Chrysalis Girls Club: Week 15 (Lesson: Effects of Alcohol, Activity: Yoga)

This week was awesome! First the leaders read a story about the harmful effects of alcohol, since alcoholism is a major problem in South Africa, especially in rural areas like our village. Then I introduced the girls to a healthy, positive way to relax and feel good, inside and out: YOGA! They had never seen anything like it, but totally went for it. They naturally giggled through some of the poses, but really enjoyed doing them. Yoga actually seemed to be one of their favorite activities, so far, and it was a blast for me to share my favorite exercise with them!
