A caption reads "TVO Kids presents."

In animation, the opening of the show rolls.

As the sun comes up between the mountains, colourful letters with different mood facial expressions form the name of the show. It reads "How do you feel?"

Akin sits in the basement.

Akin is in his mid-teens, with slightly long braided brown hair and wears black sweatpants with white stripes on the sides and a green sweatshirt.

(music plays)

He says HOOOOOW DOOOO YOOOOU FEEEEL.
AH! ME?
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I'M
FEELING RATHER PEACEFUL.
A BIG PART OF MY INNER
PEACE IS BECAUSE
I JUST FINISHED DOING YOGA.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
YOGA IS?
IT'S A FUN WAY TO CONNECT
YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
TO YOUR BODY!
YOU DO A SERIES OF DIFFERENT
STRETCHES
WHILE BREATHING DEEPLY.
[INHALING]

He says AH!
AND THE MOVEMENTS HAVE SUPER
FUN NAMES.
THE ONE I JUST DID IS CALLED
COBRA, HISSSS.
HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU MORE.

He puts his hands on the floor making an inverted V shape with his body.

He says THIS IS CALLED DOWNWARD DOG,
RUFF RUFF!

Now he stands with one leg forward, wide apart from the other and his arms stretched in the same direction.

He says THIS IS CALLED WARRIOR 2.
THAT'S FITTING, BECAUSE IN MY
OPINION, YOU'RE ALL WARRIORS!
YOGA HAS LOTS OF BENEFITS FOR
PEOPLE OF ALL AGES!
IT CAN IMPROVE YOUR BALANCE,
STRENGTH, AND FLEXIBILITY.
BUT YOGA CAN BUILD NOT JUST
STRENGTH IN YOUR BODY,
BUT STRENGTH IN YOUR MIND
AS WELL.
YOGA CAN HELP IMPROVE FOCUS,
MEMORY, AND SELF ESTEEM.
PLUS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE FLEXIBLE TO DO IT.
SOMETIMES IT'S JUST NICE TO JUST
LAY BACK INTO THIS MOVE
CHILD'S POSE!

He sits on her ankles and lets his body rest over his thighs with his arms stretched to the front.

[INHALES]

He says IN YOGA THERE'S NO PRESSURE TO
DO ANYTHING
BUT WHAT FEELS COMFORTABLE
TO YOU.
EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT!
JUST TRY NOT TO GET SO
COMFORTABLE AND RELAXED
THAT YOU FALL...A...SLEE...
[SNORES]

He falls asleep.

Then he wakes up and says I'M AWAKE! I'M AWAKE!
SO IF YOU'RE FEELING DOWN, TRY
BRINGING BALANCE
TO YOUR BODY AND MIND
BY GIVING YOGA A TRY!
JUST DON'T TRY THIS MOVE AT
HOME, I MADE IT UP MYSELF.
SPIDER WALK, ACTIVATE!

He bends backwards and walks away like a spider.

Music plays as the end credits roll.
