Happy Hedgehog Yoga (Ages 6-8)

In this animal yoga class, learners can expect to have fun, get moving, breathe deeply, and learn about hedgehogs! This will be a safe and fun space to experience yoga poses, talk about our feelings, learn fun animal facts, and learn about deep breathing. We'll follow my friend Harriet the hedgehog through a regular day and learn fun facts about hedgehogs along the way! 

The yoga poses will be gentle, active, and accessible for all students, regardless of body-type or skill level. I am a very energetic teacher and I love to interact with my students. Students can expect to participate by moving, guessing the answer to multiple-choice questions, and a small amount of discussion. Here is what the class will look like:

- As we begin class, we'll introduce ourselves, meet Harriet the hedgehog, and share one thing we already know about hedgehogs (this can be as simple as saying, "hedgehogs are small!" or something more specific). 

- Next, we will follow Harriet the hedgehog through her daily routine. This will include sleeping, eating, and rolling. We'll learn fun hedgehog facts and new yoga poses as we go. Learners will be free to laugh, ask questions, and guess the answer to fun, hedgehog-related multiple-choice questions. 

- As we finish up class, we will spend some time learning how to breathe deeply and end in a short goodbye discussion. 

Students will need: comfortable clothes and a clean, clear space to move (both on the floor and in standing poses)
