This is a calm and relaxing yoga class for ages 8-13, but other ages are welcome to join as well. In this class, we practice mindfulness and a combination of Yin & Restorative yoga poses. We often talk about relaxation techniques and offer education about how to soothe our nervous systems. 

Restorative & Yin Yoga are a beneficial tools to rest the body and find comfort and relaxation at anytime, but especially close to bedtime.  Expect a simple and effective yoga sequence that is safe and comfortable for kids. Each class will start with a calming breathing technique. This class will guide learners to a place of peace and relaxation.

How will you teach? What's your teaching style? How much will learners get to interact with you and each other? 

- We teach this class by gently guiding learners into relaxing yoga poses through spoken instruction and physical demonstration. Our teaching style is warm and friendly. The learners will be able to interact with the teacher and the other learners during the welcome and introduction period of the class. After that, we encourage all students to stay on mute (as to not disturb the peace of the other learners) and use the chat box to communicate with the teacher directly throughout the class. 

Is there any required experience or background knowledge that learners should have before enrolling? What is the pacing of the class?
- There is no required experience or background knowledge that learners need to know before enrolling. Previous experience with yoga is helpful, but not necessary. The pacing of the class is quite slow. We sometimes hold one single posture for up to 2-5 minutes at a time. The teacher will speak to the students throughout the posture, or sometimes there will be periods of silence. That is intentional to allow space for mindful breathing and resting the mind.
