Dragon and Bee Breathing
00:00:24.116 –> 00:00:25.048
Hi there!
00:00:25.076 –> 00:00:27.119
Welcome to our Calming Corner!
00:00:28.829 –> 00:00:31.441
We’re going to learn
animal breathing today.
00:00:32.131 –> 00:00:36.659
Did you know that breathing
helps our brain focus and calm down?
00:00:36.841 –> 00:00:38.801
Animal breathing really works!
00:00:38.998 –> 00:00:40.799
Plus, it’s fun too!
00:00:41.141 –> 00:00:43.620
I’ll teach you Dragon Breathing first.
00:00:47.981 –> 00:00:51.332
Wiggle your fingers
like a dragon with long claws.
00:00:52.521 –> 00:00:54.964
Now take a big breath in.
00:00:56.831 –> 00:01:00.831
Stick out your dragon tongue
and let out all your fire air.
00:01:03.596 –> 00:01:04.867
Let’s do it again!
00:01:05.024 –> 00:01:07.240
Wiggle your fingers like a dragon,
00:01:07.255 –> 00:01:09.262
show your big claws.
00:01:10.185 –> 00:01:11.889
Take a big breath in.
00:01:13.163 –> 00:01:16.320
Stick out your tongue
and let out your fire breath.
00:01:19.022 –> 00:01:20.351
One last time.
00:01:20.499 –> 00:01:22.203
Wiggle your fingers.
00:01:22.243 –> 00:01:24.007
Take a big breath in.
00:01:25.814 –> 00:01:28.015
Now let out your fire breath.
00:01:36.686 –> 00:01:39.455
Next, we’re going to learn Bee Breathing.
00:01:39.846 –> 00:01:42.191
Take a big breath in through your nose.
00:01:42.303 –> 00:01:45.206
Keep your mouth closed
and hum or buzz like a bee
00:01:45.278 –> 00:01:46.671
until you’re out of air.
00:02:03.039 –> 00:02:04.818
Let’s do it again.
00:02:04.834 –> 00:02:06.211
Big breath in.
00:02:06.674 –> 00:02:07.954
Big breath out,
00:02:07.993 –> 00:02:10.194
humming as long as you can.
00:02:27.315 –> 00:02:28.438
Last time.
00:02:28.465 –> 00:02:30.412
Take a big breath in.
00:02:30.714 –> 00:02:33.148
Breathe out and hum like a bee.
00:02:55.036 –> 00:02:56.646
What a great job!
00:02:56.898 –> 00:03:00.787
You can do this anytime
you need your brain to feel calm.
00:03:00.835 –> 00:03:04.504
It’s so much fun
when we learn and grow together!
00:03:05.015 –> 00:03:06.780
Remember to use animal breathing
00:03:06.783 –> 00:03:09.286
whenever you want
to feel more calm!
00:03:09.685 –> 00:03:11.416
