Vestal Club – Youth of the Month – June 2021

Meet Alyssa

“I’ve really enjoyed learning yoga,” says 10 year-old Alyssa, a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley – Vestal Club. “Mr. Kenny is our yoga instructor, and he’s taught us how to use yoga to help with stress. I really do find that when I do my yoga poses and focus on my breathing, I can relax.

Some yoga poses are easier than others, but with practice, I’ve gotten pretty good at all of them. My favorite poses are warrior, butterfly, and the cat-cow stretch. I practice yoga at home in my yard and I’ve taught my little sister Kaylee, who is 7 years old, how to do some of the easier poses. It’s nice to be able to help my sister with the poses and we both find that we just relax and have fun when we’re together doing yoga.”
