As we got to know each other I discovered that Jane had a special interest in her First Nations heritage, and began weaving traditional tales into the yoga classes. The children heard dramatic animal origin stories and did yoga poses of deer, raven, frog, wolf and bear. At last I had a captive audience.
Eventually Jane started to look forward to yoga and greeted me each week with her big smile. Nowadays Jane is my special class helper. She comes in early and helps me set up. In exchange, she teaches one pose or yoga game to the group.
Unsurprisingly, Jane is an excellent teacher.
