Kids Favorite: Yoga with Ms. Gena

By Mary Cady Bolin in General on September 23, 2024

Every so often our blog will highlight something that our Fannie Battle children enjoy the most. If you’re a seasoned Fannie Battle parent, you might not be surprised to hear that yoga with Ms. Gena is a favorite activity of our little ones!

Every other week during the school year, our Business Operations Manager Gena Lewis leads our 2, 3, and 4 year-olds in yoga either in our auditorium or outside on the playground. During the summer, Gena expands these class offerings to include school-age children.

Gena says, “Kids yoga is more about play and fun, rather than getting the poses exactly right.” Gena’s peaceful demeanor and love for children helps create a class where students feel supported, encouraged, and safe. Moreover, her approach fits hand in hand with our Conscious Discipline curriculum, and through yoga our children continue to learn to focus on breathwork and emotional regulation.

If you’re wanting to use some of Gena’s music at home, she says her students love these songs:

Thank you, Gena, for sharing your love for yoga with our students!
