The kids enjoy the break in their day with yoga movements and poses, which may feel to them like recess, while unbeknownst to them they are educating their minds, bodies and hearts! Sounds like an incredible learning experience.

She marvels at the fact that all she has to do is reach her arms out to indicate the beginning movement to heart center and the kids fall peacefully quiet, following in her pose. One of her little guys who has an energy all of his own enthusiastically runs into the classroom asking if they’ll be doing Down Dog today!
