By Shelby (age 10)<\/h3>\n

I tried Zooga Yoga<\/strong><\/a> and I LOVE <\/i>it!!! My mom says that I\u2019m too stressed out with school and need to learn to relax…yoga is\u00a0so relaxing! First our teacher, Megan, told us all to tell her something good and bad that happened or is going to happen. She called it \u201crose and thorn.\u201d Then we did some poses. The two I like the most so far are\u00a0the \u201cTree Pose\u201d and \u201cChild\u2019s Pose.\u201d Near the end of class, Megan told us to lay down on our mats. Then, she put lavender pillows over our eyes, played some\u00a0music, and sprayed grape-scented spray over us. I walked out of there ready for bed. I slept so well that night, something\u00a0that is usually a bit difficult\u00a0for me!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so thankful my mom found this class and I really look forward to returning! I strongly recommend it!<\/p>\n

By Jonna (mom)<\/h3>\n

My 5th<\/sup><\/span> grade daughter is stressed out most\u00a0of the time…between school, friends, hormones, parents, her younger sister, etc., she seems to get quite wound up, unable to focus, and almost depressed sometimes. My girlfriend (her Godmother) suggested yoga so she can learn some tools to relax on her own. So after some research, I\u00a0found Zooga Yoga<\/b><\/a> and decided to go there (regardless of the drive) because it had\u00a0such great reviews. Also, they were so nice and understanding on the phone.<\/p>\n

I was convinced my daughter wouldn\u2019t like it, especially because\u00a0she begged not to go. However, she loved it! We have been\u00a0a handful of times and I can truly say I see a more relaxed child. Even when I mention the word “yoga,” she seems to drop her shoulders and breathe deeply\u2026<\/p>\n
