    They shed light on the gratitude practices implemented in their households and classrooms, aimed at helping children acknowledge and appreciate the abundance of blessings that surround them on a daily basis

    As yoga teachers, classroom teachers, and moms, Kelly and Kristi feel a strong sense of responsibility toward raising children who are grateful. (Don't we all?) They embrace the concept of Aparigraha⁠⁠, a Sanskrit ⁠term that signifies "greedlessness" and "gratitude," a fundamental principle in yoga. However, expressing gratitude goes beyond mere words like "Thank you." The true aim is to foster and ignite sincere appreciation towards the individuals and circumstances that enable us to embrace our identity and cherish our blessings.

  • In this episode of Mindful Conversation with KAY, Kelly & Kristi continue the conversation about physical responses to emotions with a re-release of Episode 31: Somatic Work.

    Our bodies have evolved with a primal response system to perceived threats, known as the fight, flight, or freeze response. This response is a natural survival mechanism that activates when we encounter danger or stress — whether we choose it or not! By exploring the fight, flight, or freeze response, we can better understand and regulate our emotional experiences.

    Somatic work is an approach that recognizes the mind-body connection and focuses on integrating physical experiences to release emotions. By paying attention to bodily sensations, we can gain insight into our emotional experiences and initiate healing from within.

    Tune in as Kelly and Kristi dig into this fascinating topic by exploring questions like:

    What, exactly, is somatic experiencing?

    How can we use physical movements to get mentally/emotionally “unstuck”?

    How can we instill mindful awareness of physical cues in children?

    How do we become 'Body Detectives'?

    How can we integrate somatic work into our Kids Yoga and Mindfulness classes?

    Healing begins within the body, and by cultivating mindfulness and exploring somatic work, we can embark on a transformative journey toward emotional well-being. Join us!

    This episode is part of a series. Be sure to tune in all month for thoughtful conversations about physical responses to feelings and emotions and helpful ways to manage and process them for both adults and children.

  • “When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it's our job to share our calm, not join their chaos.” ~L.R. Knost

    From the moment they’re born, children need safe, consistent, and responsive relationships with the adults around them. Most often, the primary relationship is with a parent, however other adults, such as grandparents and teachers, play a crucial role in a child's overall development and well-being.

    Through stable relationships with caring adults, children are able to develop a sense of trust and safety in the world around them. They learn to regulate their emotions, foster positive relationships with others, and develop a strong sense of self.

    In this week's episode of Mindful Conversations with KAY, Kelly & Kristi continue the conversation about mindful relationships with a focus on adult-child relationships.

    Tune in as Kelly & Kristi dive deeper into the topic, including:

    practicing mindfulness in our reactions

    how behavior is most often a communication of a need

    the importance of co-regulation to support children during challenging moments at home and in the classroom

  • If you think back over the course of your life, you can probably name different friends from different periods of your life. You may even have certain friends that you rarely see but, when you do, it seems like no time has passed at all. And, if you're lucky, you are still in contact with a childhood best friend. Through school, sports, our neighborhoods, and more, we'll cross paths with many people and these people will have a tremendous impact on our wellbeing. This week, we continue our series on relationships with a focus on another influential relationship: friendships.

    Friendships are an important part of childhood and growing up. They build a child’s sense of belonging and significance in their world, make a child feel cared for and cared about, and in turn teach them how to care for others. Healthy friendships play a key role in a child’s emotional growth and their development of important life skills.

    Tune in this week as Kelly & Kristi discuss the importance of connecting with others and how we can support and nurture meaningful friendships for our children, such as:

    Exploring new interests through friendships

    Exposing children to different people through different activities

    Accepting that friendships ebb and flow and using that space to create new relationships

    Encouraging children to make in person connections with the prevalence of text messaging and electronics

    Helping children understand what a good friendship looks and feels like in themselves and others

  • This week, we kick off a new series on relationships and the role of mindfulness in relationships. Kelly and Kristi begin the conversation with the most important relationship: the one we have with ourselves.

    Self-connection means knowing and accepting who you truly are, including strengths and weaknesses. It's about being in tune with your emotions and thoughts without judgment. It means developing self-compassion, self-acceptance and allowing growth. Young or old, having a deep relationship with oneself is vital to a balanced and fulfilling life.

    Tune in this week as Kelly & Kristi share their personal experiences with self-connection and offer suggestions including:

    Encouraging children to be curious and try new things

    Giving children the space to make choices, and mistakes

  • The start of kindergarten is a major milestone in the lives of young children, maybe the biggest one!
