Hello, everyone! Are you ready to have some fun and relax with yoga? Let’s meet some sea animals who will show us how to do cool poses!
Meet our turtle friend! To do the turtle pose, sit on the floor with your back straight. Bend your knees and touch the bottoms of your feet together. Lean forward a little and put your arms under your knees. Can you feel like a turtle with a shell? Hold this pose for a bit, and then you can swim back to the sea!
Now, let’s try the crab pose! Sit on the floor and bend your knees with your feet on the ground. Put your hands next to your hips. Lift your body up so you look like a box. Try walking like a crab, forwards and backwards. Isn’t that fun?
Here comes the friendly shark! Lie on your belly and put your arms by your sides. Lift your head and shoulders, and make a shark fin with your hands behind your back. Hold it for a few seconds, and then rest. You’re doing great!
Say hello to the starfish! Lie on your back and stretch your arms and legs wide like a star. Close your eyes and listen to the waves. Breathe in and out, feeling your belly move. Wiggle your arms and legs like a starfish in the sea!
Meet Zen the cat! Get on your hands and knees. Breathe in, and when you breathe out, round your back like a cat stretching. Hold it for a few seconds, then relax. Let’s do it a few times!
Woof! Yogi the dog is here! Get on your hands and knees. Stretch your legs and arms, pushing your hips up. Look at your feet and hold the pose. It’s like being a playful puppy!
Say hi to Namaste the cobra! Lie on your belly and put your hands by your shoulders. Lift your head and chest, and make a hissing sound like a snake. Relax and try again. You’re as flexible as a cobra!
Buzz with Mantra the bee! Sit with your legs crossed. Breathe in, and when you breathe out, cover your ears with your fingers and hum like a bee. It’s a fun way to relax!
Let’s greet the sun! Stand up straight and bring your hands together at your heart. Reach up high and say, “Hello, sun!” Bend down and touch the ground, saying, “Hello, earth!” Move like a dog and a cobra, and then say goodbye to the earth and sun. It’s a sunny way to start the day!
Wow, you’ve learned so many poses! Yoga helps us feel calm and happy. Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better. See you next time for more yoga fun!
Animal Pose Parade: Gather your friends or family and create a parade of animal poses! Each person can choose their favorite animal pose from the lesson. Take turns leading the parade, moving from one pose to another. Can you make up a story about your animal adventures as you go along? This activity helps you remember the poses and have fun with others.
Yoga Pose Drawing: Grab some paper and crayons or markers. Draw your favorite sea animal from the yoga lesson and show them doing their special pose. Add some fun details like waves for the turtle or bubbles for the crab. Share your artwork with your friends and explain how the animal does its pose. This will help you visualize and remember the poses better.
Pose and Tell: Think about how each animal might feel when doing their pose. For example, how does the turtle feel in its shell? How does the starfish feel in the sea? Share your thoughts with a friend or family member. Then, try to do the pose again, imagining you are that animal. This will help you connect with the poses and understand them more deeply.
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

Hello, everyone! How’s it going? You look a bit scared. It’s just like any other storm. We could do some yoga if you’d like to relax. My friends, the sea animals will help us. What do you say?
Hello, my turtle friend! I was just telling everyone we could do some yoga. Will you show them the turtle pose?
Sure! I’ll show you the turtle pose. Ready? Sit on the floor and keep your spine straight. Flex your knees and touch the soles of your feet together. Exhale and lean just a little bit forward. Now bring your right arm under your right knee and your left arm under your left knee. Can you feel how your back is curved, just like a turtle shell? Try to keep the pose for at least one minute.
And this is the turtle pose! I think I’ll swim back to the sea.
Hey there! I see you’re doing yoga. Would you like me to show you the crab pose? Let’s give it a go! Sit on the floor and flex your knees, keeping your feet firmly on the ground. Bring your palms next to your wrists. Inhale and lift your hips, torso, and head. Your body now looks like a box. Look up and keep the pose for five seconds. Try walking like a crab, just like me—move forwards and backwards. Well done! Now exhale and sit on the floor again. Rest a little and repeat the pose at least five times.
The crab pose is really awesome, isn’t it? Would you like to learn more poses? Come with me then! Deep in the sea, I have many friends who can help you.
This is my friend the shark. Hey, friend! Don’t worry; I’m a good shark. I’m going to show you the shark pose. Lie down on your belly and place your arms on each side of your body, palms facing upwards. Look up, inhale, and raise your head, shoulders, and ribs. Bring your hands and palms together, crisscrossing your fingers behind your back to make a shark fin. Keep the pose for five seconds, exhale, bring your hands back to the initial position, and come down. Repeat the pose at least five times. Amazing! You did so well!
I think I can see my friend the starfish over there. Go say hello! She’ll show you how to do a really cool pose.
Hey! You almost stepped on me! Never mind. Do you want me to show you the starfish pose? Lie down on your back, stretch your legs, and bring both hands over your head. Your feet and hands should be apart as much as you can to form a starfish, just like me. Close your eyes for a moment and try to be still and silent. Can you hear the sound of the waves? Now keep your legs stretched and bring your hands to your belly. Let’s focus on breathing for a moment. When we inhale, we see our belly rising because it fills with air. We raise our hands and keep them apart just a little. When we exhale, we see our belly emptying of air, and our hands go back to their initial position. We inhale and exhale a few more times. We finish this pose by wiggling our arms and legs. Time to say goodbye! See you around!
The storm is over! I told you it was going to be just fine. I think it’s time to go home. See you soon!
It seems like these kids are lost in the forest. Let’s ask them what’s happening. Hey, guys! Are you lost? You look really scared. Do you need help? Oh, look who’s over there—our friend Zen the cat! Maybe he can help calm you down.
Hi, friends! What’s happening? Did you guys get lost? I always do the following pose to make myself feel better. Would you join me? Get on your hands and knees on the ground. Breathe deeply through your nose, and when you exhale, round your back, lowering your chin to your chest. At the same time, press your hands to the ground. Rest and repeat again at least five times.
How lucky that we found Zen the cat! Do you guys feel better? I see Yogi the dog! Let’s see if he will help us.
Woof! I see that you guys are lost, but don’t worry—you are close to home. I am going to show you my pose, and you will see how you will feel better. We are going to get on our hands and knees on the ground. Breathe deeply through your nose, and when you exhale, stretch your legs and arms, pushing with your hands firmly on the ground and looking at your feet. Return to your knees and relax. You can repeat this pose many times. So much better, right?
You won’t believe it, but under those rocks, I see Namaste the cobra! Don’t be afraid; she’s an old friend of mine. I am Snake Namaste. Do my pose to be as flexible as me! Lie down with your belly on the ground, put your hands beside your shoulders, feel your breath inhaling, press your hands on the ground, lift your head and just exhale through your mouth and teeth, listening to the snake sounds. Then rest again, putting your forehead on the ground, and repeat at least five times.
Your house is that way, near the honeycomb. We are almost there! Look, Mantra the bee is coming out of the honeycomb. We are going to relax, friends. I am going to teach you bee breathing. Sit down with your legs crossed, breathe deeply, and when you exhale, press your fingertips softly over your earlobes, covering your ears. Close your eyes and at the same time let out the sounds until you exhale completely. Keep your eyes closed, then breathe again and repeat at least five times. You will see what a nice feeling it is!
When you finish, I will fly up high to see where your house is. That way, you are very close! With the help of our friends and their poses, we have learned that there are different ways to relax when we feel tension in our bodies. Being calm and relaxed helps us see everything with more clarity, and we are able to do things better and solve our problems.
Hey, friends! Do you know who I am? I am the sun! I have come here today to greet you and have you greet me. Do you know how we are going to do this? Well, it’s not exactly like that. I really mean something more original—the sun salutation. Do you want me to teach you how to do it? Great! We are going to begin with the first pose. Stand up with your back straight and your feet firmly planted on the ground. Now bring the palms of your hands together at your heart, breathe deeply, and when you exhale, breathe in while you raise your arms. When you reach up as high as you can, arch your back and loudly say, “Hello, sun!”
Now we are going to say hello to the earth. Breathe out while you lean forward, touching your palms to the ground, then say really loudly, “Hello, earth!” Perfect! Let’s continue with the salutation. Breathe in, and without taking your arms off the ground, move your right leg back, resting your knee and planting your foot on the ground. Now, pushing your hands to the ground, move your left leg back and raise your hips as high as you can, finishing in downward dog.
Look who’s here—Yogi the dog! He came to show us his pose while we are doing the sun salutation. Hey, Yogi! Now lower your whole body to the floor and lie face down with the palms of your hands on the ground. We are going to do cobra. We need Cobra Namaste’s help. Cobra Namaste, can you help us? Feel your breath, and as you breathe in, push your hands through the ground, lifting your head and chest at the same time. Breathe out through your mouth and teeth, making the sound of a snake. Go back to our downward dog pose. Remember, you raise your hips as high as you can.
Take a big step forward and lower your hips, with the left leg forward. Breathe in. Now, without taking your hands off the ground, take another step forward. Go back to this position to say goodbye to the earth. Goodbye, everyone! See you soon!
And now we have to say goodbye while you breathe in. Slowly lift your arms, stretch your legs and arms really well to say goodbye to me. Now you just have to go back to the first pose while you exhale. It would be great to see you guys back here to greet me every morning. See you soon!
