MOSI yoga

MOSI in Tamp is fun field trip for young yogis!

I spent Thursday at MOSI with my kids and discovered a couple of cool yoga-ish activities there.

First, in "The Amazaing You" area there is an actual yoga room, complete with a video to follow. Next to that is a little Meditation Room, too!

My favorite yoga-based activity was called MindBall. You strap sensors to your forehead and try to get a ball to roll into your opponents goal. The catch is that the person with the calmer mind controls the ball's movements. So my kids discovered that either chanting "om" with their eyes closed or going to their Secret Garden brings their brainwaves low enough to win the game - every time!

MindBall is a great meditation exercise!

In the children's section of the museum (Kids In Charge!), there is a shadow room. You stand in front of a white wall, press a button, and strike a pose when a light flashes. Then, you step away and take a look at your shadow. Of course, we busted out tree poses, warriors, triangle, and half moon.
