A Morning Stretch
Starfish Steve's Ocean Yoga Adventure
Deep in the sparkling blue ocean, Starfish Steve lived on a cozy coral reef. Every morning, Steve loved to wake up with a big stretch. 'Today, I’m going to teach my ocean friends some yoga!' Steve decided with a happy flip. He was excited to share the joy of yoga with everyone.

Steve called out to his friends—Daisy the Dolphin, Ollie the Octopus, and Tillie the Turtle. 'Let’s start our day with some Ocean Yoga!' Steve said. 'Yoga helps us feel strong, calm, and ready for fun!' His friends were curious and eager to learn.

First, Steve showed them the Seahorse Stretch. 'Stand tall like a seahorse, with your back straight and your head up high. Take a deep breath in... and then out!' Steve demonstrated, and his friends followed, feeling the gentle stretch. Everyone felt a bit taller and more relaxed.

Next, they all tried the Wave Flow. 'Pretend you’re a wave,' Steve said. 'As you breathe in, raise your arms up like a wave rising high. As you breathe out, let your arms flow back down.' Daisy, Ollie, and Tillie swayed like ocean waves, feeling peaceful and light.

Finally, Steve introduced his favorite, Starfish Breathing. 'Let’s make a star shape with our bodies,' Steve instructed. They spread their arms and legs wide. 'Now, let’s trace our star,' Steve said, 'Breathe in as you trace up one arm, and breathe out as you go down the next.'

As they traced their star shapes, breathing in and out, everyone felt calm and relaxed. 'Yoga helps us feel like we’re floating on a gentle wave,' Steve said with a smile. 'It’s the best way to start our day!' His friends nodded in agreement, feeling serene.

When they finished, they all lay down on the soft, sandy sea floor in the Resting Reef Pose. 'This is how we end our yoga,' Steve whispered. 'Just close your eyes and listen to the ocean’s lullaby.' The gentle sound of the waves made them feel even more at peace.

As the waves whispered around them, Steve and his friends felt happy and peaceful. 'Yoga with friends is so much fun,' they all agreed. 'Let’s do it again tomorrow!' And with that, they drifted off into a restful, dreamy sea, ready for a day filled with ocean adventures.
