PRESCHOOL CLASSES
Classes to complement and enrich children through the preschool years. And unlike preschool, parents and caregivers finally get to see their preschoolers in action!
Yoga & Cooking
Yogini
(18mo - 5 years) Lindsey uses play, movement, music and stories to bring children into the world of yoga. Children will use their imaginations to roar like lions and hop like frogs. The young yogis will learn breath work and movements to help them connect to their own growing bodies and they will be encouraged to explore and try new things. We know that toddlers have a hard time sitting still. That's why this class is full of movement! We'll jump and dance and have a blast!
