Sharing your practice with family

The benefits of yoga and mindfulness practice are endless, and I feel fortunate to share valuable lessons with my students daily. Yoga helps children develop physical health through beneficial practices throughout their entire lifespan. Practicing mindfulness helps kids, teens, and adults develop confidence, manage stress, regulate their emotions, develop better concentration, and create a more positive outlook on life. 

A yoga and mindfulness practice is beneficial for the whole family! It can be a great way to connect, reflect, and spend quality time together. Ask your child to practice yoga with you or teach you a pose. There are so many ways to practice yoga from home for free, just search up yoga on Youtube and find a video you all will enjoy.

Seeking moments of mindfulness can help to ease stress throughout the day. Model using deep breaths during difficult moments at home, too; not only will you show your child healthy ways to cope, but you will also reap the benefits of mindfulness and notice a more relaxed state of well-being.

There are in-person and even virtual yoga and mindfulness classes all around your city! Especially during the summer months, many parks offer free outdoor classes, too. Take advantage of attending a class with your kids or on your own for self-care.
