I don’t know about anyone else out there, but my kids move nonstop when we are out in public. Whether we are in a store for groceries, a restaurant for dinner, or any number of other errands, us mammas are runnin' all day. And sometimes we find ourselves...
Este es un tema que me encanta dar con lo niños. ¿Porqué? Digamos que cada niño tiene cierta fijación con algún color! O al menos es lo que he descubierto en mis clases. En mi caso, todos utilizan un tapete azul del mismo tono y no hay mucho problema por eso, hasta el...
When you think of balance, what do you think of? A ballerina delicately perched on toe point? A tightrope walker? Maybe a waiter carrying a platter of dishes? Being able to physically balance is a vital part of functioning as a human. If you can't balance, you can't...
Last week, on February 14, 2018, our nation watched in horror as news revealed the details of yet another school shooting. On a day celebrated annually as a day of love, our nation and the people of this Florida community witnessed an act devoid of love. They...
I can’t imagine a better way to create connection with your loved ones than putting together a family yoga session. Our gym holds family yoga on a weekly basis, so instilling the same regularity in a home practice only makes sense. While I do enjoy the gym sessions,...
Muchos de nosotros trabajamos en escuelas, ludotecas, etc, y aunque nuestras clases son muy divertidas y llenas de risas y actividad nunca debemos olvidar que en el yoga para niños también esta la parte de Karma Yoga. A veces creemos que ya porque alguien realiza esta...

Yog. Or yog not. There is no try. There is so much yoga embedded into the world of Star Wars. The Force is akin to Om, Jedi principles match the eight yogic limbs, and the shapes of droids happily lend themselves to poses perfect for little ones. From mindfulness to...
When I go into my kid’s yoga class, I tell them meditating is the most important thing they will ever learn in their whole life. Yoga makes our bodies strong and also our minds. We work on the muscles through the poses and I ask them to show me...

The winter makes a lot of people feel reclusive, cold, and sluggish. Even kids sometimes just want to stay in, drink hot cocoa, and watch movies all day. There is just something about lounging in comfy clothes with a snuggly blanket! The darker days and...
I picked up a children’s book before I even had children called Alicia Has a Bad Day by Lisa Jahn-Clough. I bought it because my sister’s name is Alicia. And she had many a bad day when we were growing up. It’s one of those times in life, where you look up to see if...
