Children and parents explored yoga at Healthy Kids playgroup this week. Yoga is a fun way for children to learn to move their bodies and reduce stress. The group followed a children’s story theme of blasting off in a rocket ship to see the stars and the moon while doing simple yoga poses. A craft activity making a star and the moon on popsicle sticks followed.
