Our Kid’s Body and Movement Group was Designed for Kids (ages 4-7) to Explore Movement in a Positive, Noncompetitive, Therapeutic Environment!
Our unique approach to kid’s body and movement incorporates age-appropriate yoga poses, engaging movement, and breathing techniques with games, music, art, and storytelling. Your child will be inspired to stretch, dance, and play while learning values such as kindness, empathy, and respect for themselves and others.
Overall, our classes hope to build confidence, encourage social-emotional learning, as well as increase physical strength and balance.
The benefits of body and movement classes for kids:
Physical benefits: Builds strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, self-confidence and body awareness.
The principles of yoga: Teaches kindness, sharing, empathy and awareness for others.
Breathwork: Improves self-regulation by calming our nervous system, helps with focus and concentration, helps manage big emotions.
Wellness: helps minimize stress & increase happiness, help develop skills like self-regulation, judgment & patience.
Please note: We warmly welcome children of all abilities and exceptionalities
