Nashua, NH! Kids' Summer Series at Banyan Tree Yoga studio! 6 week session, June 23-July 28, 2016

As events are scheduled, they will be posted on my blog.  This summer, I will be teaching a 6 week series for children ages 6-12! The class will be held on Thursdays from 11-12 pm, from June 23-July 28, 2016.  Registration will be made through Banyan Tree Yoga's website under "Workshops & Specialty Classes."  

I can't wait to teach at this studio.  It is so beautiful with hardwood floors and big windows.  We also have access to Mine Falls Park and will probably practice yoga outdoors!

International Kids Yoga Day!

Friday April 8, 2016 is the First Annual International Kids Yoga day!

At 11 am, Kids around the world in classrooms, parks, daycare, and home will be participating in 5 minutes of yoga!  What a great idea!  I wish I heard about this earlier.  I would have made sure I got myself into a classroom at 11 am to teach some wondering breath word and poses!  Next year I'll make sure I'll be in a classroom helping out!

If you have a child, please think of stopping whatever you're doing at 11 am and doing 5 minutes of yoga with them!  There are a lot of great videos on You Tube if you search "Child Yoga" or "Kids Yoga"  you might even try "Kids Yoga breath work"  Unlike adult yoga, the names are "lions breath, bubble breath, bumble bee breath, conductors breath, flying breath"... actually- those might be great ideas to google before 11 if you can! 

Have a great day on Friday!  I'll be getting my certification in First Aid/CPR for adults and infants/AED training!  Safety first!

Where do I find the different pages?

To the right of the blog, there will be different pages listed.  I just added the sample of my consent/ Release of Liability Waiver form on it's own separate page! You will find different pages there over time that share my resume, pricing, and other things.

I will be using the blog to share great articles that I find, events that I'm participating in and/or created, and any other information and news that I come across!

I will leave you with a great article and fun craft project that is great for mindfulness in children!  This can be a great activity to do with your children to create calmness and help them develop a way to express emotions and feelings.
