Kids Yoga - more details

Thanks to numerous inquiries, nudges, and support from many of you
moms, I am in the process of developing a kids' yoga curriculum. The
first opportunity for the little yogis to Stretch with Gretch is going
to be a combined yoga and art camp at Oil and Cotton:

Ages 6-10
June 27-30
9:00 - 11:00 AM
$120

I have plans in place to start a couple of after school classes in the
fall focusing on elementary age children. If there is enough interest
in the teenage and/or preschool ages, I'll consider expanding. Just
let me know.

Children reap the same benefits from yoga as adults. Maybe even more
so given the hectic world they are growing up in compared to our 60s,
70s, and 80s. Here is a brief article describing some of the benefits.

Kids yoga

When I started my yoga journey (I know, cliche to say journey, but truly it has been) I knew I would some day work with children. At last the day has come. I'm a grab bag of emotions: excited, nervous, eager, terrified. You name it, I'm feeling it.

So when can the kiddos Stretch with Gretch?
