Thursdays, June 11 & 18 | July 2
2-3pm | Ages 5-11 (with parent)

Yoga is a wonderful way to connect with your child, both physically and emotionally, and it can help adults to rediscover our more playful natures. Using games, songs and stories, we'll explore a variety of yoga postures for flexibility, balance and focus. Sue Whitmarsh, a Chelsea resident and registered Yoga instructor, highly recommends Yoga as a way to connect with your child and yourself. Come play the yoga way!
