Namrata is so happy that she has found her place in our Friday yoga class! Namrata truly shines in our programs and feels a sense of belonging there. She attends regularly, is quick to learn the poses, and excited to see our program leader Maggie and her virtual friends each week. Namrata’s sister told us, “This is something she has enjoyed for years! This program gives us something to look forward to. It also keeps Namrata occupied and teaches her new things each week!”
Namrata enjoys other programs at GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse also! She attends our Fantastic Friends program and our Dance; LaBlast program.
