  • “With spring around the corner and winter soon to be a distant memory, it is the perfect time to think about spring cleaning and new beginnings – not just in your space, but in your mind. Each season serves its purpose, with winter being the time of darkness, death, and rest before the new awakening and energetic rebirth of spring. As we move into spring, we feel ready to spark our energy, clear our minds, and welcome new beginnings. No matter how you  refresh, you will want to make sure you clear your mind and take time to meditate, ground, and spring clean.”

  • “Yoga can provide a long list of benefits for young folks. On an emotional level, sharing the practice with kids helps their coping skills, and emotional regulation reinforces positive behavior and reduces anxiety. From a physical perspective, they learn body awareness, harness their strength and flexibility, and cultivate better sleep. Particularly helpful skills to learn while in school include training fine motor skills, improving social relationships, lengthening attention span, and unlearning perfection.”
