Apparently the Head Girl wasn't comforted by her words and if anything she'd just made things worse and Katrina had forgotten truly how very literal Ravenclaws could be. She closed her eyes a moment, breathing in, breathing out. Yes, they could charm their uniforms to be more efficient. "You have my word that changing into athletic gear during the lesson is acceptable, provided you're back in uniform after the lesson." Goodness. Is that what these kids wanted to hear? This was supposed to be about relaxing while simultaneously discovering certain poses as they related to numbers and posture and song.

She nodded though when the Head Girl finally took a seat. Even if she didn't approve of these methods, she should be expected to lead by example. And there were younger students already engaging in the breathing that Davis had instructed of them. Yes she wasn't quite sure why he was using the sore throat as an excuse for drinking tea, but she wasn't about to judge him or draw attention to it. Surely they could have pushed back their lesson plans a couple days had he desired? No matter though because hopefully these techniques would soothe his mind and body.

"Yoga has been used for thousands of years as a way to control thoughts and emotions, clear your mind, start anew. Becoming aware of yourself and your surroundings."

"In yoga, there are movements between poses that are called vinyasas. We're going to be shifting between a variety of poses today accompanying the 4-7-8 breathing technique." She stood from her mat. "Everyone on your feet. And raise your arms so your hands are about eye level, like so..." she demonstrated the first of the postures. "This is also known as the Fehu pose"

"Think of three runes... it doesn't really matter at this point what they are. And I want you to use the chart to assume the position and hold for thirty seconds before completing the 4-7-8 breathing technique that Professor Davis just mentioned and then shifting to a new position. You'll have fifteen minutes."



ooc: starting with a mini activity! So here's the deal, you'll have about 48 hours to complete this and catch up posts are more than encouraged!! Choose three runic postures from this chart here and have your character shift into those positions. You can use the Fehu pose as a practice. In between each, you'll use what Jamie posted about the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Any questions, VM / PM / Skype / ask me on twitter / etc ... have fun! <3
