Kid's Yoga with Rebecca Blake

Friday May 4th
4:00pm
For ages 6-18
This class is taught in a fun, playful, supportive and exploratory format. At this age, we will bring in an element of silliness and playfulness through animals & nature, but there will also be quiet relaxation time.
This class supports children in developing strong and flexible bodies, and the poses also stimulate the brain. The kids will be taught relaxation techniques and tools to cope with stress, which will be useful throughout their entire lives. These skills will enhance their social skills and self-esteem, will allow for better sleep and will balance their bountiful energy.
