our namaste song, our extended stretch, sun sanitation, just a little walking song, and then we'll close it out with our mystery bag. So bring your loved ones nearby and let's take a big hug breath. Want to feel their warmth, be thankful for their love, their warmth. Even if they're not nearby, give yourself a big squeeze. Pull for everything you do every day. Let's take a big breath in, hands come together in front of the heart. Namaste, namaste. We start our yoga. Where's the light in you? Should we go slower or faster? A little faster? Not too much faster. Here we go. Extend and stretch, extend and stretch, twist and turn, twist and turn. This is yoga, this is yoga. Let's give thanks, let's give thanks. All right, let's get on up for a little sun sanitation. And while we're thinking about sun sanitation, big breath in. Thank you, son, for warming us. Exhale, breathing out, touching your toes. Oh, thank you, ground for growing flowers and food. Jump back. Thank you, our strong body and coming down, touching the ground. Oh, being thankful for being grounded for the earth, coming up in the snake pose. Thank you to all the animals, down dog. Feel free to bark and shake a tail. Come down, do my cat cow pose, being thankful again for all the amazing animals around us. So big breath in and big breath out. Last one. Now let's go on into donkey pose. So feel free to kick, loving, Vermont and all the farms around us. Let's come into our frog pose on the count of three. Let's try to touch the sky. One, two, three. And last one. Just noticing what's around us and giving thanks. I'm gonna put on my shoes. I'm gonna go for a little walk, pretty snowy outside. So maybe I'll put on all my gear, keeping me nice and toasty, which I'm very thankful for. Come on, let's go. Walking, walking, walking, walking, walking, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, running, running, running, running, running, running. Now let's stop, now let's stop. Binoculars on. There's some birds. Oh, I'm gonna come into a warrior three pose or my flying bird pose. So I'm gonna pour the weight into one leg. Feel free to grab someone's hand if someone's close to help support you. And I'm going to lift the other leg. You can stay here if you want to take it a little higher. Feel free to take it higher and flap your wings. Oh, so beautiful. Let's try the other side. I'll pour my weight into my opposite foot. And then I'll kick back my other leg slowly, slowly. You can hold someone's hand here. And then if you want to bring it a little higher, you can bring it a little higher. Let's flap our wings. Beautiful birds flying free in the sky. All right, I want to show you one more pose too. Binoculars on. Oh, we've got some clouds in the sky. So for cloud pose, I'm going to go about a little further than shoulder distance. And I'll sink down to my knees. And I can float. Ah, very nice. Now, we went over bird pose and cloud pose. I'm gonna sing a little song about being thankful. And when you hear these, maybe you can do them with me. Thanks a lot. Thanks for the birds in the sky. Whoa. Thanks for the clouds on high. And you're a little high. And then we'll come back to our thankful song. Ready? Everyone have their gear on? Come on. Walking, walking, walking, walking, hop, hop, hop. Running, running, running, running, running. Now let's stop. Now let's stop. No, I see some big trees. Tree pose. Awesome. Both feet are on the ground. I'm going to pour all my weight into one. Now slowly kick sand one foot here. And then I can put it on the calf under my knee or you can bring it up over your knee. Let's extend the branches. Beautiful. Let's do the other foot now. So I'll pour my weight into the other foot and I'll kick sand my other foot. Keep it here under your knee or over your knee. Let's extend our branches. Wave in the wind. Ah. All right. Let's get our binoculars on for one more pose. Just go back and forth very slowly. It's representing the wind and the trees. Let's do our song again. Thanks a lot. Thanks for the birds in the sky. Thanks a lot. Thanks for the clouds on high. Trees. We need tree pose. Let's do the opposite side too. You can do under your knee or over your knee. Thanks for the trees. Thanks a lot. For the wind and the breeze. So let's take a look at our mystery bag. Feel free to help me. What's inside the mystery bag? The mystery bag? The mystery bag? What's inside the mystery bag? Tell me do you know? It's soft. It's something soft and something's hard. Let's take a look. Oh, I see why these were in the mystery bag. Oh, these are some of our favorite, our family favorites. I'm going to pull something else in too. This is brown sugar. This little horse he's been with me since I was four years old. So it brings me a lot of love and very thankful for brown sugar. And then these are my children's, some of my children's favorite toys. They're a little coonie. I wanted to bring them in to show us some belly breathing today. It's always nice to give some love to our buddies. Ooh, look at this one. And take, lay back down. It takes some nice big belly breaths. My buddy's right on my belly. And this helps me see my belly raise up and down. And put my hands on the side or my hands right on my body. Let's take a big breath through the nose and then breathe out through our mouth. Does your buddy go up with your belly? You want to try that again? Let's try one more time. Big breath in through the nose. Oh, so nice. Give your little buddy a hug. And then let's go ahead and shimmy towards the wall or legs up the wall in your closing. You keep your body close. Bring my body towards the wall. In fact, my shoulders right hip are touching the wall. Now bring my legs up and then turn. My buddy's on my belly. Hands can be out. Hands can be on your belly. If your kiddo wants to be there too, I love it. Let's just breathe here and take a nice moment to cuddle. Let's bring our feet down just to have body to the side again. Hands can roll over on your side. Coming into a comfy sitting position. Let's finish off with our na-la-stay song. Big breath in. Hands in front of our hearts. Na-stay. Where's the light in you? Na-stay. That make you feel thankful and feel you with happiness. When you walk throughout the week with much joy, happiness, and being full of things.
