 Hello, my name is Emily. Thank you for joining me today for some yoga. We have had the most amazing week of weather. It's been bright and sunny and warm and it actually feels like summer is here. So today's yoga is going to be all about the sunshine. So of course we'll get started with our namaste song, a little warm-up, some movement. We'll do our mystery bag and then our closing. So to get started, let's start with our hug breath. Big breath in. Give yourself a hug or give your being a hug. Just take a big breath in. Lift your hands over the head and hands in front of heart. Namaste, namaste, this is the way we started. The light in me honors the light in you. Extend and stretch, twist and twist and let's have fun. Extend and stretch, extend and stretch. The sun, thank the sun. Let's warm up with sun salutation. It's been a beautiful sunshine day. I'm gonna reach up and reach for the sun. Hello sun and breathe out. Come into our branch pose or plank pose. You might need to splash into the water. Right into the airplane. I'm gonna come up into snake pose. We're snakes looking around. And of course snakes love to bask in the sun. Don't warm up. Let's push back. Let's come onto our hands and knees for a little cat cow. Whoa. I'm gonna drop my belly with my head. Oh, opposite. Drop my head, lift my back. Meow. Feel free to make sounds with me. Just out of curiosity. Have you seen a lot of cows out when you're in the car? Have you seen any? I've seen a few. Let's push on back and downward facing dog. And if you have a dog, feel free to bark. Even if you don't have a dog, feel free to bark. Get in the waggy tail. And if you have one, let's wag the other. So nice. I'm feeling a little warmer. Let's get moving. We'll have a couple songs and do a couple poses here. So first, let's go for a walk. Beautiful sunshine day. I see what we see. Walking, walking, walking, walking, hop, hop, hop. Running, running, running, running, running. Now let's stop. Now let's stop. Let's put on our sunglasses because it is so sunny. Do you see now that it's warm and the sun is out? Oh, be sure to give a little ant. Down on the ground, crawling around. I'm gonna give you a little ant. You can show me your little ant pose. Remember to bring your knees up. Oh, here we go. Ready? The ants go marching, one by one, hurrah, hurrah. The ants go marching, one by one, hurrah, hurrah. The ants go marching, one by one, the little one stops. You suck the thumb and they all go marching. Down to the ground to get out of the rain. The pretend we're ants. And what I'm gonna do is sit up against the wall and then I'll put my hands right about where my feet are. The ants go marching, two by two, hurrah, hurrah. My hands are down on the ground and then I'm going to use the wall to climb up using my feet. Watch this. You can just try to bring your body up in one foot up. If you feel good, you can crawl all the way. Do you crawl like an ant? Ah, so nice. Let's go walking again. Sangatulam. Walking, walking, walking, walking, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop. We're running, running, running, running, running, running. Now let's stop. Now let's stop. Sangatulam. See when you're outside playing on a sunny warm day? Any ideas? I've seen lots of flowers too. What do you think a flower pose might look like? Do you think it's similar to tree pose? Yeah, me too. Why don't we get into a big flower? We can even pretend we're a little seed. Let's say thank you to the rain, thank you to the sunshine, and we'll grow into a big flower. Now let's do one foot up. You can have it on the ground. Keep your toes on the ground if you'd like, or maybe put your foot on your calf below the knee. So we're pretending we're flowers with our petals open wide. Maybe find a spot on the floor to look at that could help you with your balance. So beautiful. We do one leg. We have to do the other. So show me your seed and we'll come up with a big beautiful flower. And let's get our legs ready. Remember you can leave one toe on the floor or maybe on your calf or maybe above your knee. Show me the petals opening wide and beautiful. Do you have a spot on the floor to look at? Go walking one more time. Our sunglasses are still on. Walking, walking, walking, walking, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, we're running, running, running, running, running, running. Now let's stop. Now let's stop using these sunglasses. Think of the sun. It almost reminded me of the big and make my body nice and wide. Similar to star clothes, right? Radiate light from the center. And we can sing a little song too to say hi to the sun. Have you ever heard this one? It's from the Beatles. Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine. Let's take a deep breath. Mystery bag. Let's see what's inside the mystery bag, the mystery bag, the mystery bag. What's inside the mystery bag? Tell me, do you know any ideas? Do you think so? Let's check it out. I've been needing this for sunny days. Oh boy. That feels good. All right. Oh, what else I found too? Oh, well now I am definitely ready for the sun. I got my sunscreen on, my sunglasses and my hat. I love this time of year. All right, I want to show you one thing you can do. I'm going to grab, you can take your hat and have someone toss it to you. Ready? And toss it and try to catch. And toss it, whoop! Try to catch. And toss it and try to catch. You can do all sorts of things. You can try it on one leg. Oh, toss it and catch. On the other leg, toss it and catch. Oh, very nice. Oh boy. Just a little bit. We're going to take a big breath. Now, imagine that the sun is right here in the center. And as you breathe in, we're going to fill our body with this beautiful, sunshiney light. And as we breathe out, we pretend to push that light outward. So almost as if we're in the middle of this big ball of light, just like the sunshine too. So let's take a big breath right into our center, inviting in that warm, sunshiney light. Imagining it's at your center. Very nice. That's a lovely way too, to just help bring a little more sunshine into your life. If you're feeling a little sad or a little down, you know, bring some sunshine into your center and just try to bring it through your whole body. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little sleepy after playing in all this sun. So we can either get into Shavasana and totally pretend we're on the beach and just lay back. Showing your body against the wall, bringing your feet up, and you can do legs up the wall. Both are so nice and relaxing. Let's just breathe here, breathing in the sunshine and relaxing. When you're ready, feel free to bring your feet down and then come into a safe position. Thanks for hanging out with me today. It's always fun. Let's do our closings. Let's take a deep breath in. Hands in front of heart. Namaste. Namaste. The light in me honors the light in you.
