Every year at the end of October, the Yoga Garden community begins to meditate on their Year in a Word. Word that will we will carry forward into the next year, not so much a resolution but a beacon towards which we are always moving. Once our words are chosen Laurel creates these beautiful flags to add to Yoga Garden’s puja.

This year, the youngest of our community were invited to join us in this amazing tradition! I had a great time, helping the students in Yoga Garden Kids Club think about and create their own word flags to add to the wall. I thought it would be super obvious which were the kids’ words but it turns out, it isn’t. These kids were so thoughtful and earnest when it came to their final choices!
The next Kids Club session starts January 26, 2017, each session in 5 weeks long! It is $45 for the full session. Classes are Thursday 4:30-5:15pm at Yoga Garden.
