CHILDREN’S CLASSES

YogaKids: The YogaKids® program is about learning. Children naturally respond to learning that is presented in interesting, fun and integrative ways. YogaKids® incorporates the two processes that kids respond to best: sound and movement while using the body as the main component of education. Using traditional yoga poses, breathing techniques, and relaxation through music, storytelling and more, these classes will foster strength, coordination, flexibility, and self-control. Students will assume the shapes of various animals and plants while exploring areas such as kindness, peace, inner strength and empathy. For more information about YogaKids®, please go to www.yogakids.com.
**Separate classes will be held for different age group.
Gym Junior: This fun, energetic, educational, toddler fitness program is designed to introduce children (ages 3 and under) to a healthy lifestyle early on. By introducing movement and exercise-based activities they will increase their awareness of their bodies; advance hand/eye coordination, work on balance, utilize all major muscle groups, keep their cardiovascular system healthy, as well as improve their socialization skills. They will even be learning their shapes, colors and counting! Keeping kids moving and engaged through music and activities is the key to ensuring exercise is fun and will attract them to an active lifestyle. Children learn best through example, so the program encourages parents to participate during class. Not only will they enjoy some quality time with their children, but parents will also benefit by burning calories themselves!
