  2. Ask them to stop and show a motion from that favorite thing (possibly casting a fishing pole, swimming, holding the leash of a dog etc.)
  3. Then ask them to stop and complete a nature stretch series with you.

    • To tree pose for 10 counts
    • To waterfall pose for 10 counts
    • To river pose for 10 counts
