To start our cohort days we like to do a quick group check in to see how everyone is doing. We then did an activity that explored our comfort zones in preparation for the afternoon activity. We discussed how to make sure everyone feels comfortable communicating how they're feeling while trying new activities. Later we took some time to really develop some key yoga positions such as downward dog and warrior. We did this so we would have a strong base to work with for the rest of the year. To finish the morning we worked on our journals and started to brainstorm for the next day where we would focus on how yoga has to do with sustainability. I think it's safe to say we were all pretty excited for the afternoon where we got to participate in our first acro yoga class.
During our acro yoga we learned about bone stacking and how it helps while doing partner positions. We learned how to properly spot so we could all do the positions safely. I found it really fun doing partner positions, it was a great way for us to get closer as a group. To wrap up our day we shared what we had worked on in our journals and shared what we thought about the acro yoga class. We look forward to connecting as a group during our next Expedition Day.
