Congratulations to all the awesome kids & parents who completed the YoKid Challenge this past weekend. It was a tall order to take on all those sun salutations: you are all yoga super-stars! Also a giant thanks to all our sponsors, community partners, and volunteers who donated their time and supplies to create this day for kids to celebrate healthy living with yoga!
*******************************************************************************
What is the YoKid Yoga Challenge?
108 sun salutations for the whole family! The YoKid Yoga Challenge invites friends, family, community members, and all who have participated in the YoKid Yoga program, to enjoy a day dedicated to having a healthy mind and body!
The fun begins with a vision & goal setting exercise by lululemon athletica, followed by 108 Sun Salutations (performed in 4 sets of 27 with rest periods in between). Afterwards, participants enjoy light snacks & learn about how eating nutritious foods can be fun with a healthy eating presentation by holistic health coach and owner of the Regal Fig Company Beth Donnelly. Find out more about Beth and “clean food” here.
