YOGA STUDIO FOR KIDS…NEW MIXED MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAM

HERE’S THE SCOOP…


YOGA STUDIO FOR KIDS TO OPEN IN GLEN LOCHEN


There is an incredible new space for children opening in Glen Lochen. The Dreaming Tree Children’s Yoga & Mindfulness Studio, owned by Glastonbury-resident, Emily Keel, will open on the second floor this Spring. The idea started…well…with a dream and blossomed into reality for Emily. She currently teaches elementary school students and noticed a need. So, she started an after-school yoga program and the response was overwhelming. Her new business will include yoga and mindfulness classes for kids of all levels, including those with ADHD and Autism. Summer camps will be offered as well with creative theme’s, such as Life’s An Adventure, Gratitude, and Girl Empowerment. Check out her website HERE or email Emily (thedreamingtreellc@gmail.com) for info and pricing.



MIXED MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAM NEW TO TOWN


F.I.T.E. Fit (Fun Inspired Training Experience) is a 12-week training program at Against All Odds Fitness Studio on New London Turnpike that teaches participants self defense using mixed martial arts. It was developed by Julian Rivera, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and fierce competitor in Martial Arts. If you want to get in shape, learn self-defense, or maybe just toughen up, this new program will be held Saturdays and Sundays and includes a nutritional plan. There is an open house next Sunday, February 17th from 12:00 to 4:00 PM. Find more info HERE.

ODDS AND ENDS…


*Do you know about the sports app SI Play? Well, we didn’t! So, we’re a little in the dark, but we were super excited to hear about it while watching kids basketball this weekend. It’s an app that integrates all of your kids’ sports schedules into one location. Anything that helps us get more organized is a win! Search for SI Play and look for the app icon below.



*The Welles-Turner Library will hold their annual Kids’ Book Sale Saturday February 23rd from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM in the Friends Room. Lots of books, DVD’s puzzles, and games ($0.50 to $3). Get there early and bring your own bag.
