June 2007 Testimonial from the Halton Girls Talk Program
I just wanted to send you a bit of feedback from the Girls Talk program – the girls fill out a post-survey about what they have learned/liked etc. This was from one of the groups you facilitated a yoga session at and I thought I would share it with you. The Girls LOVE it and thanks so much for all your involvement in this program and for teaching these girls about yoga!!!! We will be sure to connect with you again in the summer or early fall when the program starts up again! If you developed some coping strategies that seem to work for you, please list them: - Yoga, reading, writing, talking - Yoga and taking a break - Healthy eating and yoga - Yoga, talking about it, singing and doing something I enjoy |

...In Burlington, there's a wide range of fun programs and opportunities for non-competitive physical fitness. Yoga, one of the hottest adult fitness options, is catching on with the younger set. Danielle Ingram, owner of Balafon Yoga, believes yoga is wonderful for kids who have minimal or negative experiences with physical activity. "The only competition is with yourself; no one else can pass judgment on your poses." Yoga also teaches relaxation, patience, mindfulness, and trust in oneself, adds Ingram
