Kids Yoga Classes
Kids Mat Yoga:
Ages 6 years +
PLEASE BRING A STUFFED ANIMAL FROM HOME AND YOUR OWN YOGA MAT.
Children love to move and they learn best through play! They will have fun pretending to be yoga animals and play yoga games. They will practice yoga poses with their stuffed animal, as the teacher guides them through yoga adventures and movement-based stories. Yoga helps children get rid of the wiggles and restless energy. Visualization and breathing exercises are used for overall balance and concentration, which can be applied toward everyday situations. When your child learns how to find calmness from inside, it will help them be more focused when they need it. This class promotes self-confidence, respect, a positive body awareness, and coping mechanisms for daily life. It’s also a fun and healthy kids activity. Please bring your own personal yoga mat and a stuffed animal to be your yoga friend during class.
The Kids Yoga teacher, Carol, has a 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certification, a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education K-12, has taught yoga since 1997, and has taught fitness classes since 1993. She has experience teaching yoga to pre-school and elementary age kids.
Parents are welcome to stay during the class to observe by sitting in the lobby or in the back of the classroom at no extra charge. A parent may participate and join the class for an additional regular class student fee. Sometimes, it is helpful to have a parent nearby for the first few classes. This may help a child feel more at ease and transition into eventually attending class independently. We want kids to feel welcome and comfortable.
