Mindfulness for Kids (and Adults!)

Have you ever wondered how yoga and meditation can improve your life, or maybe even your kids’ lives? In this episode, we sit down with Jessica Smith, a yoga instructor and mom of three young kids, to discuss how we can teach yoga and meditation to kids, and how it can improve their behavior and self-esteem. We also talk about her experience of deciding to stop distance learning and switch over to homeschooling.
