Babylon Grade School Students Learn Yoga

Children's yoga lesson lets students get active in a new way.

Students from Babylon Memorial Grade School had the unique opportunity on May 10 to receive a yoga lesson from Diana Leone, a children's yoga professional who has over 12 years of experience in the field.

Leone, a Babylon resident who teaches the discipline at schools across Long Island, provided a yoga lesson that instantly connected with the students, as she integrated storytelling, games and music into the hour-long session. According to Leone, her lesson, which concluded a nine-week yoga program at the grade school, helped the students relax, connect more deeply to their inner selves and improve self-esteem.
