- Explain to the class that today, they will be exploring different ways to feel more calm or energized through yoga.
- Ask the class what tools they know of that help them feel calm (e.g. mindfulness of breath, peace corner, slowing down, noticing sounds, etc.). Write their responses on the board.
- Ask the class what helps them feel more energized (e.g. playing with a pet or friends, running, time outside, etc.). Again, write their responses on the board.
