Happy New Year’s From Full Circle Yoga KC!

December 2017 went out with a bang with 10 babies being born! Congratulations to each of you Mamas who delivered little bundles of joy in 2017 and welcome to Motherhood! January 2018 is starting off with an exciting number of new Mamas finding Full Circle Yoga KC.

Full Circle Yoga KC is coming up on its one year anniversary! I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since I started this journey. There are so many journeys we go through in life, some planned some unexpected. I try to embrace each one as they come. You all have been my inspiration this past year as I met you and heard your stories. I hold your stories with care and deep appreciation. You’ve inspired me to become a better yoga instructor, to be a better listener, to continue to find a balance of relaxation and challenge in our yoga classes. You even inspire me to run longer as my inner voice says “hey, you tell your Mamas they can do anything for a minute, you can run for one more minute.” Thank you.

I’m so excited to start a Mama’s Corner starting on the every third Wednesday of every month. Our first gathering will be February 21^st. We will have BYOB at 9:00 am (PLEASE NOTE CHANGE FROM NORMAL TIME), followed by a time to connect with other Mama’s. It’s an opportunity to share tricks of the trade as well as the bumps in the road of motherhood and build community as we share in the most rewarding yet most challenging job ever! Snacks will be provided. Class is $5.00, please register online.

Here’s what happening in January:

Yoga For Kids: Reduce Stress

September 22, 2017 by Full Circle KC

Yoga for Kids….it’s just simple fun while getting all the benefits at the same time! When kids practice yoga it allows them to learn life long healthy habits of tapping into their body, mind, and especially breath.

Yoga For Kids

Yoga teaches kids how to find calmness, focus, balance and relax the body. Stress impacts us both emotionally and physically. When children have the outlet of yoga it can reduce stress through movement and focusing our thoughts and breath. It’s a coping mechanism that teaches mindfulness. While yoga can reduce stress, it has many more benefits such as helping kids build body awareness, promote fitness in a non-physical or non-competitive environment.

Kids yoga helps navigate life’s challenges with a little more ease!

What fun I had last week to lead Groovy Kids Yoga with a bunch of smart, creative, and determined little yogi’s! I started off the class with these questions:

1. Who has done kids yoga before?

Brilliant Answers: Everyone raised their hand. I was happy to see that they had all had some experience in practicing yoga. Bringing yoga to children is going to support the next generation in supporting their ability to ground down, appreciate community, and be healthy.

2. Why is yoga good for you?

Brilliant Answers:
1. 4.5 year old- It makes you strong (as the arms were flexed when telling me this).
2. 6 year old- It helps you be flexible.
3. 10 year old- helps your muscles build strength
Yes, those are all correct!
