Take turns leading the group thru our fav yoga poses (You don't need to lead to attend) ...& while we're in the pose, --sing your fav *short*, catchy, bellydance song, round, or the refrain from a fav song-- 3 times (we'll practice it w/you while we're muted). Or share any song that you love, from any style of music, that's short, easy to learn w/a very catchy melody!

Plz introduce yourself when you join the call

* 5 minute: intro/greetings

* 30 minute:
Those who want to, take turns sharing their favorite song &/or yoga pose:

Share your name or what you'd like us to call you today;

then guide us thru the pose...& while we're in the pose, --sing your fav short catchy song 3 times.

Share title of song & author if you know it.

If you like, tell us why it's your favorite pose or song!

*** If you'd just like to lead your fav yoga pose focused on breathing & silence, or just share a song, not lead a pose: Just ask for someone else to 1st lead us into a pose to do while you share your song; or to share a song after you share a pose. You can also request songs!

*** You don't need to know name of pose you share, just be able to share what to do:

Don't worry if you don't know all the things there are to teach about the pose. If any of us think something essential should be added, we'll let people know.

* 5 minute: Hangout
