Featured Weekly Yoga Pose
Boat Pose - Come to sitting with a tall spine and your legs bent. Lean back slightly, take your arms straight out parallel in front of you, balance on your buttocks, and lift your straightened legs to 45 degree angle in front of you. Keep a tall spine and tighten your belly.

You could pretend to be: a boat, ship, canoe, kayak, bowl, valley, or nest

Benefits: Strengthens the abdomen and spine, invigorates the body, helps relieve stress, improves digestion and helps build stamina.

A California State University study found that yoga not only improved classroom performance, but it also helped improve the children's sense of self-worth and self-esteem.

Featured Weekly Yoga Pose
Butterfly - Come to sitting, with your spine straight and your legs out in front of you. Then bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall out to either side. From here, you can wrap your hands around your ankles and gently drop your knees towards the ground (don’t force them, though) to open up your hips and groin. Open your chest and sit up tall.
Stay here or take in a deep inhale, and then on an exhale, slowly lean forwards, keeping your spine straight. Go as far as feels comfortable, ensuring the integrity of your spine.
Stay in the pose for a few breaths or a few minutes. To come out of the pose, bring your knees together then stretch them out in front of you.
