Yoga is a fun way to help kids focus and practice stillness. It teaches them how to self-regulate their emotions and mood, helps them build confidence, and develops body awareness.

Recently, I was asked by some moms to pull together a resource list for kids yoga, so they can practice with their kiddos at home.
