Classes For Pre-School Through Grade 12
The benefits that come with a weekly yoga and mindfulness class are numerous and are often apparent within a few weeks of beginning our program. As yoga and mindfulness educators we relish the shifts and transformations that so readily surface in the yoga classroom. Among our favorites are the improved physical and emotional strength and balance that students discover through yoga, the improved ability to focus their attention, and the newfound ability to self-regulate their behavior through their breath.

What Students and Teachers Are Saying
"Yoga helps me come to my safe place. It helps me concentrate on my work."
Yoga, Mindfulness and The Mat Classes
Our signature “on-the mat” yoga and mindfulness class, offered in area schools since 2002, is a consistent crowd pleaser among teachers, students and school organizations. The curriculum, drawn from the basic tenets of yoga and mindfulness, employs a thematic approach that is sure to engage. Filled with inspiring poses and easy-to- learn and easy-to-recall mindfulness activities for students and teachers, this class offers all participants the opportunity for improved physical and emotional wellbeing. A certified Yoga Child staff member will come to your school and teach your students a developmentally appropriate Yoga Child class which includes:
- Fundamental yoga postures for strength and stability
- Yoga based games for non-competitive fun
- Relaxation methods for restoring natural energy
- Signature Magical Meditations as heard on our Parents Choice Recommended music compilation.
- Mindfulness & breathing practice for improved focus and attention
- Yoga literature, yoga journaling, music & songs for self-expression
- Lessons for taking mindfulness off the mat and into our everyday lives
- Mindfulness practices as illuminated in the award-winning Anh’s Anger children’s book trilogy.
Preschoolers will enjoy fanciful yoga themes inspired by seasons and imaginary travels. A typical yoga class will begin with a yoga game, followed by magical meditations, a yoga journey employing asana instruction, a yoga based story or song, a quiet game, a lesson in mindfulness, a guided rest and time for sharing.
