Blog. Read about upcoming events, Butterfly Kids Yoga news, and helpful yoga tips.
If I’m catching you between making nachos and getting geared up for the Bills game, I promise to make this update quick! 🏈
Reserve your spot for next Sunday’s Tween Yoga + Setting Good Intentions workshop if you haven’t already! This is a great opportunity for ages 9-12 to enjoy yoga and think about setting positive intentions for the year ahead.
Our summer kids yoga classes begin this week at the studio — you can sign up for a session or drop-in by an individual class. Hooray for flexibility!
Read MoreI am writing to you today to share an update about our August Yoga Camp. However, before I address these updates, I would like to take a moment to provide you with my perspective on how our community at Butterfly Kids Yoga can help to drive positive change and stand together as an inclusive community — for all ages.
Read MoreI’m so happy to see such great support for our at-home Movement Breaks. Whether your kids are taking advantage of them from home, or your school has shared to students, or you’ve shared our link personally — thank you so much. Until we can be together again, I’m glad the kids can enjoy yoga from home!
There are two new Movement Breaks available now. Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed a nice weekend (snow and all, here in Rochester). Things are looking better, weather wise, for the coming week at least!
I’m writing with a few updates for you, including:
- Update on resuming classes, events, camps
- Announcing our NEW online yoga shop
- Continuation of Movement Breaks and free Yoga 170 online classes

I hope you are enjoying time outside with these warmer temps! I know that we are coming off a difficult week as we received word of NY schools closing for the rest of the year. Big emotions, to say the least, as we are all navigating this together.
So this week, I chose to add 2 new Movement Breaks that are active and uplifting — I hope they bring you and your kids smiles and an outlet to release those emotions. Enjoy!
This week, I’m recognizing that our kid’s moods, emotions and energy will vary by the day (well, by the HOUR sometimes) as we all continue to navigate through these challenging times. My goal is to keep adding to the collection of Butterfly Kids Yoga movement breaks so that you have choices.
Different ways to keep kids moving, build strength, find calm, stretch it out, or simply shift their energy.
There are 2 new movement breaks for you to enjoy this week:
1. Sargent Salutations — a fun call / repeat sequence to get kids moving (all ages)
2. Pigeon Pose Stretches — great for athletes or anyone looking to move and stretch!
Enjoy!
I hope you are safe, healthy and remaining strong. I chose this word, “strong”, as the theme for one of this week’s Butterfly Movement Breaks. To me, it represents our resiliency, our determination to get through this time — and come out stronger together.
So with that, I’ve added 2 new movement breaks for this week:
1. Strong Warriors — strengthen, move and focus (all ages)
2. Love it, Like it, Leave it — a fun family yoga game!
Several people have asked if it is OK to share these movement breaks. Yes! Please share with your child’s school, teachers, sports teams, among friends — or with any group you think can use it. Enjoy!
I realize that while we are all trying to find balance and establish new routines during this time, questions about summer camps may also be top of mind.
As of now, both the July Mid-Summer Yoga Camp and our August Back to School Yoga Camp are still planned to happen. But with the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, registration for both camps has been postponed to Monday, May 11th. This follows the lead of Victor Rec, where our July yoga camp is held, and I feel will give us (hopefully) more clarity on what the entire summer will hold.
