Sesame Workshop description
Leela is teaching an early morning yoga class and demonstrating her version of the Flamingo Pose when Telly comes by. She explains to him that yoga is a special kind of exercise from India and all the breathing and stretching feels great. Telly wants to do The Flamingo pose, so Elmo and Rosita begin teaching him to put his arms up, then out, then leg up… but Telly falls down. Telly tries again, but keeps falling. Elmo suggests that he try lifting the other leg or letting Rosita and Elmo hold his arms until he’s balanced, but that doesn’t work either. Telly is convinced that he can’t balance because one of his elbows is heavier than the other. Elmo and Rosita give him lots of objects to hold in his hands to make his weight equal on both sides, but he keeps crashing down. Chris helps Telly try to find his balance by supporting his arms as he shifts his weight. It works! Telly happily thanks everyone for all their help. He can’t wait to practice other yoga poses too!
