Kids Yoga

Explore purposeful poses and purposeful play.

Kids Yoga (ages 5-8)

January 17 – February 21, Fridays from 5:30-6:30pm (same time as Hot Pilates!)

In our classes we will be learning practices that are focused on creativity, compassion, acceptance, and flexibility through mindful play, pranayama (breath), movement and relaxation.

Tailored to the needs of the class at their age level, the practices will look at fun ways to move and think in a group. This could include games, crafts, songs, and use of props (eg. parachutes, hula hoops, dancing ribbons, etc.)

We will also learn about different asanas (poses), their names, their purpose and how props (bolsters, blocks, etc.) can assist in supporting their bodies.

Class guidelines:

Practice Ahimsa:

  • Respecting the studio (not colouring on the floor or breaking props)
  • Non-harming to others or self (physically, verbally, etc)
  • Respecting personal space and boundaries (partner poses, when someone says stop, you stop)

Practice Tapas:

  • Keeping a calm environment (awareness of screaming when having fun)
  • Lights stay on unless dimmer lights are required for an activity

If you’d like to sit out of an activity, please find another activity that is not distracting to other students who are participating
Cleaning spilled water bottles right away
No socks

Nothing scheduled but check back soon!

While creatively discovering the different aspects/elements of a physical and mental yoga practice, your pre-teen will gain a deeper sense of self, create connections, make friends, and build self confidence.

Each week will be centered around a different theme and focused with a meditation, time for personal reflection, group discussion as well as a balancing and fun yoga sequence. Activities may also include mindfulness, storytelling, arts + crafts, breathing exercises, group games, journalling, singing, music, movement and more!

Class themes may include:

  • Mindfulness/Breathing
  • Nervous Systems/Self Care
  • Emotions/Equanimity
  • Grounding/Heart Brain Connection

No experience is necessary. Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in and don’t forget your water bottle!
