Children have many challenges and stressors to navigate throughout their day, but Yoga at Sprout Pediatrics can help! Yoga is fun 😊 and helps children learn how to keep their mind and body healthy!
Yoga has many benefits including building healthy habits, increasing self-confidence, teaching healthy ways to manage stress, and it provides brain breaks from technology. These new healthy habits can be superpowers for our kiddos!
Dr. Hernandez works closely with Sprout Pediatrics to support their patients. We are excited to announce that she will be offering children’s yoga and counseling groups at Sprout. (see schedule below)
Dr. Hernandez plans to host parent education opportunities in 2021.
