What happens in a Kids Yoga class?

All programs are designed for the specific age group of children attending the class with postures, breathing and relaxation taught accordingly. However, if you were to 'poke your head in' the door of a Just kids class you would see children:

• Accessing yoga poses in a child-friendly and fun way by imitating the way animals move and of course the noises they make!
• Weaving stories with both their bodies and minds.
• Moving to music and singing songs.
• Playing yoga games.
• Working together with a partner or as a group.
• Developing relaxation skills
• And much more
