Our 8-week yoga-play curriculum balances bodies and brains as children discover yoga through yoga-inspired games, stories, poses, and mindfulness exercises. The three pillars of our program are fitness, focus and fun, with an emphasis on the fun! This class uses yoga with acupressure for pain relief in this new approach to an ancient practice that creates a balanced, pain-free body. Using ideas from Integrated Positional Therapy by Lee Albert, participants will learn the benefits of asana (stretching), pranayama (breathing) and meditation and how to have better posture and muscle balance. The class includes the following practices: Warmups, Daily Stretches, Asanas, Qi Gong (more energy), Reflexology (feet and hands) and Acupressure.
