The philosophy of teaching yoga to children provides kids with a variety of yoga tools that they can take away from class and use throughout their lives. Animals, nature and other objects come alive in this class; as we move, we learn to stretch our bodies in new creative ways. Through yoga poses, games, activities, music and stories, we promote strength, flexibility, coordination, and body awareness. Breathing and visualization techniques teach focus, relaxation and self-control. This class promotes inner-strength, confidence and self-esteem; a feeling of well-being and respect for others; and, love for one's self, inside and out. Studio will provide mat for class. Non-heated

The Alabama Poppy Project is a moving tribute honoring the memory of Captain Kyle Steven Hansen (USAF) and all those who have served our country. Created in 2020 by artist and potter Julianne Hansen as a creative and therapeutic response to grief, the project features thousands of hand-crafted ceramic poppies displayed as a symbol of remembrance, sacrifice, and healing. Since its beginning, the exhibit has grown from 1,001 poppies to more than 2,000 for this year’s display, drawing visitors from across the region to reflect and pay tribute. Displayed annually around Memorial Day, the Alabama Poppy Project serves as a powerful visual reminder of honor, service, and community remembrance. During evening hours, a visual video display can also accompany the exhibit, sharing the story of the memorial poppy, its origins, and photos of those being honored through sponsored poppies. Those wishing to honor a loved one with a Memorial Poppy, please visit Welcome to the Alabama Poppy Project | AlabamaPoppyProject.com.   Parking is $5 per car and $30 per vehicle with three or more axles.
