Kids Yoga (7-10 y.o.)

About this event

Yoga for Kids led by Amruta Vyas or Chelseay Ocean (sub) Ages 7 to 10 · Saturdays 12:30 to 1:30 PM We all come to yoga for a healthy body, a clear mind, and a happy heart. Children deserve the same gift, taught in a way that feels like play and lands like wisdom. What a class looks like. Every session opens with a theme drawn from real yoga: the breath, how the body moves, the chakras, or yama and niyama, the tradition's simple rules for being kind to yourself and others. Teh teacher then builds a sequence around that theme , introducing the classic poses one at a time so kids learn their names, their shapes, and how they feel from the inside. Then comes free playtime, on purpose: children learn as much from wiggling as from stillness, and we make room for both. Every class ends with playful time and a moment of quiet. The mala. In some sessions where we explore the chakras, each child receives a bead in that chakra's color. By the end of the program they have assembled their own mala, one bead per lesson: a necklace they made, from a tradition they now understand. Why yoga for kids. Flexibility and strength come along for the ride, but the heart of yoga is learning to steady a wandering mind. Children who practice learn to be present, to notice their breath when feelings get big, and to focus when it counts. Yoga also teaches gentle discipline: the ability to pause and respond rather than react, a skill that serves a child in the classroom, on the playground, and at home. Our current group is ages 7 to 10 , and children slightly outside that range are welcome to try a class ; if we see interest in another age group, we will open one. No experience needed, mats provided, just comfortable clothes and curiosity.
