Flow and Grow Yoga is designed to physically, mentally, and spiritually introduce your child to the wonderful world of yoga. Your child will join Miss Kim, a certified yoga instructor and Young Fives teacher at JCUMC, for an instructive, rejuvenating, and FUN yoga practice through this unique enrichment class.
