A classroom full of pint size participants was treated to an introduction to yoga earlier this month. Thanks to the partnering of Magnolia Elementary T-K teacher Michelle Jones and expertise of OJUSD Paraprofessional and Certified Baptiste Yoga teacher Kim Manley, close to 20 five-year-olds were guided through some basic poses and a lesson in mindfulness. “I’ve always had a little paper with five poses and I use it to help them breathe and think quietly,” Jones said of her classroom’s exposure prior to Manley’s visit.
