ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) Workshop with Kathy Krueger , M.A. LMFT
Saturday June 29 at 11:00am
Take Back the Power of Your Mind. Sometimes our minds have thoughts we don’t like and it is hard to shake them. Do you ever have negative thoughts that you hang on to or ruminate over?
Is there a voice in your head sometimes saying negative things to you that you don’t truly believe but can’t seem to shake?
Can it sometimes be difficult to remain positive?
Are there ever times in yoga class when your mind tries to tell you that you aren’t capable of getting into or holding a particular pose?
Negative thoughts can be heavy and a burden. Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) should not always be believed.
In this workshop you will better understand the importance of letting go of heavy, burdensome feelings and learn a technique to stomp out the ANTs in your head.
Kathy Krueger, MA, LMFT will be our guest speaker, addressing the above topics. She has a private psychotherapy office in downtown Tracy as well as Mountain View working with children, teens, adults, couples, and geriatrics.

Kids Yoga Summer Program
We all know that yoga has benefits beyond the physical alone for adults. But how many of us think of the benefits that this ancient eastern art holds for kids? When it comes to health and fitness for children, we focus on a sport and outdoor play. But another form of exercise that offers them various advantages is yoga, a fact that is not as well known as it should be. Yoga helps children by:
1.Enhancing concentration: When your child gets used to the asanas or postures of yoga, they automatically improve their concentration skills. Ancient sages used yoga as a form of meditation, and their powers of concentration are legendary. Your child learns how to sit still in one place and focus on what’s important as opposed to letting their mind wander and be distracted easily. This helps them in their lessons and at school, boosts their attention span and improves their grades.
2.Increasing flexibility and balance: Yoga helps improve flexibility and balance and tones their muscles too. It makes them stronger and less likely to suffer sprains and fractures through accidental falls.
3.Boosting confidence: When your child is able to display great agility and flexibility, it does wonders for their confidence. Their improved performance at school also helps boost their popularity and their self assurance. They become more poised and start to believe in their abilities. This feeling provides them with the adrenaline they need to achieve success in all their endeavors.
4.Relaxing their minds: Even kids are subject to a great deal of stress these days because of their workload at school and the high expectations that their parents have for them. They are pushed to be achievers at every single point of their lives, and when they fail, they take it to heart and become depressed. Yoga helps them relax and de-stress when they feel upset or depressed. It soothes their frayed minds and helps them get back to a normal mental state. Children are more flexible and agile than adults, so the earlier you get kids started on to yoga, the more benefits they gain.
