The daily dash from school to soccer practice to dance lessons leaves little time for parents (and kids) to find some calm in their days. But there’s an easy way to slow down and refocus—add yoga to your family’s routine. In addition to yoga’s many benefits for adults, it can help little yogis’ physical health and mental well-being as well as increase their flexibility, strength and coordination and help them relax, focus and boost their self-confidence. If you’re ready to give yoga a try with your kids, scroll down for a list of our favorite places.
