On Demand is HERE + studio reopening update

August 23, 2020/ Butterfly Kids Yoga, LLC/ Allison Picciano

I am thrilled to share with you that Butterfly Kids Yoga On Demand classes are HERE! This new platform will be your constant in bringing educational, active, mindful, and engaging Butterfly Kids Yoga classes to your children. Given the uncertainty of this pandemic in the fall, the anxiety and stress associated with the upcoming school year, and not knowing when we’ll be able to run all of our in-person programs again — I wanted to create a platform that could be your constant for helping your children with their physical and mental well being.

I’m so happy to see such great support for our at-home Movement Breaks. Whether your kids are taking advantage of them from home, or your school has shared to students, or you’ve shared our link personally — thank you so much. Until we can be together again, I’m glad the kids can enjoy yoga from home!

There are two new Movement Breaks available now. Enjoy!

Yoga visits the jungle + Half-moon balance flow

May 03, 2020/ Butterfly Kids Yoga, LLC/ Allison Picciano

I hope you are enjoying time outside with these warmer temps! I know that we are coming off a difficult week as we received word of NY schools closing for the rest of the year. Big emotions, to say the least, as we are all navigating this together.

So this week, I chose to add 2 new Movement Breaks that are active and uplifting — I hope they bring you and your kids smiles and an outlet to release those emotions. Enjoy!

Stretches for athletes + movements for kids

April 26, 2020/ Butterfly Kids Yoga, LLC/ Allison Picciano

This week, I’m recognizing that our kid’s moods, emotions and energy will vary by the day (well, by the HOUR sometimes) as we all continue to navigate through these challenging times. My goal is to keep adding to the collection of Butterfly Kids Yoga movement breaks so that you have choices.

Different ways to keep kids moving, build strength, find calm, stretch it out, or simply shift their energy.

There are 2 new movement breaks for you to enjoy this week:

1. Sargent Salutations — a fun call / repeat sequence to get kids moving (all ages)
2. Pigeon Pose Stretches — great for athletes or anyone looking to move and stretch!

Enjoy!

New movement breaks! Strong warriors + a fun family game.

April 19, 2020/ Butterfly Kids Yoga, LLC/ Allison Picciano

I hope you are safe, healthy and remaining strong. I chose this word, “strong”, as the theme for one of this week’s Butterfly Movement Breaks. To me, it represents our resiliency, our determination to get through this time — and come out stronger together.

So with that, I’ve added 2 new movement breaks for this week:

1. Strong Warriors — strengthen, move and focus (all ages)
2. Love it, Like it, Leave it — a fun family yoga game!

Several people have asked if it is OK to share these movement breaks. Yes! Please share with your child’s school, teachers, sports teams, among friends — or with any group you think can use it. Enjoy!

Yoga camp update

April 13, 2020/ Butterfly Kids Yoga, LLC/ Allison Picciano

I realize that while we are all trying to find balance and establish new routines during this time, questions about summer camps may also be top of mind.

As of now, both the July Mid-Summer Yoga Camp and our August Back to School Yoga Camp are still planned to happen. But with the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, registration for both camps has been postponed to Monday, May 11th. This follows the lead of Victor Rec, where our July yoga camp is held, and I feel will give us (hopefully) more clarity on what the entire summer will hold.

Butterfly "Movement Breaks" at home yoga

March 29, 2020/ Butterfly Kids Yoga, LLC/ Allison Picciano

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy and that you are making the best of this challenging situation. I know most of us are hunkered down and looking for ways to keep our kids active, engaged, and happy. To help with this in a small manner, I wanted to share with you a few free Butterfly Kids Yoga “movement breaks” — available to you now.

My hope is that this gives your kids a chance to move, breathe, and enjoy yoga at home. They are short clips intended to provide a quick movement break (yoga-style) for both little yogis and older kids too.
