The following is a post from Olivia, one of our two Fairy Godmother Program Coordinators. Participants in the Fairy Godmother Program meet on the f first Tuesday or Thursday of the month for an activity as a larger group (outside of their individual meetings as matches). Here's what happened during their November activity!

Yoga with the Fairy Godmother Program

With everyday stressors in life often taking an emotional and physical toll on our bodies, it is important to stay balanced.  This importance led Erika and myself to plan an hour of relaxing yoga for the November Fairy Godmother Program Activity.

I would like to send a warm thank you to Tasha from Moksha Yoga for donating her time and instructing Tuesday's and Thursday’s practice with patience and enthusiasm.  Tasha did not hesitate when she was asked to lead the sessions as an in-kind donation and arrived both days with an eager excitement to be a part of the program this month.  Without the generous people like Tasha contributing to The Princess Shop, the organization would not be where it is today.

In came November, quite briskly, and in came the Princess Graduates and Fairy Godmothers to stretch out and let go of the day’s thoughts.  For some, it was the very first time practicing yoga.  Everyone agreed that trying new things can be intimidating at times but is worth the experience in the end.  Tasha made us all feel more than comfortable and a couple of matches enjoyed it so much they chatted about attending yoga together on their own.

It was inspiring to see the Fairy Godmothers encourage the Princess Graduates to take a chance on something they may not have done before and Erika and I are both thankful we were able to be a part of that!

Best, 

Olivia
