Gina Marie's Singsong and Yoga is an interactive program. Gina has a musical CD out called "The Blue Alligator." She uses the songs from her CD to promote positive thinking, manage emotions, relax, empower with her positive messages and songs, gain greater self confidence, self awareness and self love. Emotional intelligence is key to planting seeds of empowerment! We will play games, sing, drum, practice yoga, meditation and deep relaxation! 

This program is now located in the Program Room.
