One of the most challenging yoga poses?

April 29, 2018/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

When 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.

The Yoga Effect

March 25, 2018/ Allison Picciano

They say that if you put in 50%, you get 50% out. Put in 100%? Get 100% out. It's ALL about the effort. But to kids, while this concept sounds good, it really hits home when they experience it. And when kids experience themselves growing, changing, accomplishing new things...it can be a total game changer.

A great quote from a great instructor.

January 14, 2018/ Allison Picciano

I 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.

"Yoga pushes you -- both physically and mentally. Live in that moment. Be proud of yourself. Let it all go."
