Yoga & adventure games….

I’m loving it that Alice is offering these classes for kids – seems it gives young ones a chance to get in touch with their “inner kid” in the best of ways. Here’s the details for her yoga class & her adventure games classes:

Yoga Calm is an award-winning, K-12 wellness curriculum used by thousands of educators and therapists. It integrates simple yoga-based activities, mindfulness exercises and social/emotional skills-building games that help children improve their focus, learning readiness, behavioral skills, physical health and emotional stability. Developed from over 30 years of classroom, counseling and clinical experience, it works for a wide range of students, including those with severe behavior disorders.

Educating children today requires a new approach — one that effectively meets the physical, mental, and emotional needs of children and the adults who work with them, including parents, teachers, counselors, nurses and therapists. New research shows what we have intuitively known for years: that reducing students’ stress, developing their social/emotional skills, and enhancing their sense of well-being can benefit not only their health but their academic performance.
