Movement, Fun and Relaxation!
L’il Yogis (Kids Yoga) is a 45 minute yoga session incorporating movement, story, games and relaxation. Each session caters to a distinct age and stage of development for optimal participation, enjoyment and growth. Children are guided safely into poses and are encouraged to be creative and spontaneous as they develop increased body awareness and confidence. We complete each session with a short period of stillness.
