Casey’s Comments
I love this challenge, anything that involves movement for kids is good! What do you think? I have heard about Christians who were against’ yoga, as they thought it conflicted with their religion, was refreshed to see this, yet another spin on yoga and movement.. To me yoga is all good, for everyone, regardless of race, sex, age, creed or religion. Different strokes for different folks. Share your thoughts in the comments below. 😉
Namaste and Play
