Friday: Play!—Yoga

This week we started using the Yoga Mats and DVD that Santa brought each member of the family for Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is something I have felt a strong need to start with my soon to be three year old, she can be extremely anxious at times and I know this will help her.

Yoga can be a fantastic family activity, a wonderful thing to do for playtime and can be a good example of the importance of exercise to your children.

 

  The following list of the beneifts of yoga are from White Mountain Yoga, which will be hosting a fabulous giveaway on our site this weekend.
