Hello, Old Friend
By Brent Laffoon on Apr 15, 2018
To all the people out there who either used to practice yoga and loved it but for one reason or another fell out of practice, or the people who have always wanted to start a yoga practice but for whatever reason have never made the time or have felt too intimidated to start, this practice is for you. Once you acquaint (or re-acquaint) yourself with the practice, you come to realize that Yoga is an old friend who it's always good to spend some time with no matter how long it's been. Enjoy!

Breathe as You Move
By Ally Hamilton on Apr 7, 2017
Our second session in the Kids' Yoga course. One of the main concepts when we practice yoga is that we inhale when we expand, and exhale when we contract. We play with that idea throughout this practice, which includes sun salutes, warrior 3, backbends, and hip and hamstring openers. Your little is going to feel really good after this!
