Alive, Awake, Alert, Enthusiastic 

Instructions:

Sitting up straight and/or standing: 

• Touch your head on “Alive”

• Pump your left arm “Enthus,” then pump your right arm on “iastic”

Modifications:

We have remixed the song for organizing spaces: Aware, Engage, Speak Up, and Claim Your Power

Praxis (why + theory):

We typically use this exercise as an “ice breaker” because the movement and song collectively synchronizes everyone in the space.
