Student Instructions:
Follow along with the video and mimic the different poses/movements. Please watch until the very end. Towards the end, there is no picture on the screen, just her voice. This is your cool down, relaxing time. Listen to her voice and the instructions she gives. This lasts a couple of minutes. She will bring you back as the picture comes back - again, listen to her instructions. If you are able, take a picture or video of yourself completing different yoga poses from this lesson and post it to me. Enjoy!

Assignment Questions:
From the video, what does "ocean breath" mean? Did you play along with the game, Yogi Benders? (This is towards the end of the lesson) Y/N If you played along, were you able to follow the directions? Y/N Did you create your own pose? If you did, tell me about the pose you created. How do you feel after doing this yoga exercise?
