Yesterday in Family Yoga for Littles, we explored our breath with feathers! Once we explored the feathers a bit, we added a straw to help regulate our breath!

We always TRY to end in a snuggly relaxation. 💞

Today in Family Yoga for Littles, a mom told me that her 2 (or 3) year old was singing this song that we do in class, at home!

I love when the Littles absorb everything in class, even if they decide not to participate for that song.

Mornings on the Farm at Good Pickin’ Farm was another great activity! Myself (Lauren Young Yoga) & my boys loved having the goats climb on us!

We also got to pet chicken, turkeys, ducks, chicks, & bunnies!

Talk about mindfulness! I don’t think we were paying attention to anything else when we were hanging with the animals!

Throwback to when I taught Yoga for Kids at the Nashua YMCA in 2016! This strong little gymnast popped into crow pose naturally, so I wanted to see if she could get into flying pigeon!

After a few tries, she was up! This is a posture that I am NOT ABLE to do, but I’m able to teach it!

Next time I come across a gymnast, cheerleader, or dancer in my Family Yoga for Bigs class (returning in the fall to the Nashua YMCA, Sundays at 11:45-12:30 pm), we are trying this movement!

Years ago, shortly after my 200 hour yoga teacher training. Enjoying the mountains & the lake at in NH, practicing mindfulness in cobbler pose while holding a mudra.

My 8 year old naturally practicing mindfulness at the beach. 💞

Mindfulness:
1. the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something.
2. a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.
