Friday Hip-Hop Club Week Week 3: Bottom Rock Pt. 1

Program Description:

Objective: In today’s society of easy-to-achieve pleasures and advertisements built to shorten our attention span, it can feel difficult to not give up on our dreams when it seems so many people have. Hip-Hop culture is built around the idea that nothing can be perfect but we can work with what we’ve got. This week we will explore what it means to be self-disciplined while exploring the benefits and growth we can learn from it. 
Weekly Goal & Lesson: This week for our introduction, we’ll ask the youth what their favourite self-care activities are, come together as a group, and discuss the medicine wheel as a means to self-care in all parts of life. The youth will identify a self-care strategy and provide an example of self-discipline for each of the 4 aspects. To prepare for stamina-demanding routines, we’ll engage youth in a meditative/flexibility workout, encouraging them to push themselves; hold positions (planks, wall sits, push-ups, lunges, toe touch).
