Class experience
US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner - Advanced Level
Children will be led through a powerful Vinyasa sequence with engaging, accessible movement. In a Vinyasa class, the breath is connected to each movement, creating a sequence in which each movement flows seamless into the next. In this class, there will be fewer seated and lying down postures than standing and moving ones. The class will end with a short Savasana meditation and full body relaxation in which children will be invited though not required to lie down and close their eyes. My...
Students will learn a high energy yoga sequence involving asana (physical body shapes) and meditation. This is not merely an exercise class. All asanas can be adapted for all bodies and abilities.
I have completed a 200-hour teacher training with Contemporary Yoga Teacher Training in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Learn more at https://yogateachertraining.nz/. I am also trained in Kids Yoga from Yoga Foster (now Wellemental) (New York, USA) and Yogawood (New Jersey, USA) and hold a Master of Arts in Teaching from Smith College.
Required: Stretchy and/or loose clothing, a soft and grippy surface on which to practice (safest is a yoga mat, although grass on soft soil may be suitable), water bottle Recommended: pillows or one pillow and one yoga block, blanket
While this is not only an exercise class, children will be moving their bodies quickly, so an open space in which to stretch their arms and legs wide while standing, kneeling, and lying down is needed. Falling over in a balance shape like Tree is possible. Adult supervision, appropriate clothing (loose or stretchy), and a soft surface (yoga mat or grass with soft soil) is necessary to avoid injury. Please advise me before class if your child has any physical disabilities that may impact their ability to do stretches and balance shapes. I am delighted to accomodate for all bodies with advanced notice. Footwear: The safest and easiest way to practice yoga is barefoot. Socks can cause slipping and injury if worn without shoes during the standing, stretching, and jumping portions of the class.
