Holistic Health & Wellness SE, LLC now offers Mommy & Me Yoga classes on Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. Sessions combine healthy workout routines with best practices aimed at helping children develop resilience. According to research, educating young people about physical skills like yoga or relaxation methods like mindfulness can improve their performance in the classroom and in other social settings.

The classes are age-appropriate, fitness-based and fun and are available for kids ranging in age from 6 to young teen years. Holistic Health & Wellness also offers a variety of courses throughout the week for all levels.

According to the Mental Health Foundation, 57 percent of young people have felt stressed related to fear of making mistakes, 29 percent of young people said they had self-harmed because of high stress levels and 39 percent said they had experienced suicidal feelings because of stress. While some stress is normal, some kids don’t know how best to let it go.

“So many people think yoga isn’t for them and that’s largely because of how it’s often portrayed. We want to find ways to reach the groups that don’t think yoga is for them—because it could be,” says Dawn Brunson, CEO of Holistic Health & Wellness.

New students who drop in to the studio receive 50 percent off yoga classes and those who pay online can receive one free class.
