2.20 The Yoga Badge
The Yaga Badge is one of the best badges available to get children active. My 5-year-old loves following along with the Squirrels’ yoga poses whenever this episode comes on.

Set-Up
Everything is peaceful. Duggee is painting, the sheep are snoozing, the chickens are relaxing and Worm is reading. The Squirrels are hyper, running around the clubhouse, then outside. Duggee suggests yoga to calm down. He has his Yoga Badge.
Story
Duggee and the Squirrels get their workout gear on and roll out their yoga mats. Duggee shows them some yoga poses, starting with the lotus position, then the cobra, then the mountain, the dolphin, the Eagle. The Squirrels come up with their own poses. Norrie’s is the wavy tree. Happy comes up with the bendy bug. The rabbits arrive in their bus and play their instruments. Betty comes up with the balancing bird pose. Roly’s is the stretchy cat. Finally, Tag’s pose is the floppy fox. They paint Duggee’s chair in psychedelic colours.
