Children's Yoga....Doctor Recommended!

Wow! I just got off the phone with a dear friend of mine who has two school aged children. Her little boy has been having pains in his body....growing pains. Do you know what their family doctor recommended??? YOGA! That's right, the ball is rolling, and even more people than ever are starting to see the benefits of yoga for children (and adults). I am over joyed that a medical doctor would take the time to recommend yoga to a family for an issue that can be overcome with yoga posture movenent and relaxation techniques!

Gotta run...time for my yoga!

Namaste

Family Appreciation Day for St. Laurent Little Lotus participant

I sit here looking out onto the sunny deck with lovely fall foliage, a delightful cup of green tea and am enjoying watching the squirrels as they collect food. The weather has been fantastic in Ottawa the last three days, but being November and all its bound to get colder soon.

I wanted to share with all of our Little Lotus participants at the St. Laurent complex that we will be having a Little Lotus appreciation day on Friday December 5th from 6-6:55p.m. Each participant is invited to bring a friend to share in the fun of our class together. Family members, including mom, dad, brothers, sisters, grandparents, etc. are invited to come and join as well! This class is a time for participants to share with their friends and families what they have accomplished and what they are learning as they move forward along their yogic path.

Winter registration is open for our Little Lotus programs offered at the St. Laurent Complex and Rockcliffe Park Recreation centre.

Looking for something fun to do with the fam this weekend? Check out the Rockcliffe Park School book sale this weekend (November 7, 8, 9th) for a fantastic (but overwhelming for book lovers like me!) selection of gently used books. All funds raised go to the Help Lesotho fundraiser.

Namaste
