Indoor PE: Practicing Yoga

Lucas

During the winter, we stay inside for PE. Lots of students want to play team games like basketball, but I actually enjoy our new yoga classes much more. I am not a fast runner, so this is perfect for me. The best part of the lesson is the relaxing tunes our teacher plays. It really helps me forget about my difficult schoolwork! Some of my classmates often drop onto the floor because it is hard to stand on one leg. I don’t have that problem, though! I never do these exercises in my bedroom because I just want to rest after school.

Mia

I wasn’t sure about yoga at first. Now, I love it so much that I watch online videos and do the same movements in my living room on Saturdays! I even bought a special purple mat with my pocket money. However, the classes in the school gym are not easy. Trying not to move your arms and legs for five minutes takes all my energy. Sometimes I can’t stay on my feet, and I drop onto the ground. My teacher just laughs and tells me to try again. It’s very quiet in the gym, which I like.

Sam

Doing yoga in the sports hall is quite different from our normal PE lessons. I didn’t want to buy anything new for this class, so I took my older sister’s green mat from her bedroom. She wasn’t using it anyway! At first, I didn’t think yoga was a real sport. But after four weeks, I can tell my arms and back are much more powerful than before. I don’t feel sleepy or tired after the lessons at all. However, if the teacher asked me to choose, I would still pick a quick game of basketball with my friends.
