Class Descriptions

 

Kids of all ages learn best when they’re having fun! We conduct our classes according to age groups to ensure appropriate and safe levels of engagement.

 

Parents/caregivers are welcome to stay during class, however it's not a requirement. In fact, our young and growing yogis often participate most expressively with a bit of independence. We encourage you to consider using this time to take a well deserved relaxation break - go grab a coffee or tea and return to pick up your yogis at the end of class.

 

Ages 5 - 9

Our kids help create our themed yoga classes with their imaginations. We’ll weave together a story using our bodies to form poses of animals and plants we see in our “travels”. We’ll sing along with a ukulele, read stories, make crafts, and learn about ways we can help the rest of the planet right here in Calgary. We’ll practice simple deep breathing techniques to help our kids learn gentle, calming tools to use any time they are feeling overwhelmed or in a stressful situation. We'll end each class with a guided relaxation to help focus busy young minds.

 

Youth 10 - 12

Our youth - or "tweens" - classes are a chance to create bonds, build trust, and encouragement for students to just be themselves. We use physical poses to build confidence and provide a sense of inclusion at a time of development when bodies are starting to change. Our relaxation exercises give time and space for students to bring awareness to their thoughts.

 

Teens 13 - 17

Teens are an often overlooked youth group but they actually benefit deeply from participating in a supportive, empowering yoga class. Yoga poses, relaxation and guided meditation help increase a teen's self-acceptance and awareness of others. This class is an opportunity to safely and non-judgementally explore healthy self-esteem during an often uncomfortable and confusing transition from childhood to adulthood.

 

Family Yoga

Children and parents/caregivers participate together for the health benefit of the kids, and to strengthen family bonds. We do lots of group/partner poses and games. This opportunity to have fun and act silly is a tremendous release for kids AND adults. Family yoga is very special as there are not many activities available for parents and kids to do together.

 

Private Lessons

We are also available for private lessons - these are ideal for one child, a group of children, or families who would like more opportunity for interactive, individual-focused attention. See our contact info page for inquiries about schedule and rates.
