One of the moms came in today and said… ” Are you guys doing yoga? ” Why yes, we are. Right now we’re just learning a few poses. We do it during family time when we’re already focusing on being mindful about our breath for calm down techniques.
So far we have learned the mountain pose, the table top pose
and the forward Bend .
I feel it is our privilege to help grow the whole child. That means mind, body, and spirit.… And possibly a little academia. 🤷🏻♀️. Very little academia. There is so much time for that.

In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves.
