Yoga Classes That Will Make Your Family Say, “Namaste”
Being a parent is a beautiful thing.
It’s fun, stressful, exciting, exhausting, and can often feel all-encompassing. As a parent, my mind is filled with thoughts of after-school activities, never-ending grocery lists, and wondering if the laundry will ever get done.
The stress of parenthood can often overshadow the joy. Finding a way to relax is key to bringing the fun back to the forefront. For me, yoga classes are my extracurricular activity answer.
We’re in luck as Kalamazoo has a number of options to roll out the mat for an energizing and mindful class any day of the week.
