Blog. Read about upcoming events, Butterfly Kids Yoga news, and helpful yoga tips.
When it comes to a favorite pose in yoga, kids are ALL about their favorites. Teens? Crow pose or half moon. Tweens? Partner poses, like double downward dog, for sure. Little yogis? A cute butterfly pose or balancing in tree.
But the most loved pose of all (honestly, for all ages)? It's the relaxation of shavasana. Just the simplicity of literally laying down, unplugging, and letting go. It's this...so peaceful and so needed. ❤️
Hello everyone! I hope you had a nice weekend and if I saw you at a class or an event this past week, thank you for spending time enjoying a little Butterfly Kids Yoga!

Have a great week everyone. See you at yoga!

But what about something like this during the day? Friends… it’s happening!
I’m thrilled to announce our new partnership with M/Body — one of Rochester’s very best fitness studios. Together, we are offering YOU the opportunity to take a great class while your kids do too.

Read MoreTonight I'm reflecting back on the memories made during last week's Back to School Yoga Camp. From the morning session, to the older kids in the afternoon, each day celebrated the end of summer and prepped us for back to school. Here are a few pics from our week. Enjoy!
Read MoreI 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.

Read MoreWhen it comes to a good challenge in yoga, kids are ALL about it. Teens? Crow pose or working on their flexibility and mobility. Tweens? Partner poses are their jam. Double downward dog, anyone? Little yogis? Balancing in boat, flower or crane pose. But the most challenging pose of all? It's the simplicity of unwinding. Of just allowing themselves to lie back, relax, and let go.
Read MoreI heard something yesterday that really made me pause and reflect. It was during a Yoga for Athletes session with 15 strong and talented teens. I was teaching alongside Heidi, my fellow teen instructor, and she found the perfect words.
