Kids Yoga

The kids’ yoga program relies on storytelling to teach valuable lessons on physical, mental, and spiritual health. “Yoga, in essence, is exercise for our bodies, our minds, and our breath. So, we’re working on everything, but that’s hidden in a fun story, Williams said. Storytelling encourages creative expression, a healthy outlet to express emotions, and makes learning fun. Williams continues, “We can be creative through stories. We can use our imaginations and come up with all sorts of things.”
