NOW goes
'yoga' for kids
PLAINFIELD — Northeast Opportunities for Wellness, Inc. (NOW) recently partnered with The Yoga Farm in Central Village to offer a free Yoga clinic. More than 20 children, ages 3 to 13, learned a variety of yoga skills . The clinic was the final of a series of free winter and spring events hosted by NOW designed to introduce sports and wellness activities to children in the 10-town area of northeastern Connecticut.
A signature element of all NOW clinics is additional skill stations run by NOW staff, focused on nutrition and fitness. NOW Program Coordinator Lindsay Lussier led participants through an agility obstacle course station, and NOW staff Tayler Shea and Alexandra Billings taught children the importance of a balanced diet with the NOW “My Plate” nutrition station. Children were also offered a healthy snack of clementines or raisins during the nutrition station.
