A kids yoga class is quite different from a yoga class for grown-ups. We don’t do pose after pose after pose for 45 minutes and then rest quietly in savasana for another 15 minutes. We don’t squeeze 40 people side-by-side into the studio with an instructor at the front. A class like that would never hold a child’s attention for too long. Yogi Cubs classes are sized small and highly personal. Our fast-paced classes incorporate several components in short spurts to keep young minds actively engaged. In a typical kids yoga class, we introduce ourselves with an ice-breaker, play yoga/ mindfulness games, work through a story time yoga flow, and end with a guided relaxation. Our classes for 4-12 year old children include mindful crafting, gardening, or music activities. We even have a small library/ sensory room for the kids to explore if they want to stay longer. Every class includes mindfulness exercises to teach kids how to slow down, notice the present moment, and just observe the world around them and the world inside them.
