This is yoga. Water leaked inside my craft supply tote on Thursday. When I opened it in front of class I was feeling so upset and angry. I used this moment to talk about it with my students. I calmly modeled sharing my feelings and asked them to help me remember that “it is ok, it doesn’t matter, the markers are fine, nothing was really ruined”. Each time I pulled out another saturated box we giggled and chanted together “it doesn’t matter”. I took a deep breath and modeled whispering “it’s fine”. Next class we will follow up talking about how I chose to store my markers and maybe I will see what creative ideas the kids might have had for me.
This is an example of teaching how to handle unexpected disappointment. Not attaching to the experience and accepting what is. This is yoga! 🤍🫶🏻
