a little ball like you're a tiny little
2:15
uh seed and the seed is going to grow
2:18
and if somebody waters you if i come

and i water you like that that's right
2:24
and then you're going to slowly grow and
2:27
grow and grow and grow just like in the
2:29
summertime how the sunflowers grow
2:31
really big right okay so
2:36
we can be tall and we can be small
2:44

so the little kids are going to do march
3:04
like that okay keep going and then the
3:06
older kids i want you to balance
3:09
or how about the grown-ups do balance
3:12
and i want you to clap your knees when
3:17
so the little kids can go boom boom boom
3:21
like that and then the older kids and
3:28
and hold so now we're going to add in
3:32
some big arms okay so we're marching
3:36
where are we going where are we going
3:40
are we going to the boat to the train
3:43

3:46
the whole way till we get
3:48
to our destination where is it
3:51
would you like to go on a trip you want
3:55
let's see would you like to go to mexico
3:58

4:02

4:06
anywhere you want to go we are going to
4:10

4:17

4:24
i might i wanted my heart to go boom
4:28
boom boom boom the sound of the drum
4:33
my heart goes boom boom boom
4:36
yep it really did work now for all
4:39
ages of children were going to sit down
4:44
crisscross applesauce so my legs are not
4:49
one foot goes on the bottom and one foot
4:52
goes on top we call it ardha padmasana
4:56
the yoga language one foot on the bottom
4:59
and one foot on the top it's a really
5:02
good stretchy stretchy stretch for your
5:06
how about if it's the other one one foot
5:08
on the bottom this side
5:10
and the other foot on top stretchy
5:13
oh that feels really good i can feel it
5:17
up to my back how about if i make my
5:20
body go around in a circle like this
5:23
watch out for anything around you
5:26
look around and i'm going to go like
5:31
but before we start with a lot more yoga
5:34
always begin with our very first
5:37
yoga rhyme so that is going to be
5:41
looks like this we make the shape of a
5:45
this is our roof it keeps us
5:48
cool in the shade oh i'm so grateful
5:52
bring hands together this house is
5:56
and then we bow to each other or maybe
5:59
we want to put our hands down and bow
6:01
way deep down and that's also a really
6:03
nice stretch on my back okay
6:06
now we can do our soup mix but wait a
6:09
minute maybe i don't want to make soup
6:11
what do you guys want to cook
6:13
or maybe how about let's make a cool
6:17
and we'll put in some ice because it's
6:18
getting really warm outside
6:20
so we don't want soup right now right
6:23
so if my head were a spoon and my legs
6:28
this is for all the ages could you stir
6:32
show me stir your soup i'm sorry stir
6:35
not your soup i already said that
6:37
because it's usually called soup mix
6:38
stir your drink but what's in your drink
6:42
let's get some ice put the ice in shoe
6:47
and now let's get some maybe some honey
6:50
oh that's messy and the bees like it too
6:56
and now let's get some water
7:00
oh splash splash splash this is a fun
7:04
and what else should we squeeze some
7:07
oh well then i think it's going to be a
7:09
lemonade but sometimes i put in
7:11
or strawberries or anything else and
7:15
now let's mix so mix your drink mix your
7:19
other way mix mix mix
7:22
mix mix mix okay now we can take a big
7:27
what we're going to do is we're going to
7:30
roll onto our back so look behind you
7:32
and make sure there's no furniture
7:34
and we're going to mix mix mix mix and
7:37
roll onto our bag can you do it now take
7:44
that's wonderful another thing that
7:46
sometimes we do when we're sitting down
7:49
all the ages of kids the little ones and
7:52
we're going to get something really
7:56
maybe it's that same drink or it could
7:58
be some yummy food whatever you want
8:00
and then we're gonna smell it okay so
8:01
get your pretend stuff and smell it
8:06
and then we say yummy
8:10
so this is we're going to breathe in
8:13
through our nose and that's the smelling
8:14
part so it's big one big one
8:18
and now out through your mouth yummy
8:22
now on the last one let's say if we have
8:24
a bunch of leaves we picked up all the
8:26
leaves from the ground
8:27
and we're going to smell wait a minute
8:31
we don't have to smell those leaves but
8:35
nice little flower petals in there too
8:40
and now blow them away
8:44
or maybe it's your birthday or we could
8:48
well how old are you if you're three
8:50
show me three fingers
8:51
if you're four show me four fingers if
8:53
you're five five fingers
8:55
six or more or more or more okay so
8:58
hold up your fingers i'm going to
9:00
pretend five all right
9:02
so pretend this is your cake on your
9:05
hand and then i'm going to put five
9:07
candles on my cake so i'm gonna smell
9:11
and blow out the candles
9:15
ooh that was a lot of air so now we have
9:22
and so we have a lot of air in our body
9:27
it's called oxygen because we're going
9:28
to breathe in through our nose
9:36
breathe into our nose and out through
9:40
you get the pattern all right and so
9:42
what now that we have a lot of air in
9:44
our body and our body feels
9:46
good and healthy i want you to stretch
9:48
up high high high high
9:50
stretch up oh and now i want you to wrap
9:54
over your head over your head and grab
9:56
your ear and see my other hand went down
9:59
and i'm going to pull very gently
10:01
grown-ups you can do this too
10:03
doesn't that feel good okay now let go
10:06
and put the other hand down and raise
10:08
your other hand out i have a question
10:10
question how do i hold my ear oh
10:13
that's what i do and then pull
10:16
pull pull this is all really good
10:19
stretch stretch stretch stretch so if i
10:24
head i go back and forth
10:28
i stretch my neck back and forth back
10:32
forth forward and back forward and back
10:35
sometimes in our keto kids yoga class we
10:38
tock tick tock this is the face of my
10:44
ding dong ding dong who's ringing at my
10:49
is that you ah come on in
10:52
all right so we stretched our head
10:55
we stretched our body and did some good
11:00
we got in some very nice breath now
11:03
i have a good idea let's let our legs go
11:08
and stretch your legs out and stretch
11:11
your legs out this way
11:13
and now we're going to breathe in
11:16
through our nose again that's the big
11:19
and now blow out all the way so you can
11:21
feel the air to your toes
11:25
did you feel it okay well let's pretend
11:28
that our toes are the candles on the
11:32
cake can you blow out the candles all
11:36
big one big one and blow your toes
11:41
i felt it did you feel it okay now hold
11:45
hold your feet and let your head go down
11:47
how about kiss your knees
11:49
can you do that if you can't reach your
11:50
knees it's okay to bend your knees up a
11:53
here we go nice knees i love
11:57
my knees do you want me to show you a
11:59
game about knees okay
12:01
so we're going to stand up and notice
12:03
how when i stand up i
12:04
bend my knees okay you think that
12:08
is okay but now we're going to play a
12:11
is pretend you have no knees all right
12:15
so my knees cannot not bend i can only
12:19
as if my legs were two sticks all
12:22
little kids and big kids pretend to walk
12:25
but you can't bend your knee
12:27
now walking that's one thing but how
12:31
can you run but don't bend your knees up
12:33
did you bend your knees
12:35
okay open your knees that's a funny game
12:38
