You Say Yoga, I Say Toe-ga.



We are practicing poses ranging from a tall and comfortable seat to headstands. (With some pom-pom games thrown in for good measure!)



Working our way through the Warriors. (I am strong, I am bold....)



The favorite. Ahhhh...savasana.

Cartwheels & music…its capoeira!

This week’s class focused on learning about each other, building friendship and developing a team-like environment. Students practiced the basic capoeira movement called ginga and were introduced to movements such as aú, cocorinha, bananeira and carangueijo, which help develop reflexes and motor-coordination.
We have lots of fun in capoeira class! Just take a look at the pictures below!

Week Two: MUSIC

The group are learning the skill of following a conductor, and playing with different dynamics. Picking the scarf up tells the musicians to start playing; waving it high means 'play loud'; waving it low means 'play softly'. When the scarf is dropped everyone stops playing. This is a video of the band in action!

Everyone did an amazing job arranging cardboard rolls in very different ways. Looking forward to working on these again this week!
