​​Yogini

Yogini

Only a few left!

Details

Type of Class

Yoga for young children.  Lots of movement - jumping, stretching and pretending to be animals!  
Please note:  Parents do NOT have to enjoy adult yoga to have fun in this class! :)

Energy
​Level

Moderate.  Children of all energy levels enjoy this class as the movers get to move and the more mellow kids get to practice their poses.  We end with a relaxing (short) savasana to bring awareness to and control of our bodies

Age
Range

18 mo - 5 years.
Our younger yogis build upon what they've learned week after week and our older yogis help model poses.  We know that most toddlers can't sit still for an entire class, so we incorporate a lot of fun movement and games

Good for 
​Siblings?

Yes!  Best for siblings in the designated age range, and babies under 1 who accompany older siblings are no charge.

Amount of 
​Structure

Structured - we follow a familiar routine each week because children thrive off of knowing what to expect.  Within that routine, there is a lot of room to wiggle and we include a free play time at the end of each class



Yoga for Babies

Yoga Babies

Details

Type of 
​Class

Yoga for babies and infant massage.  Light stretching for parents, but main focus is on bonding and baby development.  We end class by making coffee/tea an allowing parents to chat and get to know one another.

Level

Mild.  This is our chill out baby class.  Stretches are relaxing and non-stressful.  This class is for non-crawling babies

Age
Range

6 weeks - crawling.  Parents can bring babies before 6 weeks and we will help modify their practice. 

Good for Siblings?

Twins are of course always welcome and caregiver can alternate between babies (or our instructor can borrow one!).  No charge for more than one baby.

Amount of Structure

We will flow through stretching and poses, do infant massage and sing songs.  Structured, but laid back.  Diaper changes and feedings are always allowed.

 

Child Development

Positive Discipline Workshop

Details

Infant Massage Workshop

Details

Type of Class

This is our signature class.  We combine a structured circle time with songs, lap bounces, props and parachute with a different developmental play activity each week.  Lots of sensory play, some beginning process art, & pretend play.

Energy Level

Moderate.  Children with both low and high energy do well, and our instructors tailor the class to children's temperaments.  Circle time gets the energy out, activity time focuses the children on a task and we end with relaxing story and bubbles.

Age
Range

We divide these classes into smaller age ranges to focus on different levels of development.  
Babytime = 4-12mo
Caterpillars = 10-16 mo
Butterflies = 1.5-2.5yrs
Fireflies = 2- 3.5yrs
Jitterbugs = 1 -3 yrs
Busy Bees = 6mo - 3yrs

Good for Siblings?

Yes!  We offer mixed-age child development classes (Jitterbugs and Busy Bees) that are great for siblings, and younger siblings are always welcome in their older sibling's class.  (siblings under 6 months are free with the exception of Babytime)

Amount of Structure

A healthy mix of structured circle time with loosely structured activity time.  Each class follows the same format to establish routine, but children are allowed to explore freely.

Babytime Sing & Play!

Details

Type of Class

A first music class specifically for babies.  We sing, do lap bounces, gentle movements for baby, play with age appropriate toys and props, introduce the parachute and wrap with a story and bubbles.

Moderate.  We have a lot of fun singing, clapping and bouncing around while incorporating gentle stretches and play for younger babies.

Age
Range

4 - 12 months

Good for Siblings?

This is a smaller age range, so not great for multi-age siblings, but great for twins!

Amount of Structure?

Fairly structured.  We move through a familiar routine of songs and play, but there is also plenty of time to chat and get to know one another.

Details

Type of Class

High-energy music and movement class for older toddlers and preschoolers.  We include puppet play, games, and fun activities to engage our older kids in fun and learning!  ​

High!!!  However, the great thing about this age is that parents don't necessarily have to do all the jumping anymore :)

Highly structured.  Kids are free to dance and jump around as they please, but each song/activity is instructor-led.

Good for Siblings?

This class is very age-specific, but great for multiples!
