Got kids? Me, too! Wish they'd start yoga early? This is for you and for them! An introduction to yoga that includes ocean-sounding (or Darth Vader) breath, some hissing in cobra pose and tail-wagging in down-dog, a breakdown of sun salutations and classic standing poses, and a lot of emphasis on the power of breathing deeply, focusing, and developing a gratitude practice :)

Breathe as You Move

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 7, 2017

Vinyasa Flow Beginner

Our second session in the Kids' Yoga course. One of the main concepts when we practice yoga is that we inhale when we expand, and exhale when we contract. We play with that idea throughout this practice, which includes sun salutes, warrior 3, backbends, and hip and hamstring openers. Your little is going to feel really good after this!

Sweet Dreams Kids' Yoga

By Jessica Jablonski on Sep 24, 2020

Gentle Yoga Beginner

This is a class meant to be practiced at night time. Sometimes it can be hard to slow down after a fun day! Yoga and meditation can help us wind down our minds and our bodies, and help us get ready for a good night's sleep. We will start with getting all the wiggles out and end in a calming, mindful body scan. You can even do this class on your bed. Sweet dreams!

Focus for Kids

By Jessica Jablonski on Oct 7, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Beginner

Kids ages 5-tweens (their grownups are welcome to join!) With all that is going on in the world right now, it can be hard for us to find our focus! Breathing, yoga and mindfulness can help! We will work with the haikini mudra in this practice - a mudra is another name for hand yoga. This mudra helps us find concentration. Flowing through many poses that require our direct attention and finishing in resting pose, yogis will be reminded that they can do anything they put their mind to.

You can expect some nice hip and shoulder opening and fun standing balance along the way! Enjoy!

Tweens It's such an important practice to wake up and start off our days with an open heart, unshakeable trust and confidence. Nowadays, it can be hard to have faith that we will get through this tough time of COVID 19. Working with the Vajrapradama Mudra, we will flow together and learn yoga tools to prepare you for a successful day.

Silly Straps

By Jessica Jablonski on Jan 15, 2021

Hatha Beginner

Ages 4+ We are going to play with yoga straps, but if you don't have one that's okay!! You can use a scarf, or a belt, or even a rolled up towel. We call a yoga strap a prop in yoga class. Props are great tools that help us do poses in a safer way for our bodies. Get ready to use your imagination and play yoga!
