"Let's hear it for the boys!" (Plus this week's schedule)

Gorilla pose. Superhero pose. Lion pose. Warrior I, II, and III showing our BIG muscles. Not only are these really fun poses, but they are SUPER popular among the boys of Butterfly Kids Yoga. And oh boy, on Saturday, we had the studio rumbling with lion roars, gorilla noises and muscle flexing! And I might have thrown in Everything is Awesome!! tunes from the Lego movie. I have to give a shout out to my very first class with ALL boys ("except for you, Miss Ali!" they reminded me). I kept up as best as I could :)

My Mother's Day yoga "moment"

My Mother's Day yoga "moment"

Going into this weekend, I knew that I wanted to make each class, each event, and each interaction particularly special for families because it wasn't just any weekend...it was Mother's Day weekend. And on Sunday morning, I was proud to lead a special Mom + Kids Yoga class at Lululemon. I wanted this particular class to be extra special and memorable for each and every person who came...they were starting off their Mother's Day morning with Butterfly Kids Yoga and that meant a lot to me! Little did I know that when I planned out my class, it would end up being an emotional class for ME too...

And the winner is...! (Plus this week's class schedule)

Thank you to everyone who participated in Butterfly Kids Yoga's celebration of Kids Yoga Day this week! This week's classes were super fun as we learned a great 5-minute sequence (to share at home too!) and this weekend I was proud to share the benefits of kids yoga + a class demo at the 2017 Toddlers & Tykes conference. I am proud and feel very lucky to be involved in an activity for kids that helps them be active, be mindful, and have fun along the way.
