Once upon a time, in the fantastic landscape of North Carolina, surrounded by towering emerald mountains that kissed the sky, serene beaches that hummed with the songs of the ocean, and bustling cities full of happy noises, lived a bunch of kids with a shared passion - Yoga! These were no ordinary kids, oh no, they were the Yogi Younglings of NC, led by their hilarious and super flexible, imaginary friend, Pretzel Paddy. Pretzel Paddy was a quirky character, a talking pretzel who'd twist and turn into the most remarkable yoga poses. He wore glasses made of cucumber slices and had a mustache made from carrot shreds, always ready with a hearty "Namaste!" Paddy was their yoga guide, inspiring them to stretch more, breathe more, and laugh outrageously more. These children were a lively bunch, full of giggles and wiggles, joining their hands, toes, and noses (sometimes ending up in a snort and a laugh!) to form poses that Paddy demonstrated. They could transform into mighty mountains, soaring eagles, powerful warriors, and even graceful sleeping cats! They got so good that they could touch their toes without bending their knees, balance on one leg while their eyes were closed, and even stand on their heads! But it wasn't just about the poses. These Yogi Younglings discovered the magic of mindfulness, feeling the cool North Carolina breeze as they focused on their breath, and hearing the rustle of leaves or the lapping waves as they concentrated in silence. But best of all was the laughter echoing across the state as Pretzel Paddy shared his yoga jokes. "Why don't yogis ever get locked out? Because they always carry a key...a kundalini!" So, in this vibrant corner of the world, the Yogi Younglings of North Carolina, led by Pretzel Paddy, discovered the joy of yoga, the beauty of mindfulness, and the magic of laughter.

As parents, it is important to ensure that our children are surrounded by positive, motivating influences. The words of motivational speaker and physiologist Jim Rohn ring true: “You are the average of the 3-5 people you spend the most time with.” We want to make sure our children are influenced by people who are respectful and wise, and who work hard. At UpLevel Martial Arts, we recognize how important it is for our children to have positive influences in their lives. Our instructors teach valuable life lessons to families that can have a lasting impact. By teaching children about respect, hard work, and responsibility while they’re young, we can help them become successful adults. With the guidance and wisdom of our instructors, our children can become the people they want to be.
