Hug a cloud

Let me start with, this is one of the most important questions to be asked when loooking for a yoga class for your child to attend.

Is your teacher and the program designed to be child friendly? Not every yoga teacher is meant to be teaching children...and not every studio is child friendly..Does the class center around a theme? Or is it designed to follow an adult class structure?

When selecting a teacher: Are they creative? Good energy? Understanding of children's outbursts and mood swings? Good at classroom management techniques? Confident enough to discipline misbehavior in a class before it gets disruptive? Flexible in class structure? Good at demonstrating poses versus explaining proper pose ailignment.

Do they posess that unique spark that makes every class theme fun and engaging?

Does your child like them? (This is a BIG clue- trust your childs instincts) Not all teachers are a good fit for every class or student. Children have a unique ability to know if someone is child friendly or faking it..

As a children's yoga teacher, we are not as concerned about a child learning the proper ailignment when first being introduced to a yoga pose, but rather their eagerness to try it and master it later on.

We hope that this gives you a good starting place when selecting a class for your child.

Namaste', Have a Great Yoga Day!

Back to School means a variety of stressful situations for children of all ages. Imagiine starting a new Job every fall. Who will you know? Will your boss be nice? How hard will your new job be? These are just a few comparisons of what your child may be feeling.

What can you do?

Wake your child up a half hour earlier then needed each morning so that NO RUSHING is happening prior to their leaving for school. Let them have plenty of time to get ready in a calm and stress free environment. Do a different yoga breath before your child leaves for school to practice on the bus or in the car that day or even at their desk. Provide a healthy, hearty breakfast versus a sugar filled one.

Suggested Back to School Yoga Breath for younger students: A,B,C Breath: Breathe in, breathe out as you say "A", Breathe in, breathe out as you say "B", continue as long aas needed in the alphabet

Older students: Inhale and exhale a vowel each time: "A, E, I, O, U"
