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

February 19, 2017/ Butterfly Kids Yoga / Allison Picciano

"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!

Making memories and sharing moments -- with Butterfly Kids Yoga

February 09, 2017/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

We make many memories and share countless moments with our children. Moments can range from big and impactful, to small and sweet. Memories can be ever lasting or maybe fade over time. For all of us though, "time" is a constant. We all have 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. For some, maybe that seems like a lot, but I think for most of us there are never enough hours in a day or enough days in a week. We always want more time.
