What's a great way for us to learn Spanish? With our bodies!! Children are naturally wired for kinesthetic learning and using our bodies and our brains at the same time has huge benefits - the best one is that it's FUN!
A few summers ago our family (Ben, Morna, and Liam) went to Oaxaca, Mexico at the Calli Language School for a whole summer of Homestay Spanish Immersion. We lived, breathed, and ate Spanish for months and from that experience Hola Yoga was born. Here are some of our favorite classes for you to practice at home!
