Yoga Salutation

Before the meeting: 

1. Contact parents/legal guardians to let them know Cub Scouts need to wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle.  
2. Ensure access to the Yoga Salutation Poses worksheet, either by printing or on a digital device. 
3. Practice the model and movements.  

During the meeting: 

1. Tell Cub Scouts to sit in a circle and explain that they will be practicing yoga as a way to relax their mind.  
2. Demonstrate breathing when exercising: 
   • Inhale through the nose and when going into a pose 
   • Exhale through the mouth and when coming out of a pose 
   • When holding a pose, use deep breaths, filling your lungs and letting out your breath slowly. 
3. Using the Salutation Poses worksheet, lead each pose and have the Cub Scouts copy you to their ability.
