Avon Photos of the Day: Kids Yoga Tales at Messy Smocks

Instructor Liz Bohmier fuses yoga with storytelling, music and games in her new class at Avon Village Marketplace.

Yoga is more than an exercise class limited to adults.

Just ask Liz Bohmier who leads her new Yoga Tales class Thursdays at Messy Smocks in Avon Village Marketplace. About five kids attended her second class of the six-week session on Jan. 31.

The class for 2- to 6-year-olds incorporates music, games and storytelling, according to a flyer about the program. Students also partake in a "yoga story" told through the various poses they learn, the flyer states.

The poses and breathing exercises Bohmier teaches also serve to improve children's concentration and confidence and relax them mentally and physically, according to the flyer.
