At You Served, our staff tries to keep an eye out for things that military families might find useful.
We recently met one of the creators of a unique parenting program and wanted to share a little about this resource. It seems well-suited for military families who are “on the go” or often relocating.
The program is called Yoga Parenting, and it basically applies the traditional eight elements of yoga to daily parenting. The motto “MORE JOY, LESS STRESS” definitely applies.
Testimonials from satisfied parents continue to mount and the program was also featured in St. Louis Kids’ Magazine (video).
Yoga Parenting provides parents with resources, tools and habits rooted in the power and control of yoga. Participants gain the benefits of this 2,500-year-old way of life without having to do the poses and contortions one usually associates with yoga.
Yoga Parenting originated in a health center classroom. In the last year, the program’s creators have brought the class to the web, allowing parents across the country to sign up and take the eight-lesson course online at their own pace.
If you want to try the program, purchase it here.
