This class has evolved in the most incredibly fun way. I started off with a few superhero poses, and it ended up that we went to superhero school to learn to become superheroes. It has evolved as a Superhero School kids yoga class. The kids have been LOVING it.

Self Care 101: Get the Endorphins Flowing: When I was given the go ahead from my doctor, I completed a 30 day challenge that my friend Rebecca was leading.

It got me mentally prepared for my day, sent much needed endorphins flowing through my body & helped me shed a few of the pregnancy pounds that I certainly didn’t need. Last… Read More »
