Flower of the Universe (From Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time”) by Sade (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: Internal
Purpose: Use breath to calm down nervous system
First move: Pick up a flower and smell it.
Start them off with introducing the image of beautiful field or garden of flowers all over the ground. And ask them to pick up a flower, smell it -really breathing it in, and then exhaling deeply, like a sigh! Repeat however many times as you want.
Second move: Waltz or Sway. You can choose to introduce this move as a waltz 123-123, or a simply sway side to side.
Ask them to move around the space with the waltz or sway. Suggest letting the arms float and move softly.
Whenever you want, ask them to stay on the spot, choose a flower, pick it up, smell it and exhale. You may also ask them to allow someone else to smell their flower if you want to include some interaction!
Transitions:
0:00 Smell flowers
Alternate with the moves whenever you want
2:40 Smell flowers until the end
