Japan this week; Mexico tomorrow…where will they go and what will they cook? Join the class and see!  Yoga Tales – Our own Jessica Ortega will lead the class in children’s yoga and movement with a “twist” – movement and yoga experiences based on stories! Balance, coordination, flexibility, focus, creativity and self-esteem – all these qualities grow as children stretch their bodies and their imaginations!
