Hello, we have got yet another fun experience for you to celebrate the Children’s Mental Health Week this week!
We all know that exercising and stretching our muscles is super important for our bodies to grow strong and healthy but it’s also important for our mind, too! By doing some slow stretches and breathing exercises, our brain has got a chance to chill out and have a little rest – and we all need that sometimes, don’t we?
Why don’t we start with some breathing exercises to get us going? Here we go!
Lie down on the floor, make yourself feel comfortable and stretch out tall! With your hands on your stomach, breathe in, letting your hands lift off your tummy as if they’re on a balloon that’s getting blow up! How high can your tummy go?!
As your breathe out, let your hands return to your stomach as if all of the air from the balloon is escaping. Can you do it five (5) times?
WOW – that was some deep breathing!
Now that we’ve got our breathing under control, here comes yoga – and guess what? It’s about a certain, very very veeeryyy hungry, caterpillar!

We hope you enjoyed doing some breathing exercises and some yoga. Go and get a drink of water to keep nice and hydrated after having a great go at exercising and stretching out the muscles!
