Imagine being a bird and building a nest! Lie on your tummy, bend your knees, and hold onto your feet. Great job building your nest! Uh-oh, the wind is blowing hard, so let's rock back and forth. Phew, the wind is gone. Now it's time to rest in your cozy nest. Well done, little bird!

Symbolises house, resting place, or a feeling of security.

Half bow (hold onto one foot). Thighs, calves & inner feet touching.
