What better way to introduce yoga to a bunch of three, four and five-year-olds than to have them do animal poses!

International Yoga Day was celebrated with fervour in the Montessori. The children were taken right into the jungle, where they learnt a few yoga poses, such as the giraffe asana, the cobra asana, and the elephant asana.

They coloured and painted a mandala to gentle music to help the calmness permeate through.

The day set the tone for some robust yoga to be practiced in class with the help of the yoga cards.
