Today is the day I work with my "itty bitties" 3 and 4 year-olds. For this age group the class goes pretty quick -- it has too. We work in and out of poses quick and try to sit as little as possible.
Today was about the heart -- as an organ and how it is connected with feelings. I introduced the main workings of the heart -- we breathe in oxygen, oxygen is absorbed into our blood, and blood is pumped through our body. Essentially -- we can not live without a heart and we also can not live without love. After doing a few breathing exercises and getting our heart rate going (we felt our pulse before and after), I then introduced a book called Heartprints. The book basically tells how doing things for others -- listening to them, reading to them, helping in some kind of way leaves behind heartprints. And when we give a heartprint we help others to feel good but we also feel good too. We then did poses that could have to do with things we love.
It was a good class. I ended by telling them that every Tuesday and Thursday they leave me heartprints by being in class with me.
Peace and Blessings,
Candace
