Benefits of Children’s Yoga
Looking to give your children tools to develop personal insight and awareness? Kids’ yoga embraces the joy of being a kid by providing a safe, fun, and active way to be happy, healthy, and blissful! Through arts and imaginative play, children will explore yoga poses, calming techniques, breathing practices, and guided relaxation to foster creativity and self-esteem. In practicing yoga, children learn to connect with their inner self as they engage in non-competitive physical activity. Yoga provides children with tools to focus their mind by increasing sensitivity and creativity. Yoga at an early age can integrate the benefits of the practice into a powerful art-making experience.

Spring is the Season of Love
When the weather warms up, so does our heart. Why is that? Science of course. Spring is a season of cliches — birds singing, bees buzzing and people falling madly in love. All this love can be blamed on one very real thing – dopamine! Every April your brain unintentionally becomes a dopamine factory, turning you into a love junkie. Dopamine is a naturally occurring chemical your brain uses to make you want things. There are other systems involved in love, but when it comes to new love, dopamine is the main culprit. And with enough of it swirling around your system, you’re prone to fall in love — and fall hard.
