Yoga for Back-To-School Anxiety or Exhaustion (thekidsyogaresource.com)

Back to school can be exhausting. Kids are stretching their minds and attention spans. Not to mention figuring out how to sit still for hours on end! The September transition can be overwhelming for multi-tasking parents trying weave work demands around their kids' needs (read - no time to stop and reflect on how either parent or child is really doing).

Why not wiggle two minutes out of your day to stand tall as a tree and breathe? Roll up some blankets, lay on a mat and close your eyes for a few minutes? Even if you and your kids only do this a few times a week, it can make a difference in your overall ability to handle transition times. Below are some simple yoga-inspired movements for after school, or on the weekend.
