Classes for ages 3-5, new Rec Center partner, and more!

August 12, 2018/ Allison Picciano

Honestly, there is nothing cuter than preschoolers doing yoga. Yoga...a 5,000 year old practice that preschoolers are really, really GOOD at. Downward dog? A hands down favorite. (Yes, we might occassionally bark!) Breathing work to calm our hearts? The kids ask for it in every class. Tricky poses? They can't get enough. Shavasana time to recenter? So great, even for the littlest yogis.

This Fall, classes for preschoolers can be found at several Rec Centers around our community, including our newest partner, Webster Rec Center! And if you are planning ahead, enrollment is already open for most classes. Details within!

August schedule (and a new class to announce!)

After a week of sunny skies, salty air, and sandy toes, I am so excited to be back from vacation and with you. It's the last month of summer (gasp!) but also the perfect time to try a new class or head to your favorite. For your kids. For you. Or maybe for both.

And, new class alert! I'm excited to announce our new "Reboot and Restore" class for Teens, Collegiate Level and Adults. Sundays at 5PM. Full details and all August happenings within.

July yoga camp moments (and more pics)

If you mix active yoga, creative art, teamwork, new friends, mindfulness and a whole lot of fun all together, that is how I would describe last week's Mid-Summer Yoga Camp.

Here are a few pics from the week. So many great moments!

Our Mid-Summer Yoga Camp kicked off today and our campers are off to a great start! We have a great week in store with lots of yoga, teamwork, creative art projects, pose workshops and cool mindfulness activities.

Some classes are paused this week because of yoga camp, but Tuesday's 6PM classes are still on, as well as Friday Night Yoga Club.

A beer, a quote, and how it made me smile.

Confession. I'm a yoga teacher and I love craft beers, especially on hot summer days :) Even better are the ones that have great quotes under the cap. That's exactly what I found over the weekend under the cap of a Magic Hat #9.

Yoga for You. Yoga for Your Kids. Meet the summer line-up!

June 25, 2018/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

Last summer, we introduced "Yoga for You. Yoga for Your Kids", a chance for kids and parents to come to yoga together, but each take their own class. Parents in one room, kids right next door. And now, a year later, "Yoga for You. Yoga for Your Kids." is a regular Tuesday 6PM event, bringing parents and kids together with yoga.

This summer, I'm excited to once again team up with talented adult instructors from around our community. We've brought together a great team of teachers that are all here to offer YOU the chance to take a great class. Check out the summer line-up and see you on the mat!

One day. Over 300 kids. Yoga comes to Field Days!

June 17, 2018/ Butterfly Kids Yoga/ Allison Picciano

Time for a trip down memory lane! Think back to your field days. If you are like me, you immediately picture tug of war, potato sack runs, and relay races, right? But now, schools are becoming more progressive in the way they incorporate health, wellness, and fun into school programs -- and students are enjoying the benefits.

I was very honored and excited to be given the opportunity to bring Butterfly Kids Yoga to Field Days at one Fairport elementary school this past week. The chance to introduce yoga to hundreds of kids and give them all an opportunity to feel strong, find balance, reset, and find calm.

International Day of Yoga (and we're gifting to celebrate!)

June 11, 2018/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

The official International Day of Yoga is coming up on Thursday, June 21st and we're kicking off the celebration a little early! In honor of an actual DAY dedicated to all-things-yoga, Butterfly Kids Yoga will be raffling Athleta gift cards to several lucky winners from now through the International Day of Yoga. Because other than actually going to yoga, shopping for new yoga gear is also a very legitimate way to celebrate :)
