Halloween Yoga Ideas!

 Next week the Gleason Family YMCA is having a Halloween night for kids.  I will be teaching Pirate Yoga!  It will be a 20 minute yoga practice using Hatha Yoga but giving the poses pirate related names. For example, Downward Dog with be "shark," as it looks like a shark fin.  The series of poses will be a story of sorts.  
Last week I taught a Pirate Zencycle class!  The 1/2 hour spin was to pirate music, I spoke in pirate and we dressed like pirates.  During the 1/2 hour yoga practice I used pirate names for the poses and set it to a story of sorts.
