I get asked this a lot as a Children's Yoga Teacher

January 01, 2017/ Butterfly Kids Yoga/ Allison Picciano

I recently had a conversation with a mom who was interested in having her 2 kids try a yoga class. She was explaining to me that she wants her kids to continue to be active with their normal activities (sports, music, school, friends, you name it!) but she was also searching for something DIFFERENT. So, she wanted to know, "What makes children's yoga different?"

Enjoy the read and enjoy those smiles over the weekend...for they are the best gifts we can all give.
