Cara Calibaba helps us to strengthen our physical and mental flexibility with a selection of yoga and mindfulness practices that are attuned to our needs. She makes these practices relatable (and achievable) for kids and adults alike, and the noticeable progress we have made together inspires us to continue with these practices at home. She makes yoga and mindfulness fun with engaging activities that are completely energizing and full of life. Being in the yoga studio or online with Cara is always the highlight of our day, and we are very grateful for the knowledge and experience that she continues to share with us. -Shannon (Home Learning Parent)-
