"I am happy when I'm in yoga class!"

"I did Crow Pose, Mom!" - Saturday class, 8-12 yr olds

"Let's do more Right Light, Green Light, YOGA POSE!" - Saturday class, 5-8 yr olds

"My muscles got bigger...SEE?" - Saturday, Family Yoga

"I am happy when I'm in yoga class!" - Saturday, Family Yoga

Lots of happy, proud, and strong kids at the end of the day on Saturday! Regardless of what age class they took, there was one common theme...they all left class having burned some energy, had fun with new yoga poses, and shared peaceful moments with each other.

A simple flexibility test for your kids (and you)...

Remember those fitness tests in school? How many of you can still touch your toes? How about your kids? Is it important? Yes, it is! In fact, studies have shown that not being able to touch your toes is a leading indicator in fitness related injuries. Yikes!

Girl Scout cookies? How about Girl Scout yoga! (And cookies too.)

January 25, 2017/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

Girl Scouts and kids yoga. They have a lot in common! Healthy living? Yes. Building self-confidence? Yes. Showing respect for themselves and others? Yes. Focusing on the positive and reducing stress? Yes. Plus, Girl Scouts and kids yoga both plant the seeds for good choices in the future.

This past weekend, I had a wonderful group of Girl Scouts take a Butterfly Kids Yoga class and honestly, we had a ball.
