First, brainstorm with the students about positive qualities that they see in themselves. For example being kind, honest, hardworking, caring, strong, etc. Write these qualities on the board.
Next, the students took the “hand template” and wrote qualities that described themselves. They did this by writing around the hand template. 
Finally, the students were able to put the yoga poses and mantras for success together to practice and perform. This absolutely made the lesson even more memorable as it ties together so many different types of student learning such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning. 
I have always enjoyed watching gymnastics. Seeing the athletes twist, turn, and defy gravity was thrilling. I was so enthralled with those gymnasts achieving that “perfect 10” score. Who wouldn’t remember Mary Lou Retton?!
