We started with an om chant, then we went on a camel ride through the desert to get the breathing going. We ran into a cobra snake, then we went into down dog and it just flowed from there. Cat and cow, mountain pose, tree pose, triangle, waterfall, lotus flower opening. I think it is important to always do a partner pose and then a group pose to bring the group together. Svasana was peaceful.
Everyone was really quiet on my guided magic carpet ride meditation.
We sat up and I taught them that Namaste meant that "I see the good in you" which they had to say to each person while making eye contact. They had so much fun with that they started saying it to inanimate objects like the ceiling and the mats running around.They all rolled their mats to get an extra spray of rose water. (It gets hot in the room)
After they went out in the hallway to put on their shoes - I could hear them all chattering - "that was awesome! That was so fun!" Success and a great start to a yoga this year.
