GETTING READY FOR FALL...

Yes, I am sorry to say that it is time (for me) to start thinking ahead to fall. *sniff*

I am one of those rare women who loves being home with my kids all summer, so with TWO out of 3 headed to full-day school this year, it will be bittersweet. Better keep busy :-)

I am currently working on my fall schedule of yoga, art and cooking classes. If there is anything you would like to see (if your child wants to attend a certain class but you would like to see it happen on a particular day), now is the time to speak up! Email me and let me know what days and times work for you!

What people are saying...

Molly B. says..."My 2 1/2 year old just finished up a 6 week session of fun, yoga, art and play! He had such a great time, and actually learned some poses: dog, butterfly, tree, and cat! We can't wait for the next session, thank you Mandy!"



Brenda D. says..."The kids enjoyed your class!! They really liked the music and J said he was very relaxed after Yoga. For him to be relaxed is a feat in itself. Kudos to you!!! We noticed that the next morning J seemed very relaxed. You might have to move in with us if Yoga calms him down!!!! :-)"



Lisa says..."[The yoga class] was GREAT! The kids had so much fun and there wasn’t a time when little girl laughter didn’t fill the air. "



Susan M. says..."Mandy’s engaging personality makes EVERY child feel special and welcome. She has an incredible talent for interacting with young children and finds interesting ways to make learning fun. Her ability to let children explore alternative ways of doing things makes creativity flow beyond normal boundaries. Her prices are more than reasonable and you can tell she does it for the LOVE of it as well.”



Beverly L. says...“[Mandy] brings a smile to every face as she walks in the door with her mats, games and positive energy. The children love her and they love their time spent turning and twisting into pretzels, animals and inanimate objects as Mandy teaches them that yoga is healthy and fun.”
