This week I practiced doing some yoga poses, the poses I like doing are the swan, tree and headstand.

Physical Education

• The child has learned and practiced various yoga poses such as swan, tree, and headstand.
• They have demonstrated physical coordination and balance while performing these poses.
• The child has improved their flexibility and strength through regular practice of yoga.
• They have developed body awareness and mindfulness by focusing on their breath and alignment during the poses.

To further enhance their yoga practice, the child can explore different variations of the swan, tree, and headstand poses. They can also try incorporating yoga props such as blocks or straps to deepen their stretches or provide support in challenging poses. Additionally, the child can explore different styles of yoga or take virtual classes to learn new poses and sequences.
