Important Note: CEFR: all levels Learner shall be cleared by his/her Physician to engage in the physical practice of Yoga. This is an individualized class for any young student needing a Brain Break as requested by some parents. Learner will be guided through a variety of Yoga poses that are invigorating & relaxing, breathing techniques, starting with the most cleansing progressing into the most relaxing ones, gifting the child with a sense of relief, oxygenating the body & mind, and then relaxing deeper to harmonize all the layers of their being, especially the nervous system, finishing with a calming mini mindfulness meditation. Teaching style is inclusive, with kindness, descriptive of the practices in age-appropriate language, and with a light and serene interaction. For these reasons and for gauging Learner's interest level and to be able to adjust accordingly, I require open mics and video in my classes so there is a sense of community and engagement with the material. There is no pre-requisite for this private class. Safety First: Learner shall be cleared by his/her Physician to engage in the physical practice of Yoga. By registering Learner in this class, Guardian/Parent(s) acknowledge(s) they understand there are always risks in any physical program, assume(s) all risks, and waive(s) any rights to file any claim against the instructor in regards to Learner's participation in class.
Learning Goals
Student will learn to self-observe and monitor levels of well-being, then techniques to cultivate body & mind wellbeing.

Supply List
Space: Learner will need a quiet space in the home, without sensorial (unless child needs it) and/or electronic interruptions. Materials: ideally, learner will have a non-slippery Yoga mat, a blanket (regular or weighted whichever one they prefer), a yoga strap, 2 yoga blocks, eye pillow (it could be any alternative acceptable to child like a small folded towel), and a cushion (or pillow) for his/her comfort. Water bottle: Learner will not need a water bottle, but it is encouraged that they be properly pre-hydrated. Clothing: Clothing (pants and a top) should be loose and comfortable. No shoes and no socks are required as Yoga is practiced barefoot for better freedom of movement and safety. Parents: Parents are encouraged to stay nearby in the background, monitoring the child's wellbeing, in case child needs parental support. No Pre-Stretching is required as class includes gradual warm-ups to the poses. Notebook & Pen: Optional, Learner may want to keep a journal of his/her class experiences.
