My Prescription: Yoga!
If you’ve wondered what parents are concerned about – this may help you focus your classes and advertising – each result could be a class theme or a bullet point on a flyer!

    This is fascinating to me. Obesity is definitely a concern and yoga can help in numerous ways. Recently a study was published showing how yoga mindfulness reduced weight gain. http://yogainmyschool.com/2009/08/19/dont-rush-your-kids-mindful-eating-key-to-maintaining-a-healthy-weight/

    This is also a reason why Ontario, BC & Alberta all have a DPA Requirement for school aged children. It is reaching epidemic proportions and health care workers are justifiably worried about the long term health ramifications.

    Let's help kids out – teach them yoga and healthy living skills from an early age.
