A great yoga article from Beacon Hill Patch: Stretch Your Way Through the Back-to-School Transition

It’s that time of year again: back to school.

When I was young, yoga wasn’t part of my life at all, nor was it provided in my elementary or high school.

It was the first time Kelly and her three-year-old daughter Zoemi were able to enjoy a Stretch Your Imagination family yoga session on the beautiful museum grounds. “I like the opportunity to play together,” Kelly said of family yoga. “We surprise each other at what we’re capable of–like she has better balance than I thought.

When asked what her favorite family yoga pose/activity was, Zoemi replied, “Everything!”

The kiddos are back to school, so enjoy some Back to School Yoga ABCs from Yoga In My School!

And remember Stretch will be at the Contemporary Museum tomorrow (Saturday, August 27) morning from 10:30–11:45am! Come start your weekend off right with some fun family yoga!
