Yoga helps children to manage emotions and provides opportunities to explore fun physical movement, develop body awareness, coordination, and of course, to play! We will create space to connect through yoga poses, games, storytelling and more. Through the poses your child will build balance, strength and flexibility.
We will also introduce working with the breath in an imaginative way that is accessible. Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children by enhancing focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behavior, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children. In this series, your little one will have countless opportunities to discover shapes, explore balance and the celebrate the body's incredible abilities.
This class is designed for ages 4-8. Class size is limited.
“This Yoga class is an activity my daughter (and I) have looked forward to week after week. Stacey is wonderful! She facilitates in a way that engages the children with fun as well as challenging them to practice maturity skills like discipline, frustration tolerance, and patience. They aren't squealing and running around the studio with manic kid energy, but a few giggle fits do break out here and there. The best part is they all walk out with smiles and things to share (and parents get 45 minutes of quiet in the hall). As a former yoga teacher, it was important for me to find a class that was focused less on little tricks to keep them excited and engaged, but really teaching them foundational yogic skills so they could participate from a relaxed and focused manner. This class is it! P.S. Bedtime is always a breeze on yoga nights." - Ashley Travis
