Instructional Ideas

• Have younger class members try the yoga poses individually before trying the sequence
• Prompt class members to finish the activity with a short writing session about other things that open their hearts

Classroom Considerations

• Does not provide diagrams or instructions for the yoga poses, so you will have to show class members each one goes if they are unfamiliar with yoga
• Be sure to guide participants through safe breathing and stretching procedures to avoid injury

Pros

• A nice addition to a yoga class for Valentine's Day, and a sweet way to integrate relaxation into your mainstream class

Cons

• No cautions are included that would guide participants through safe breathing and stretching procedures
