Yoga with Year 1.

In PE this week, we have been practising different yoga poses including the mountain, the plank, the downward dog and the tree pose. We have been concentrating on our breathing and posture, which helps us to hold a balance for longer. 

Year 6 Yoga

This half term, Year 6 indoor PE has been Yoga.

We have considered how breathing can calm our minds and bodies and tried a variety of different breathing techniques. 

We considered how yoga makes our minds and bodies feel, learnt some different poses and how to transition between poses.

They finally created sequences for different purposes, which they could also use at home. 

YOGA in Year 2!

This term in Year 2 for Indoor PE, we have been developing our skills in Yoga. We have enjoyed learning new breathing and relaxation techniques and feel much more confident in our Yoga abilities now. We have worked in pairs and groups to develop our skills and enjoyed sharing our favourite Yoga poses.
