Objective: To help students notice the physical tension linked to anger and release it through rhythmic, wave-like movements combined with breathing.
Instructions:
1. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Take a deep breath in, raising your shoulders towards your ears and feeling the tension build.
3. As you exhale, let your shoulders drop completely and release the tension like a crashing wave.
4. Add your arms: breathe in and slowly lift them up like a rising wave, then exhale and let them flow down softly by your sides.
5. Repeat this wave-like movement 5–6 times, synchronising your breath with the motion.
6. After the last round, stand still with your hands over your heart and notice the calm energy inside.
Reflection Questions:
1. What did the “wave” feel like in your body?
2. Where did you notice tension releasing?
3. How did your breath and mood change as you moved?
4. Could this movement help you to calm down when you are angry?
5. How could you use it before or after a difficult conversation?
