(Photograph) - Nursery teacher Fiona Thomson decided that the children in Hilton Nursery in Aberdeen needed to calm down before story time, so she teaches them yoga. 'It has worked,' she said. 'It calms them down and they enjoy it.' Using simple, gentle movements, the children breathe slowly and stretch different parts of their bodies. Ms Thomson said it took a while for them to master 'hook ups', where they cross their hands together, stretch them out, then hold them in under their chins, but it is now their favourite move.
