Nature Based Yoga

July 19th, 2010 | Author: Shannon

(Video clip of Storytime Yoga)

I am offering classes for children 3-5 and 5-7 at All That Matter’s in Wakefield, RI starting September. Come over and loosen up! Or email me with yoga in the subject line and I can send you a complete listing my yoga classes.

On Saturday I attended a wonderful yoga class in a South Kingstown playground… the setting was awesome. Warming up on the dew covered grass was soothing and cooling to my body then, the sun rose above the pine trees just in time for us to offer Sun Salutations of gratitude. Our bodies warmed from the external heat from the sun and the internal heat of giving time for our inner light to shine.

Family Yoga is a wonderful option for a delightful outdoor activity.

Enjoy! ~ The Backyard Mama
