Yoga for the Second Grade Soul

Spring Break is over.

The children are off the CHAIN.

And not in the good way.

My 2nd graders come to me straight from recess. Not conducive to learning or teaching art. The only thing it's good for is raising my blood pressure to the point of steam literally coming out of my ears.

So last week I decided to teach some of them yoga to chill them out a little.

We all sat in the lotus position and practiced breathing.

They already knew how to take me out of my "happy place" by humming OMMMMMMMMMMM at the top of their lungs. One little girl told me that I "better get it tight, better get it right" if I was to find me a man.

Yes, I'm aware that I am becoming that art teacher that does yoga in class and talks about negative energy and happy places. I have accepted this. I refuse, however, to wear gauzy peasant shirts and Birkenstocks. I REFUSE, DO YOU HEAR ME?!
