"Let's hear it for the boys!" (Plus this week's schedule)

"Let's hear it for the boys!" (Plus this week's schedule)

Gorilla pose. Superhero pose. Lion pose. Warrior I, II, and III showing our BIG muscles. Not only are these really fun poses, but they are SUPER popular among the boys of Butterfly Kids Yoga. And oh boy, on Saturday, we had the studio rumbling with lion roars, gorilla noises and muscle flexing! And I might have thrown in Everything is Awesome!! tunes from the Lego movie. I have to give a shout out to my very first class with ALL boys ("except for you, Miss Ali!" they reminded me). I kept up as best as I could :)

One of my goals with Butterfly Kids Yoga is to give kids great tips and techniques that they can actually USE...even outside of yoga class. Yoga breathing is how we start off class, how we end class, and we use it throughout! From my little preschool yogis to my older tween yogis, we all practice our yoga breathing...and here's a peek at how we do it!
