Setting: Very bright colors with bean bag chairs and flowered rugs, very girly!!
The girls all wear pastel colors and each have a different colored mat. Excellent
production quality
Music: Light instrumental rock type music which emphasizes the age group of the
girls.
Workout:
This workout is great for "preteen" girls, ages 10-12.
The warmup consists of a few rounds of basic sun salutations. This prepares the
girls for the standing poses.
Standing poses are next. Warrior 1 & 2 are easy to follow as there is no sun
salutations in between. This sequence is repeated 3 times. Triangle followed by
side angle are the next poses. Again, they are repeated several times before moving
on. The last standing pose is a wide leg standing forward bend with a twist to
each side to work the waist.
Kristin then lets each girl pick a pose and demonstrate it. There are 6 girls in
the class. (in this brief segment the class doesn't follow along, they just watch
each girl demonstrate their favorite poses)
Floor work is next. Here is the sequence:
Full straddle forward & over to each leg.
Butterfly stretch
Pigeon & King Pigeon (this is done on one side followed by down dog, then repeated
on the other side) sequence done twice
Cat/cow
Balance pose
Hydrant pose
Down dog
Bow
Boat
Wheel
Then when the class is complete, Kristin has them roll like a ball to relax their
spine and then roll up into a standing position.
The girls act professional throughout. (no chatter, unless they are responding
to an occassional question from Kristin)
This is a great way for young girls to experience yoga and have fun!
