Jogging Through the Jungle First we will jog through the jungle. Stand up
and begin jogging. Lift your knees high and breathe deep. We are jogging through the thick green jungle. Let’s keep jogging for a minute.
![Page 30: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ride your Bumpy Camel Begin by sitting with your legs crossed. Take
hold of your outside ankle. This is your saddle. Breathe in deeply as you stretch your
body forward, chest and stomach out. Breathe out as you slump back, spine
is curved, chest is caved in. Keep moving this way and get faster
and faster. Bumpy Camel gives you a flexible spine. Keeps your back muscles relaxed and
strong. Helps you digest your food.
![Page 31: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
COBRA POSELie on your stomach. Put your hands on the floor
under your shoulders.Stretch your upper body up high, with your arms
straight and your stomach resting on the ground. Stretch your head as far back as you can and HISS!
You are a very fierce cobra snake! Keep stretching and hissing on the exhale for a minute.
Then breathe in and lift your tail up. Try to bring your head and tail close together.
![Page 32: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ELEPHANT
Stand up. Bend forward with your arms hanging down.
Clasp your hands together, with fingers interlocked.
Now walk around the room, bent over, and swinging your trunk.
After a minute, stretch your trunk high up into the air, lean back and let out a big elephant sound like a horn!
![Page 33: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
FISH POSENow let’s relax like a lazy fish. Sit on or between your heels. Now gently lie back so that your back and head
are flat on the ground. Let your arms be relaxed by your sides. Breathe and feel like a cozy fish in the water. Relax for a minute.
![Page 34: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Train Let’s take a train to a jungle far away from here.
Sit with your legs crossed. Bring your arms to your sides with your elbows
bent. Make fists of your hands. As you punch one arm
out straight in front, breathe in. As you punch the other arm out, bring the first
arm back to your side and breathe out powerfully through your nose.
![Page 35: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Keep switching arms and punching out. Listen to your breath--does it sound like train
wheels? Now breathe in deeply, and breathe out, as our train arrives at it’s destination.
![Page 36: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Air Walk
Lie down on your back. Begin to walk in the air. Keep your right leg
straight and lift it up as you lift the left arm. Breathe in as you lift, breathe out as your arm
and leg go down. Then inhale again and lift the left leg and the
right arm together. Exhale down. Keep going. Stretch straight up toward the sky. Air Walk balances the two sides of your brain,
and helps you think better.
![Page 37: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
To Be Is To Breathe One thing that everyone does is breathe. You don’t even have to think about it--it just
happens! But have you ever taken a deep breath on
purpose, say, to smell a beautiful rose? That is called being aware of your breath. When you do it often, you feel happier and more
relaxed. Here is a breathing exercise for you to try.
![Page 38: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Birthday Candles
Sit with your legs crossed and your back straight. Breathe in deeply.
Imagine seeing your birthday cake with all its bright candles, and blow them out, breathing out strongly through the mouth.
As you inhale through your nose, stretch the arms up and out.
As you blow out strongly through your mouth, bring them back together at the center of your chest.
![Page 39: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Candle Pose This is also called shoulder stand. Lie down on
your back. Lift your legs and lower back high into the air. Support your back by putting your hands on
your back near your waist with your elbows on the floor.
Push yourself up so that you are resting on your shoulders.
Be a very straight candle.
![Page 40: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Breathe in and out and keep straightening by walking your hands further up your back.
If you need help, ask someone to "spot" you.Make sure when you come down that you roll out
slowly. Inch your back down first, then your legs. Exhale as you come out. (Hold for 15-30 seconds)Candle Pose relaxes your stomach, heart, lungs
and all your inside organs because they get to "float" upside down for a while.
Make sure to relax your shoulders and neck while in this pose.
![Page 41: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Sliding Board Sit with your feet in front of you and your hands
in back on the floor. Breathe in and push yourself up into a kind of
backwards push-up. Make yourself into a perfectly straight sliding
board by pushing your stomach up and point your toes away from you.
Sliding Board makes your arms, legs, and stomach muscles strong.
![Page 42: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Deep Relaxation Now lie down onto your back with your legs
straight and arms at your sides. The palms of your hands are facing up, and
resting on the floor. Close your eyes and breathe gently.Imagine you are lying on the beach. The warm sand feels so comfortable on your
back. Feel the sun warming up your whole body.As you breathe in, listen! It sounds like the
waves coming up to the shore.
![Page 43: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
As you breathe out, imagine the waves going back out to sea.
Keep breathing with the waves for another moment or two.
Now, in your open hands, imagine you have some birdseed for the seagulls.
Imagine the seagulls circling around you. They want to come down and take the birdseed,
but they feel a little afraid. Make yourself very peaceful and quiet so they will know you are a friend.
![Page 44: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Breathe and relax for a minute, allowing the seagulls to come.
Deep relaxation after yoga helps to enhance the effects of the exercises.
It also promotes rejuvenation right down to the cellular level.
Meditation allows children to express all their negative and positive feelings.
![Page 45: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
MEDITATIONSit with your legs crossed or in lotus pose, and
put your hands on your knees. Keep your spine straight and feel like a
mountain, or pyramid. Close your eyes. Think of all the times you wanted to say "no",
and say it now. Say it fast, slow, soft, loud;
however you feel like it.
![Page 46: Yoga for Intellectually Challenged Children.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/544360feafaf9feb098b4998/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Go on for a minute or two. Then inhale, exhale and do the same for "yes".
Get out all your "NOs", then all your "YESes", and feel GOOD! Really let yourself feel each no and yes.
Get into it and go! Inhale deeply to end, then exhale and relax. Feel refreshed!
