Once upon a time, deep in the heart of the Cotton State, also known as Alabama, a group of spry youngsters found an enjoyment like no other - yoga! Alabama, with its towering peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, its gushing rivers, and its endless fields of cotton, became their perfect stage. These kids weren’t your ordinary Alabamian younglings, oh no! They were the Yogi-Yoginis of ol' Alabama, led by their fearless leader, a funky flamingo named Flo. Flo - with her long, lanky legs and her neck that curved into the funniest shapes - was the perfect yoga instructor. She could stand on one leg better than any bird they knew, and boy, did she rock the tree pose! "All aboard the 'Choo-Choo Train of Tranquility', folks! Next stop: Mount Serenity!" Flo would squawk in her charming southern drawl, and the kids would scramble onto their handy-dandy yoga mats. They stretched and bent, twisted, and turned, all under the southern sun that painted the Alabama sky in hues of orange, pink and purple. They laughed when Flo got tangled in the pretzel pose, giggled when she wobbled in the warrior pose, and roared with laughter when she nearly toppled over trying to imitate a perfectly balanced crow. But what they loved the most was the end of every session. Flo would ruffle her feathers, clear her throat and say, "Alright, y'all! Time for us to be calm clouds floating in the clear Alabama sky." The kids would lay down, feeling the southern warmth seep into their bones, their giggles fading into soft snores. In the heart of Alabama, these yoga-loving kids discovered an endless source of joy and relaxation, unearthing the secret to inner peace, all thanks to a funny flamingo named Flo.
