Good morning everyone. I hope you had a wonderful, long weekend and are ready to “get back at it” this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical Activity<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that research tells us that if you\u2019re not active when you\u2019re young, you are more likely to become an inactive adult? When you\u2019re older, being inactive puts you at a higher risk of developing life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and cancer. This is why it’s important to exercise and keep yourself fit and healthy starting at a young age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s yoga, the Sun A-B-C flow<\/a>, from the Kids Work It Out program starts with breath as a foundation, then carries it through three separate yoga flows meant to strengthen and ignite body, spirit, and mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
