Hey all! This week the Daily Practice is all about being outside! We're lucky this week that the weather is incredible and it makes us crave being outdoors....but we are heading into winter. Soooo...in anticipation of your tendencies to stay inside, get practicing being outside! It is sooo important to keep moving outdoors all year round...Vitamin D is missing in a big way in our lives in the winter and spending some time outside each day will help the your mood and spirit throughout the winter. Fresh air, another good reason, no explanation needed! If you chosen to live in cold climates....deal with it right! Get outdoors and have some fun one way or another!
This week Skye and I hung out with some 8th graders at the Barnet School for their Movement Adventure class with Skye of Mocean365. It was freakin' crazy to see the kids in the classroom, which is where we started (only for intros though) vs outside. They had these glazed over looks on their faces, and they looked annoyed, bored and fairly uninterested. Then Skye got them outside as soon as possible to MOVE...and instantly their faces lit up, their personalities appeared and they were laughing and running around like the awesome animals they are!
So for the next week...my recommendation for all of you is to get outside for as long as you can each and every day....and then DO NOT stop there when the weather turns...keep heading out, dressed accordingly and your body and mind will thank you! Hit us up for all the winter movement adventures we will be leading around VT and NH!

I'd like to invite you to check out our new nature playground behind the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury. At the Balch Nature School we too believe in daily outdoor adventures and we have our 3-5 year olds playing outdoors in all weather. I think you will appreciate our new space...including our "Mount Fairbanks" which is a bram (small hill) for the climbing, rolling, and acting as King of the Mountain!
