Fall Into Stillness

When I first started teaching kids yoga, my classes tended to be high energy and full of activity! Rookie mistake. I quickly learned while kids do have a lot of energy to burn off, they need some serious downtime, too. I began to incorporate some restorative poses and I watched the kids melt into stillness. Being a kid is non-stop and tiring. Offering a space for kids to relax outside of just the rest they get in slumber, is so imperative to their physical, emotional and mental health. Through mindfulness practices children build inner and outer awareness, compassion and kindness towards themselves and others, social and emotional skills, as well as relaxation techniques. Good news is we're making one of our most popular adult workshops accessible to kids next month!  Fall is the time to go inside...give your kids the chance to retreat!  We'll explore different meditation practices as well as comfy restorative yoga poses to settle into. Breathe in Fall, breathe out Peace! Registration is open online - www.alluemyoga.com - workshops tab.
