Ella the Elephant woke up excited. Today was her first yoga class in Wildwood Forest. She had heard so much about Miss Sasha the Sloth, the best yoga teacher in the forest. Ella packed her mat and set off to the clearing where the class was held. She couldn't wait to see what adventures awaited her.

When Ella arrived, she saw many familiar faces. Mango the Monkey was swinging from a tree branch. Luna the Owl perched on a low branch, her thoughtful eyes watching everyone. Nico the Snake and Zara the Zebra were already stretching. Paulie the Parrot flew in with a cheerful squawk, ready for the fun to begin.

Meeting the Friends

Miss Sasha the Sloth greeted everyone warmly. She showed them the first pose, called 'Mountain Pose.' Ella stood tall and still, feeling the ground beneath her feet. Mango tried to stand still but kept giggling. Everyone laughed, and Miss Sasha reminded them that yoga was also about having fun.

The First Pose

Luna the Owl perched on a low branch with her eyes closed, breathing slowly.

Next, Miss Sasha taught them a breathing exercise. 'Breathe in deeply through your nose, and out through your mouth,' she said. Ella felt calm and focused as she followed along. Luna closed her eyes and breathed slowly, looking very peaceful. Even Mango managed to sit still for a moment.

Breathing Exercise

Learning Kindness
