Let's Move

Let’s Move will encourage young learners to become more aware of their bodies through movement stories and breathing activities.

Course Description:
Each Let's Move class will begin with a welcome song and introductions. The instructor will introduce the theme, and begin a movement story for learners to follow along at home. Learners will be invited to stand up, and begin moving as the instructor moves, for example, the theme In the Forest would see learners running in place toward the trees, then having to climb a big mountain to get a better view. Learners would be led through a series of movements from crouching down as a small seed, to slowly coming to a standing position by rolling up through the spine, then lifting their arms up to the sky and swaying as the wind blows through their tree branches. Each class will also feature breathing and mindfulness activities, where learners will be asked to take deep purposeful breaths, with the goal of increasing learner's awareness of their own bodies.
