Morning Stretches

Friday, 9 November 2012

I snapped this photo in Luang Prabang, Laos as I thought it was really interesting. All these elementary students were outside in the court yard in the early morning doing stretches. There was a teacher at the front yelling out the steps and as you can see the students were all lined up following along. They waved their arms and did squats. I think they were out in the court yard for about 20 minutes. I don’t think you would ever see this in Canada. What surprised me is that all the students were so focused and everyone was completing the stretches. No one was fooling around or talking. They were very serious, focused and quiet.
