Storytime yoga class meets Saturday mornings online

Dimitra Yoga offers a storytime yoga class with instructor Stephen Kastner from 8 to 8:30 a.m., Saturdays, via Zoom.

Yoga is a discipline that can lead children on the path toward a calm and balanced mind as well as help them build a strong and flexible body, giving them tools they can use in their everyday lives.

Without realizing it, children are learning techniques to help their bodies become healthier, stronger and more relaxed. It can help children increase strength and flexibility, build self-esteem, learn to find a sense of calmness and self control and more.

Everyone likes storytime. Storytime yoga is like regular story-time but when the tale involves an animal or something else from yoga, participants come into that pose and then jump back to the story.

Kastner holds master’s degrees in community counseling and exercise science and is a 200-hour certified yoga instructor with Dimitra Yoga.

This class is open to everyone and is offered free for the month of May. No prior yoga experience is necessary. For more information and to sign up, go to www.dimitrayoga.com/workshops.
