Children in this upper elementary and early middle school years are looking for more intelligence in their yoga classes. So we dive deep into themes of compassion, unity, generosity, and confidence in who we are growing up to be in this offering. We workshop the mechanics of poses and learn to use our physical strengths to our advantage while exploring ways to gently encourage the other parts of ourselves to blossom in their own way. And oh, do we still have fun with vibrant literature connections and games in this class! Giggles and cheers will erupt from the room…and if you listen deeply, you’ll hear a good deal of thought, breath and mindfulness humming from the walls of the studio with this group.
