Namaskar Everyone,

Speaking of parents, here is an article worth reading about Tara Guber's experience of teaching kid's Yoga in schools and running into Christian fundamentalist parents.

Just something interesting for you to contemplate, when considering working with kids. This is not to imply that most parents are a problem, but be aware that there are many potential problems. At Yoga studios - Some parents do not want to pay tuition, and leave their kids around for hours. I had one family stick me good for 5 months tuition, before I said no more. Sort of like a free day care, but it really collides with adult classes. That one family probably chased off 10 of my adult students, before I asked them to go. I almost closed for good that summer. Many kids Yoga programs have been shut down, because of irresponsible parents.
