One of the most loved yoga poses?

When it comes to a favorite pose in yoga, kids are ALL about their favorites. Teens? Crow pose or half moon. Tweens? Partner poses, like double downward dog, for sure. Little yogis? A cute butterfly pose or balancing in tree.

But the most loved pose of all (honestly, for all ages)? It's the relaxation of shavasana. Just the simplicity of literally laying down, unplugging, and letting go. It's this...so peaceful and so needed. ❤️

Solar eclipse mania! Plus, this week's kids yoga, adult yoga, and more.

The solar eclipse is coming. Do you have your glasses ready? I'm wearing mine right now -- they definitely help with blog writing. How about all of the flowers that are going to close? During the day? Crazy. I'll be looking for them closely because I'm not supposed to look at the sun. And I'm fully prepared for the crazy behavior of bees that I've heard a lot about too. Yikes! I will definitely need some yoga after the eclipse to restore myself to normal...
