Hi everybody, Miss Kelly here.
[0:49]
We practice our school yoga together.
[0:53]
Please sit in easy pose.
[0:56]
Thank you for sitting nice and tall.
[0:58]
We can focus better sitting nice and tall.
[1:00]
Hands together in our lap.
[1:04]
I have a story.
[1:06]
Thank you for listening.
[1:10]
I went to a cafe to get lunch.
[1:15]
And I arrived at the cafe, a long
[1:21]
line of people waiting.
[1:24]
Okay, I will wait with my calm breathing,
[1:28]
calm hearts.
[1:29]
I will be patient, not a problem.
[1:33]
As I was waiting patiently, I noticed that
[1:38]
the lady working at the cafe was working
[1:41]
so hard.
[1:44]
And I could see in her face that
[1:48]
she was really trying.
[1:51]
Oh, and I paused for a moment.
[1:56]
I was thinking carefully for a moment.
[2:00]
And I imagined standing in her shoes.
[2:04]
If I were working at the cafe, I
[2:08]
would really like it.
[2:09]
If people were kind to me, it would
[2:13]
make me feel better.
[2:14]
Yes.
[2:15]
So I was imagining how she might feel.
[2:19]
I decided I am going to show kindness
[2:23]
to her when I order my sandwich.
[2:26]
Yes.
[2:28]
So I ordered my veggie sandwich.
[2:30]
I made sure to say thank you, to
[2:34]
smile.
[2:36]
Also to look at her with kind, smiling
[2:40]
eyes.
[2:42]
And she also smiled, everybody.
[2:45]
It looked like she felt better.
[2:48]
And I felt wonderful because I was being
[2:51]
kind to her.
[2:53]
Please sit tall with me.
[2:55]
Hands into calm hearts, everybody.
[2:56]
Now we know that there is a word
[3:00]
that means to imagine standing in someone's shoes.
[3:07]
Think about how they're feeling and show kindness.
[3:12]
Do we remember the word?
[3:16]
Empathy.
[3:17]
Everybody, please say empathy.
[3:22]
Empathy.
[3:23]
Empathy.
[3:24]
We imagine standing in someone's shoes.
[3:27]
We think about how they might be feeling.
[3:30]
And we show kindness to them.
[3:34]
Empathy is very good.
[3:36]
No matter where we go.
[3:38]
Especially at school, but in a cafe, at
[3:41]
home, at the playground.
[3:44]
Wonderful.
[3:46]
We will learn more when we have empathy,
[3:49]
too.
[3:49]
So let's practice our calm breathing, calm hearts.
[3:54]
And we will sing our hearts are calm
[3:56]
today.
[3:58]
Hands into calm hearts, everybody.

[7:29]
Let's put something on the wings for our

[7:34]
When we go to lunch, our lunch staff

[7:38]
Let's show kindness to them.
[7:41]
And what is on the wings for the

[8:25]
Draw one side of the calm hearts.
[8:28]
Draw other side of the calm hearts.
[8:31]
And let's put in many smiles.

[9:29]
Anyone in the classroom who is assisting us.
[9:34]
What are we putting on the wings for
[9:36]
the TAs?
[9:42]
And let's also give them a glass of
[9:45]
lemonade.
[9:46]
Are we ready?
[9:47]
Calm breath in.
[9:48]
Up we go, butterflies.
[9:50]
Onto leg.
[9:51]
Calm breath out.
[9:52]
Calm breath in.
[9:54]
We are up.
[9:55]
Calm breath out.
[9:57]
We are over.
[9:59]
Careful.
[10:00]
Calm breath in.
[10:01]
And calm breath out.
[10:04]
One more.
[10:05]
Calm breath in.
[10:07]
And calm breath out.
[10:09]
Good.
[10:10]
To the center.
[10:12]
Alright, let's draw calm hearts for all of
[10:15]
those wonderful teaching assistants.
[10:18]
One side of calm hearts.
[10:20]
Other side of calm hearts.
[10:23]
Please place one beautiful glass of lemonade into
[10:27]
those calm hearts.
[10:28]
Calm breath in.
[10:30]
And calm breath out.
[10:34]
Good.
[10:34]
Back to easy pose.
[10:40]
Now we are going to do triangle pose.
[10:44]
You know a triangle has three sides.
[10:48]
And I know something that has three sides.
[10:53]
A slice of pizza.
[10:56]
Healthy.
[10:56]
Healthy slice of pizza.
[10:58]
So we are going to imagine that we
[11:02]
are in the shape of a slice of
[11:04]
pizza.
[11:06]
Now we need to have two healthy ingredients
[11:10]
on the pizza slice.
[11:14]
First ingredient, mushrooms.
[11:18]
Second ingredient on the pizza slice.
[11:21]
Someone raise hand.
[11:23]
Teacher will call on us.
[11:28]
Okay.
[11:29]
Now when we are in our triangle pose,
[11:33]
looking like a slice of pizza, we are
[11:38]
going to say calm hearts have empathy.
[11:46]
Ready?
[11:47]
Let's stand everybody.
[11:51]
Okay everybody.
[11:54]
Triangle pose like a slice of pizza.
[11:58]
Step one.
[12:00]
Feet go out not too far.
[12:03]
Feet are still.
[12:05]
Calm breath in.
[12:06]
And calm breath out.
[12:10]
Step two.
[12:12]
Arms go out.
[12:14]
Calm breath in.
[12:16]
And calm breath out.
[12:20]
Now step three.
[12:22]
We are going to go over not to
[12:24]
our foot but to our leg.
[12:26]
And we will say calm hearts have empathy.
[12:32]
Ready?
[12:33]
Step three.
[12:34]
Go over hand to the leg.
[12:38]
Other arm up.
[12:40]

[12:58]
Calm breath in.
[13:00]

[13:08]
Calm breath in.
[13:10]

[13:12]
Step two.
[13:13]
Arms are out.
[13:15]
Calm breath in.
[13:17]
Calm breath out.
[13:18]
Remember to our leg.
[13:21]
Step three.
[13:22]
Go over hand to leg.
[13:26]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[13:33]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[13:39]
Good everybody.
[13:40]
Let's come up carefully.
[13:43]
Calm hearts together.
[13:45]
Calm breath in.
[13:46]
And calm breath out.
[13:50]
Arms and hands are down.
[13:53]
Feet come in closer.
[13:56]
Please have a seat in easy pose.
[14:06]
We practice our school meditation.
[14:10]
Yes, everyone.
[14:12]
We like to make good choices.
[14:14]
Calm brains.
[14:16]
We like to be peaceful, kind to others.
[14:20]
Calm hearts.
[14:22]
We open up great learning when we have
[14:28]
our calm breathing, calm hearts.
[14:30]
We do.
[14:32]
And we make such wonderful good choices like
[14:36]
showing empathy.
[14:38]
Yes, being kind to others.
[14:42]
Imagining how they feel.
[14:44]
So, we're going to practice our school meditation.
[14:49]
Hands into calm hearts.
[14:51]
Calm breath in.
[14:53]
And calm breath out.
[14:56]
Good again.
[14:58]
Calm breath in.
[15:00]
And calm breath out.
[15:04]
And we will say calm breathing, calm hearts.
[15:07]
Calm breath in.
[15:09]
Calm breathing.
[15:11]
Calm hearts.
[15:13]
Wonderful.
[15:15]
Calm breath in.
[15:17]
And calm breath out.
[15:21]
And calm breath in.
[15:23]
And calm breath out.
[15:27]
Good.
[15:28]
Calm breath in.
[15:31]
Calm breathing.
[15:33]
Calm hearts.
[15:36]
Calm breath in.
[15:38]
And calm breath out.
[15:42]
Calm breath in.
[15:45]
And calm breath out.
[15:48]
And calm breath in.
[15:52]
Calm breathing.
[15:54]
Calm hearts.
[15:56]
Very nice everybody.
[15:58]
Calm breath in.
[16:00]
And calm breath out.
[16:02]
Hands are down.
[16:06]
Remembering my story.
[16:09]
So I went to the cafe for lunch,
[16:14]
waiting patiently, long line.
[16:18]
And I noticed that the lady working there,
[16:21]
was she feeling good?
[16:24]
She didn't look like she was feeling so
[16:26]
good.
[16:27]
She was working so hard.
[16:30]
And I paused and I thought, hmm, let
[16:34]
me imagine standing in this lady's shoes.
[16:39]
Imagine how she might feel.
[16:43]
I think it would be really good to
[16:45]
show kindness to her.
[16:48]
Yes.
[16:49]
If I were working in the cafe, I
[16:52]
would like people to show me kindness.
[16:58]
So that is what I did.
[17:00]
I showed kindness to her.
[17:03]
Yes.
[17:05]
Hands into calm hearts.
[17:06]
Sitting up nice and tall.
[17:08]
What is our word that means to imagine
[17:11]
standing in someone's shoes and show kindness to
[17:14]
them?
[17:15]
Imagine how they feel.
[17:18]
Empathy.
[17:20]
Let's say it together.
[17:23]
Empathy.
[17:25]
We feel good when we are kind to
[17:30]
others.
[17:31]
When we have empathy.
[17:32]
And then the people around us also feel
[17:35]
good too.
[17:37]
And we have lots of great learning when
[17:42]
we have empathy at school.
[17:46]
Please lift our calm hearts if we're going
[17:48]
to have empathy for our teacher.
[17:49]
Think about how our teacher is feeling.
[17:52]
Imagine standing in his or her shoes.
[17:54]
Show kindness.
[17:57]
Lift our calm hearts if we're going to
[17:59]
have empathy for our classmates.
[18:05]
We can do it, everybody.
[18:07]
Calm breathing, calm hearts.
[18:10]
Let's end our class.
[18:11]
Calm breath in.
[18:13]
And calm breath out.
[18:15]
And calm breath out.
[18:18]
Smiling, calm hearts.
[18:22]
Thank you, everybody.
[18:25]
Smiling, calm hearts.
[18:27]
We practice our calm breathing, calm hearts every
[18:30]
day.
[18:32]
Smiling, calm hearts.
[18:35]
They open our learning.
[18:39]
See you soon, everybody.

Hi everybody, Miss Kelly here.
[0:50]
We practise our school yoga together.
[0:53]
Thank you for sitting in easy pose, sitting
[0:56]
up extra tall, hands together.
[1:02]
So we learned that calm breathing and calm
[1:08]
hearts help us to have empathy.
[1:13]
Everyone please take hands and calm hearts.
[1:16]
And let's say empathy.
[1:22]
Empathy means, what does it mean?
[1:25]
Oh yes, we imagine standing in someone's shoes,
[1:30]
we're imagining how they might be feeling and
[1:35]
we show kindness to them, yes.
[1:42]
And you know, there are many ways to
[1:45]
show kindness, but some very simple ways are
[1:49]
smiling.
[1:53]
And it sounds kind of silly, but smiling
[1:57]
with our eyes, yes, nice eyes.
[2:01]
Smiling with our eyes, smiling, of course, with
[2:05]
our mouth and we feel good when we're
[2:11]
showing kindness, other people also feel very good.
[2:16]
Plus we're thinking better, feeling great, thinking great,
[2:22]
and that helps us to learn.
[2:25]
So let's practise our calm breathing, calm hearts,
[2:28]
are we ready?
[2:30]
And we sing our hearts are calm today.
[2:34]
Hands into calm hearts, everybody, calm breath in
[2:38]
and calm breath out.
[2:42]
And calm breath in and calm breath out.
[2:47]
And together, calm breath in.
[3:03]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[3:08]
Very nice.
[3:09]
And hands are down.
[3:10]
Let's make our pattern with arms and hands.
[3:14]
Let's say our nice words together so that
[3:17]
we are focused and peaceful.
[3:19]
We are going to do and say this.
[3:24]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[3:37]
We imagine how others feel.
[3:42]
And we are kind.
[3:45]
Calm hearts have
[3:54]
empathy.
[3:59]
We imagine how others feel.
[4:04]
And we are kind.
[4:12]
Calm hearts have empathy.
[4:21]
We imagine how others feel.
[4:27]
And we are kind.
[4:30]
Good, everybody.
[4:31]
Let's practise our calm breathing, calm hearts, calm
[4:34]
breath in.
[4:36]
And calm breath out.
[4:39]
Sitting tall, calm breath in.
[4:43]
And calm breath out.
[4:46]
I see lots of smiling, wonderful, calm eyes.
[4:50]
Calm breath in.
[4:53]
And calm breath out.
[4:57]
Calm breath in.
[5:00]
And calm breath out.
[5:04]
Peaceful, calm hearts.
[5:05]
Good.
[5:06]
Calm breath in.
[5:08]
And calm breath out.
[5:12]
Two more.
[5:13]
Calm breath in.
[5:16]
Calm breath out.
[5:18]
Good, everybody.
[5:19]
Sitting tall, calm breath in.
[5:22]
And calm breath out.
[5:24]
Excellent.
[5:25]
Hands are down.
[5:29]
So, empathy starts with an E.
[5:33]
Empathy.
[5:34]
Very, very good for us.
[5:38]
And very, very good for the people around
[5:42]
us.
[5:43]
Imagining how others are feeling.
[5:46]
Imagine standing in their shoes.
[5:49]
And then what do we do?
[5:51]
We don't just imagine what they're thinking or
[5:54]
feeling.
[5:54]
Or imagine standing in their shoes only.
[5:57]
We have to do something else.
[6:01]
Show kindness.
[6:03]
Yes, yes.
[6:05]
And two very simple ways to show kindness.
[6:09]
What do we say?
[6:10]
We can smile.
[6:15]
Smile.
[6:16]
Yes.
[6:19]
So, let's end our class.
[6:21]
And let's have wonderful empathy today, everybody.
[6:26]
