Dear Toddler Yoga Family,
Thank you so much for bringing your family to Toddler Family
Yoga at Babies in Bloom over these past several years. It has truly been my
privilege and honor to work with you and your family. My family and I have
enjoyed sharing our love of yoga with your family, and we hope that our little
yogic inspiration has made a playful impression on you and your family – you
have definitely been an inspiration to ours. Seeing our little ones grow and
blossom together as beautiful little yogis has taught me so much about love and
play, and I am overwhelmed by the continued blessings learned week after week.
For the past several months my family and I have struggled
with the idea of placing Toddler Family Yoga on hiatus, and we have come to the
tough decision. Toddler Family Yoga is on hiatus for an undetermined amount of
time, and I am so very sorry to say that I am not sure when or if it ever will
return. The final class was this past Saturday since it was the last scheduled
class of the year.

I really have loved teaching this class to your family, and
am so blessed to have had Babies in Bloom support this donation based class for
these past several years. If I could
thank Rochelle every minute of every day for the rest of my life, it wouldn’t
ever be enough. She has been crucial to this program’s success all of these
years. I don’t know if the class will be replaced at Babies in Bloom, but I
will notify you of any updates as soon as we know.
Teaching Toddler Family Yoga has stretched my life experience
in such a way that I am forever grateful, so thank you!!! When I was first
approached by Rochelle at Babies in Bloom to provide a yoga class for the
toddlers, I was nervous and unsure of my own ability to do so. I had never
taught children before, and I never thought of myself as a playful person. I am
so blessed to have been encouraged by Rochelle, and several experienced
children yoga teachers who gave me encouragement. Thank you so much to Kat
Gregory and Erin Noland for their guidance, inspiration, and patience as I
picked their brains creating and shaping the class you know today. These
wonderful teachers still teach throughout the north county, and I encourage you
to visit and play in their wonderful classes.

I am so blessed to have had you and your little one(s) come to
class, and that you came to class with such a beautiful openness to learn and
play together as a family. In Sanskrit there is a word, kula, and that means
“community.” Even though class is on hiatus, I still think of us as a kula and
as such we should stay in touch, if you are so inclined. I will continue to offer Prenatal Yoga through the city of San Marcos Parks and Recreation, and will host our webpage adding more childrens yoga book reviews to it. We will
also continue to share family friendly events, yoga based or not, on our
facebook page. Both are listed at the bottom of this post. Please consider
dropping a note or a message to update us on your family, and be sure to say hi
if we see each other around town.
Thank you for being part of the Toddler Family Yoga kula!
Until we gather together again.
Wishing you and your family a very blessed holiday season!
Namaste,
Lisa and family
