Let's Play Yoga™ is a yoga program for children between the ages of 2 and 12. Our yoga classes are quite different from the typical meditative adult yoga class, in our classes children are animated, noisy and free-spirited! Adults often have to work at yoga, but kids play yoga! While "playing" yoga, children move about the room, play breathing games, make noises, act out stories, and pretend to be animals. They hiss like snakes in the Cobra pose, bark like dogs in the Downward Facing Dog pose and learn to balance on one foot while standing tall like trees. Let's Play Yoga™ instructors use storytelling, games, music, art, and puppets to engage children both physically and mentally. Research shows that when children do yoga in a playful but structured environment, they begin to develop better body awareness and the initial tools for better concentration, coordination and balance. So slither, hop, bounce, or fly right over to yoga class! All you need to bring is your imagination!
