SO
SO WE'VE
SO WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT YOGA CLASSES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FOR YEARS.
WE KNOW THE BENEFITS BUT YOU'D
BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH YOU CAN
HELP YOUR KIDS AND REALLY YOUR
ENTIRE FAMILY.
KATIE PAGE IS NOT SURPRISED
ABOUT THIS.
SHE TEACHES YOGA TO KIDS AND
ENTIRE FAMILIES AND KNOWS
FIRSTHAND THE HUGE IMPACT IT
CAN HAVE.
HERE'S PART OF MY CONVERSATION
WITH HER AND PARENTS.
YOU'LL >> WANT TO LISTEN UP.
KATIE, THANKS FOR TAKING TIME
OUT TODAY.
SO I KNOW YOU WORK WITH
FAMILIES AND KIDS PRIMARILY
WITH YOGA BUT EXPLAIN WHAT IS
THE CONNECTION WITH KIDS IN
YOGA?
SO AT RAMSEUR YES, WE EQUIPMENT
POWER YOUTH AND TEENS AND
CHILDREN AND THEIR AUTHENTIC
VOICE AND THEN THEIR LEADERSHIP
AND CONTRIBUTION TO THEIR
FAMILIES THE COMMUNITY AND THE
WORLD THROUGH THE PRACTICES OF
YOGA AND ALSO RUNNING AND YEAH
WE FIND THAT KIDS YOU KNOW,
THEY LOVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
THEIR BODIES AND THE TOOLS THAT
THEY'RE LEARNING THROUGH THESE
PRACTICES.
SO I WOULD THINK WITH THE
CALMING EFFECT THAT YOGA HAS,
DOES THIS WORK FOR ANXIETY WITH
KIDS?
YES, IT HELPS WITH ONE OF
ACTUALLY OUR FAVORITE STORIES
FROM PRINCESSES.
WE HAD AN EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL
WHO CAME TO ONE OF OUR CLASSES
AND SHE WAS HAVING LOTS OF
ANXIETY AND HAVING TROUBLE
SLEEPING AT NIGHT AND HER
MOTHER LET US KNOW THAT AFTER
ONE CLASS SHE WAS FEELING LESS
ANXIOUS.
SHE WAS ABLE TO GO TO SLEEP AT
NIGHT AND REALLY THAT CAME
THROUGH HER CONNECTING WITH HER
BREATH AND LEARNING THESE TOOLS
THAT WE'RE TEACHING MINDFULLY
THIS AND MEDITATION AND THEN
ALSO JUST GETTING INTO THE BODY
AND BEING ABLE TO CONNECT THE
BREATH TO THE MOVEMENT.
>> IS THERE A BENEFIT TO A
FAMILY DOING YOGA TOGETHER NOT
JUST THE KIDS BUT THE KIDS, THE
PARENTS AND YOU?
>> YES.
YES.
SO IT'S A LOT OF FUN.
WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN AT RUNS
NEST AND THE FAMILIES LOVE
COMING IN AND GETTING TO DO
YOGA TOGETHER.
WE GET TO WORK ON PARTNER
POSES.
IT CREATES A BOND AND A
CONNECTION WITH THE PARENT AND
THE CHILD AND AND YEAH AND
AGAIN IT'S JUST A LOT OF FUN.
>> IT'S PHENOMENAL.
I THINK IT SOUNDS GREAT.
MORE FAMILY SHOULD BE DOING
THIS.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO JOIN YOU.
THANKS KATIE FOR YOUR TIME
TODAY.
SO I TOLD HER IF THIS CALMS
KIDS DOWN, ALL OF MINE ARE
GOING TO SHIP THEM ALL OFF TO
THAT.
YEAH, SHE SAID IT REALLY DOES
WORK THOUGH ESPECIALLY IF IT'S
AN ANXIETY SITUATION.
BUT SHE ALSO SAID IT BONDS
FAMILIES TOGETHER WHEN THEY ALL
DO IT AS A GROUP AND IT'S FUN
AND SHE SHE DOES WHERE THE
FAMILY'S OFF IN LITTLE GROUPS
LIKE YOU KNOW, BE DEAD IN THE
SUN AND THEN DAD AND MOM AND
THEN THE SON, THE DAUGHTER AND
THAT KIND OF THING.
SO THIS IS REALLY COOL BECAUSE
IT WASN'T UNTIL JUST A FEW DAYS
AGO THAT EVEN FOUND OUT THERE
WAS YOGA FOR KIDS.
BUT IMAGINE STARTING TO LEARN
HOW TO DEAL WITH STRESS AT A
YOUNG AGE AND THE BENEFITS IT
COULD HAVE AS AN ADULT BECAUSE
I'M NOW JUST LEARNING ABOUT
YOGA AND PARTICIPATING IN THOSE
ACTIVITIES.
YES.
ACTIVITIES. YES. AND I'M GLAD THOSE TEACHERS ARE
EXPERIENCED AND TRAINED AND
TEACHING YOGA BECAUSE AS I TOLD
YOU EARLIER THIS WEEK, I HAVE
ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO TEACH SMALL
CHILDREN JUST STRETCHING AND
YOGA POSES AND IT DID NOT GO
VERY WELL.
SO I'M SURE THAT THEY KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING
UNLIKE ME JUST BE A TREAT LIKE
I AM OUT HERE.
I FEEL LIKE I'M DONE WITH THE
TREES.
YOU GOT TO BE ONE WITH THE
BEES.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK.
I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DRAMATIC
BUT I DO THINK I GOT STUNG LIKE
NOT FIVE SECONDS AFTER WE CAME
BACK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
HAPPENED.
YEAH.
HAPPENED. YEAH. WHAT WAS GOING ON.
YEAH, WE SAW THE LOOK WHEN THE
BEE FLEW RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE
LYDDON INDEED I'M GOING TO GO
>> WELL I'M NOT ALLERGIC SO
WE'RE GOOD BUT YEAH IT'S NOT
COMFORTABLE PRACTICE YOU GO GO
YOUR ANXIETY WILL DROP DOWN
YESTSERDAY THERE SHE GOES.
THERE SHE GOES.
IF YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH BY
THE WAY WITH KATIE PAGE IT'S
CALLED RIN'S NEST LIKE THE BIRD
BERWARI IN THE NEST.
THEY'RE LOCATED IN BURLINGTON.
IT WILL HAVE ALL THAT
INFORMATION AT WFMYNEWS2 RIGHT
AFTER THE SHOW.
YOU KNOW, I WAS REALLY EXCITED
TO BE OUTSIDE BUT I'M DONE WITH
THE ELEMENTS.
IT'S A LOT OF WAYS I COME BACK
IN.
I NEED CAPACIETY BECAUSE A LOT
OF THINGS GOING ON OUT THIS
OTHER TEAM ARE PROS AT THIS.
I DON'T BELONG OUT HERE.
NOT TOUGH ENOUGH BUDDY.
I'LL SEE YOU ON A SEC.
THERE WAS ONE DAY SOME GUY CAME
UP TO THE FENCE UP THERE, THREW
