*Class Descriptions

Music Monkeys™- Infant - 4 years.
This is our signature class and is suitable for children, ages infant - four. This program encourages learning in a family environment. Everyone is learning, and playing together. The activities are individualized and modified to accommodate the ages of the children in the group. Younger children learn, observe, and model what the older children are doing, and the older children learn by teaching and guiding the younger children.

Music Lions™ - Our Music Lions™ class is a sophisticated class for children, ages 3-4 years, and their caregivers. At this age, children tend to be more active and identify with their peers, make new friends, learn, and challenge each other. In addition, they are ready to do activities that are more advanced for a confident and courageous little lion.

Power Warriors™ - Upon entering the world of independence, these little maturing warriors are feeling the powerful surge of their strength and growth in mind and body. We will move into a series of fun-filled yoga postures for an overall mind and body stretch, building flexibility and endurance. With the breath being our life force, children will learn breathing techniques for health and wellness. Additionally, we will play games that build confidence, social, team building, and leadership skills.

Yoga/Music Fusion - This is a family style class tailored to accommodate grown-ups and their little 2-5 year old yoginis and musicians. Families will experience and learn the magic of yoga and mindfulness through the wonderful world of music and movement. Imagine living as a yogi in a musical! We’ll learn songs, dances, movements, play instruments, yoga postures, breathing techniques, brain gym activities, read stories, and much more! Learn basics skills in music while developing strength and flexibility in mind and body.

Children’s Yoga Express:
Prancing Warriors™ - 3-4 years. Children in this age group are entering the magical years of fantasy and vivid imagination. We will embark on a Yoga Adventure to the Jungle, the Zoo, or wherever the little imaginations of our Prancing Warriors™ take us. The joy of this class is learning and experiencing yoga and mindfulness through the art of letting go and embracing the moment. This is a parent and child class.

Power Warriors™ - 5-8 years. Upon entering the world of independence, these little maturing warriors are feeling the powerful surge of their strength and growth in mind and body. We will move into a series of fun-filled yoga postures for an overall mind and body stretch, building flexibility and endurance. With the breath being our life force, children will learn breathing techniques for health and wellness. Additionally, we will play games that build confidence, social, team building, and leadership skills.

Peaceful Warriors™ - 9-12 years. At this age, children are beginning to develop empathy and personal responsibility. Physically they can do more, but their bone structures are still developing and adjusting. We will hone in on these natural developmental stages and create an experience where children build skills in emotional intelligence and graceful movement through physical and social games, yoga postures, including Sun Salutations, and learning the art of sitting still and breathing.
