May 6 – June 17, 2024 – Mondays 6:30-7:30pm ($75 for 6 weeks)
No class May 20

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
