The elevator doors slide open and you are enveloped in laughter and light. You step out and enter a large room filled with sunshine streaming through tall glass windows. To your right is a row of parked strollers; in front of you, booths and low round tables are surrounded by child-sized lime green chairs.

If your family will be in the city for all or part of summer, it’s worth looking into what children’s classes are being offered.

Whether you are a devoted yogini who can hold a perfect tittibhasana pose or a total beginner who doesn’t know a mudra from a tadasana, yoga can help you feel better in life.
