These classes are a fun multidimensional intro to yoga for the little ones. We will strengthen our imaginations, learning simple animated poses, with the help of yoga games and silly songs. We will also go on great yoga adventures — becoming animals, vehicles, food, clouds, dragons, superheroes — you name it. We’ll bark in downward dog, hiss in cobra pose, and flutter our wings in butterfly. Class is interspersed with simple kid-friendly breathing suggestions that help to strengthen coordination and build body awareness.
Parents/caregivers welcome, especially for children who are not yet potty trained. There is a bathroom directly connected to the room where we meet. If you are joining your child/ren, please come ready to participate and play along!! (Kids will get distracted by grown-ups who are not playing yoga too. :) These classes will look very different from adult classes, so bring an open mind!
It's also totally fine to drop your kid/s off. Rainbow Grocery is 4 blocks away, and there are a couple cafes.
Class is 45 minutes, which includes a little time for transitioning into and out of the class.
Bring a mat if you have one.
