My inspiration for Yoga Freeze Dance came from the popular “This or That” fitness videos.

I would consider this activity a 2 in 1 pe game. Not only could it be used as a pe at home game, but it would also make a great projector warm up/instant activity for students when we return back to school.

How to play:

• When the music stops, you will look at the screen and freeze like the yoga pose for 10 seconds
• Yoga poses will get harder as the game goes on
• This will continue until the end of the game
