Our little kindergarteners were introduced with this ancient art of <strong>Yoga<\/strong> that connects the mind and body. Students performed exercises by balancing the elements of their body to meditate and relax. They started with breathing exercises which can help increase their stamina and relax their mind and body. Then the \u201cStanding pose\u201d to bring vitality and balance to the body and strength to the spine. \u201c<strong>Lotus pose\u201d<\/strong> to calm the brain, increase awareness and attentiveness and for a good posture. \u201cBack bend\u201d to strengthen back, shoulders, chest and hips. It also increases flexibility. And lastly <strong>\u201cBalanced toe pose\u201d<\/strong> for strong, stable and balanced legs.
