The magic of the Talking Stick?

December 13, 2016/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

There is something about purely innocent, straight-from-the-heart moments from kids that makes you stop in your tracks. The Talking Stick. This is the magical piece of each of my classes that pulls out those moments. I first learned of the Talking Stick in my Kidding Around Yoga certification, and I was very much looking forward to seeing it work in my classes. Well, let me tell you...if there was ever a "magical" part of each class, it is when I present the Talking Stick.

This week's studio schedule (and a sweet comment to share)

"Have a great day and remember to breathe...smile...and fly!" is how I like to end my classes. Lots of peaceful, smiley kiddos left the studio last week, which is my hope after every class. But one little yogi made ME smile even bigger when I heard her tell her mom, "Mommy, that was fun and I feel good!" (followed by a quick downward dog to show off her new skills).

That "moment" in the first Butterfly Kids Yoga studio class

When they told me during my yoga certification that I would have that "moment" during class, I believed it, but today...I FELT it.
