Little Lotuses Yoga (crawling-3 yrs)
This class introduces the basics of yoga to our tiniest yogis in a creative and active way.  Circle time, storytelling, animal poses and parachute games are incorporated into the curriculum making the yoga practice fun and accessible.  Breathing techniques, bubbles and relaxation help the little lotuses focus and find calm.  Classes increase strength and improve coordination and balance.  While yoga experience is not necessary, parents/caregivers are an integral part of this class and should come ready to participate.

Down Dog I, II (3-8 yrs)
Down Dog classes introduce children to the practice of yoga.  Yoga poses and principles are explored in a variety of fun ways.  Nature, basic anatomy, and imagination are all key aspects of the class.  Children are encouraged to explore the way their bodies move through creative projects, collaboration, story time and songs.  Chanting, breathing exercises and simple meditation practices relax and calm the mind.  Each class finishes with relaxation-something the little yogis come to look forward to!  No prior yoga experience required.

Family Yoga (3-6 or 7-11)
Family Yoga classes are designed to bring this beautiful practice to everyone. Each class will provide tools, games and poses that can be practiced at home with kids of all ages. Through group and partner work, games, breathing practices and more, beginner and experienced yogis will have fun exploring the possibilities! Classes improve strength, coordination and flexibility. Meditation, chanting and relaxation techniques are incorporated into each session. No yoga experience necessary. Adult participation is required.
