ABSTRACT

The activities in this chapter are written for middle school classrooms. These activities are designed to be included in your classroom POP Chart in the “SELF: Warm Up and Energize” quadrant. Although practiced in a group setting, these SELF: Warm Up and Energize activities are designed to engage students as individuals and positively shift their energy through yoga and movement. After each activity has been taught, it should be added to the POP Chart, so that students can utilize it during their morning check-in routine, if they request a break while in your class, or if you feel you need to positively shift the energy of the group.
