We had a great week with many classes, school programs, and events. Each class touched on the theme of Connection. Pretty amazing what the kids accomplished!

Building connections and so much more.

August 19, 2018/ Allison Picciano

I didn't grow up in Rochester but even though I'm not born and raised, I absolutely the sense of community here. Going to Wegmans? For SURE you'll see someone you know. Heading to a park? You'll probably bump into a friend. Walking on the canal? Yup, give a wave to several familar faces. It's kind of this unique "big-little" city with a whole lot of connections.

My word of the week: "Grate-lucky" (and here's why)

It's a gorgeous Sunday here in Rochester, NY and I am feeling incredibly grateful as I write to you today. And lucky. Can we call it "grate-lucky"? Why not! I may have just made up a new word, but I'm totally calling this feeling "grate-lucky" and here's why.

Inspiration from my Grammie

August 03, 2017/ Allison Picciano

I'd like to introduce you to my Grammie. She is 89 years young. She still hops on a plane to travel. She's an amazing painter. She's on Facebook. She loves a good glass of wine or two at night. She takes a weekly Tai Chi class. And guess what? She JUST picked up yoga 1 year ago.

I got to catch up with Grammie in person earlier this week while on vacation in Cape Cod. She wanted to know all about the kids, what's new in Rochester, and wanted the scoop on Butterfly Kids Yoga. We went on to have a pretty amazing conversation...

Making yoga connections

June 29, 2017/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

How many connections do you make each day? Little connections -- a smile from a stranger, an unexpected hug from your child, a quick text from a friend. Big connections -- reuniting with an old friend, a meaningful conversation, sharing an unforgettable moment. Our lives are full of them. And this week, I felt like connections were woven into each class, so I'm dedicating this blog to the power of making a personal connection.
