Exciting partnership announcement

I know, as a mom, how challenging it is to find the time to get to a great fitness class. That was the thought when we started offering our Tuesday 6pm “Yoga for You. Yoga for Your Kids.” Same time, separate classes. A chance for you to get to yoga and your kids, too. Hooray!

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.

Classes for ages 3-5, new Rec Center partner, and more!

August 12, 2018/ Allison Picciano

Honestly, there is nothing cuter than preschoolers doing yoga. Yoga...a 5,000 year old practice that preschoolers are really, really GOOD at. Downward dog? A hands down favorite. (Yes, we might occassionally bark!) Breathing work to calm our hearts? The kids ask for it in every class. Tricky poses? They can't get enough. Shavasana time to recenter? So great, even for the littlest yogis.

This Fall, classes for preschoolers can be found at several Rec Centers around our community, including our newest partner, Webster Rec Center! And if you are planning ahead, enrollment is already open for most classes. Details within!

Our Mid-Summer Yoga Camp kicked off today and our campers are off to a great start! We have a great week in store with lots of yoga, teamwork, creative art projects, pose workshops and cool mindfulness activities.

Some classes are paused this week because of yoga camp, but Tuesday's 6PM classes are still on, as well as Friday Night Yoga Club.

A beer, a quote, and how it made me smile.

Confession. I'm a yoga teacher and I love craft beers, especially on hot summer days :) Even better are the ones that have great quotes under the cap. That's exactly what I found over the weekend under the cap of a Magic Hat #9.

Helpful breathing tips (and how to do them)

May 20, 2018/ Butterfly Kids Yoga/ Allison Picciano

"Take a deep breath." We've all heard it, said it, or thought it, right? And for good reason. Our breath has SO much power to change the way we feel. It's pretty incredible. Proper breathing is a game changer to improve athletic performance, calm anxiety, and clear our minds. We start every Butterfly Kids Yoga class practicing breathwork and we always use what we learn throughout class. Here are 2 great techniques for you to try at home.
