I am spotlighting two Rec Center programs in our area and the Butterfly Kids Yoga classes that are offered at each. A great option for preschool yoga! We meet once a week and the kids love seeing their friends and having fun with active, music-filled Butterfly Kids Yoga classes. There are a few new sessions coming up, so check them out!

Peace begins with me

Tonight's blog is dedicated to "peace". The idea of being kind, calm, mindful and thoughtful to one another. We weave this concept into each and every class class by using a few simple (but effective) ways to talk about -- and practice -- peace. Tonight I'd like to share with you just two of the ways that we practice peace in our classes.

Spotlight on yoga for 3 - 5 year olds

September 03, 2017/ Butterfly Kids Yoga @ East Side Wellness Center/ Allison Picciano

As a children's yoga instructor, I love the differences that each age group offers. From my 8-12 year olds, to my 5-8 year olds, to my 3-5 year olds, I enjoy making each class unique and age-appropriate. For the 3-5 year olds (preschoolers), I love how they are small in size, but BIG in energy, imagination, and wide-eyed wonder. And I'm often asked how it's possible to teach yoga to such a young age. Do they really do it? The answer is YES! And this fall, there are 3 class options to get your preschooler involved in yoga!

Ninja yoga? Oh yes.

August 27, 2017/ Allison Picciano

When I tell people that yoga birthday parties can be customized to any theme, they get really excited! After all, how cool is it to have a Princess Yoga party? Or a Rainbow and Tie Dye Yoga party? Or a cute Dinosaur Yoga party? Or a sweet Butterfly Yoga party? I love being able to create a special experience and make it memorable for everyone. Well this past week, I had a first...a NINJA yoga birthday party. Yes! Ninjas, yoga, and a great birthday party all go really well together :)

Announcing the Fall 2017 Schedule!

August 17, 2017/ Allison Picciano

The fall schedule is here! I'm very excited to be spreading Butterfly Kids Yoga to new locations, offering new classes, and bringing kids yoga to more families in our amazing community. Yoga is a fun way to be active with friends and it's a great compliment to sports, school, extracurricular activities. It's all about the balance of "yoga active" and "yoga calm" for our kiddos!

I'm excited to announce details on the following classes for Fall 2017...
