This week began with an assembly at the Merlin School. The whole school, inluding staff, joined in with yoga breathing and some balance and seated poses. I started off by saying that yoga does four things for us - it calms our minds, makes our bodies strong, it reminds us to be kind and it feels amazing. There wasn't room for any forward bends or else a wave of children would have toppled forward and crushed me! It was magic to see a whole room of children in tree pose, and the Darth Vader breathing caused a lot of giggling. I have just started teaching yoga to individual classes at Merlin this week so it was a great opportunity to introduce myself to the children.
A further eleven yoga sessions this week meant that the total number of children taught reached 305! It feels fantastic to have been responsible for so many Kind Thoughts, Kind Words and Kind Hearts.
I really do feel so lucky to have such a great job.
