We learned that Yoga has been around for 4,000 years. We are beginning to practice many poses such as the super hero pose the tree pose and the child pose. Anthony here will demonstrate these poses.

We learned that namastay means I respect you and is a sign of respect. We learned that yoga relaxes you, gives you strength, and gives you balance. Yoga is also a ancient art. WOW! There's a lot of cool things about yoga.

Mayan's had Society classes, Society roles, great craftsmen, and slaves. Some Society class ranks were slaves, peasants, and other workers. These people were in the low class. Craftsmen, traders, and warriors were in the middle class. Leaders, Nobles, and priests were in the high class. The Mayan child's role was to help there elders. When a boy was five or six they were suppose to help there father farm. Women usually raised children. When a boy was four or five they started to train with there father. When teenagers became fifteen they were suppose to train with their father. When teenagers became fifteen they were suppose to be independent, get food for themselves, of course the family was still there to help it's just that they had to strive to provide for themselves. That was a tough life for the Mayan teen! Mayan's also had slaves these people were caught from enemy tribes. They either worked in a field, in homes, or watched children they worked for nobles. Lastly, the Mayan's were great craftsmen. Even back then they made huge statues and musical instruments like the drum. They made outstanding fabrics. WOW! Mayan's are very interesting. []  []   []
