One girl who hardly spoke before christmas arrives full of chat, full of joy and play! Everybody notices, like a new person! She is much more open and relaxed in the group. One young boy who has a talent for languages arrives saying «Happy New Year». Later when we bring our awareness to the ears- both japanese and spanish translations are given,the parents are pleasantly surprised ! We talk about what ears are for? One girl replied - we listen to them, then corrects herself we listen- hear with them! What sounds do you hear in the morning? Varying versions of alarm clocks, babies crying, the school bell are delivered «avec brillance» .We take hold of our neighbours ear and massage it gently. Relaxing and fosters connection. We go from popcorn seeds in balasana gently cooking to expansion as we jump up with open arms and legs.To finish we lie on our belly doing superman or superwoman (for the ladies) raising one arm, one leg and gently «landing» lying down with one cheek on the floor. Success! the children are startng to observe and feel the postures, They says «aaahh this feels good» «Its relaxing» !As everybody leaves at 18.30 one boy has a special request to do one more posture as I ring the bell.I agree. He sits in balasana head resting fwd and listens to the gentle soothing sound of th small bell. He sits up satisfied and relaxed. Heart-touching.
