MAHOMET, Ill. (WCIA) — Some started their Mother’s Day morning with mindfulness in Mahomet. Flow Yoga welcomed families in for movement and mimosas.

According to the staff, the event serves as a means to unite participants and honor mothers, including one of their own, Shannan Hicks, who conducted the class with her two sons seated in the front row.

“I love that they’re supporting me and being part of it,” Hicks remarked. “Being in touch with yourself and slowing down your mind can really help you in all facets of your life, so I’m glad to pass that on to them.”

Her 13-year-old son, John Fletcher, made it known how grateful he is for Hicks.

“I appreciate that she does the most for us and is very selfless — always puts her kids first,” Fletcher said.

Wyatt Kenyon, 21, positioned his yoga mat near his mother’s at the front of the room. He expressed that the Mother’s Day event provides a wonderful opportunity to show appreciation to Hicks for all she’s done for him.

“I just like to be able to support her,” Kenyon said. “I see how much effort she puts into it and time, so just being able to be here with her, especially on Mother’s Day.”

Flow Yoga is days away from celebrating their one-year anniversary. Staff said they hope to keep the Mother’s Day tradition alive for years to come.
