Yoga
After focusing a lot on lesson planning and teaching yoga to students I have been inspired to take yoga classes. The type of yoga I usually do is Yin Yoga and I find it to be very relaxing and helps with stress. In school, yoga is an activity that not a lot of teachers teach students anymore, but is something that I want to include when I become a teacher because I believe it has many benefits for students. Such as, help students with stress or anxiety, teach strategies for their mental well-being, and introduce students to movements they may not normally experience in PE class.

Ceramics
When I was in elementary school my grade four and five teacher included ceramics in our art classes. Then when I was in high school I took a few ceramics classes because I found it to be really enjoyable. Because I really enjoyed this, I take pottery classes once a week outside of university. Since I had fun with ceramics in elementary school I feel that when I am a teacher I can use this skill to help students experience this as well. Ceramics is an activity that can help students develop fine motor skills, relieve stress, and foster creativity.
Embroidery
When I ran summer camps in high school one of my supervisors taught me how to embroider. It was a skill that took a lot of practice, but I have improved a lot. I also find that embroidery is a good activity for myself because it is easy to take with me on the go, so whenever I have free time and need something to do, I can embroider. During my technology class myself and another classmate did inquiry projects on embroidery. Since my classmate had never embroidered before I had the pleasure to help teach her how to embroider.
