February invites us to slow down, soften, and reconnect—both with our bodies and with one another. At Llamaste Family Yoga, this month holds special meaning as we honor Black History Month, celebrate love and connection for Valentine’s and continue nurturing mindful movement for the whole family. Here are five heart-centered ways to practice yoga together this February, weaving in reflection, appreciation, and togetherness.

December brings a beautiful blend of cozy winter moments, sparkling lights, and holiday excitement—but it can also feel a little overwhelming. With full calendars, colder weather, and the rush of year-end energy, staying grounded becomes essential. Your yoga mat can be the perfect sanctuary to reset, refocus, and reconnect with yourself during this magical season.

As we move into November, gratitude becomes a beautiful theme—both on and off the mat. Yoga offers us a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate the simple blessings in each moment. Here are **five poses** to help you open your heart, quiet the mind, and flow with thankfulness.

September is here, and with it comes the energy of a fresh school year. Between new schedules, homework, and after-school activities, kids and tweens can sometimes feel overwhelmed. Yoga is a wonderful tool to help them balance it all—building focus, calm, and confidence while keeping their bodies active and strong.

Through touch, breath, and movement, family yoga opens up non-verbal channels of communication. Partner poses encourage cooperation and connection. Guided breathing or simple eye-gazing games invite families to slow down, look inward, and look at one another with intention. These gentle practices can improve empathy and patience at home.
