Play is often talked
about as if it were a relief from serious learning.
Moms,
Dads and children derive all the same benefits from yoga: strength,
flexibility, discipline, relaxation and peace of mind.
We have created these classes so you can come to
yoga, gain all the excellent benefits, but mainly enjoy being together in your
parent/child relationship doing something physical and playful.
These classes may be the sweetest time you
spend with your children: connecting, breathing and doing something that brings
you closer together distinguishing this special hour from every other moment in
the month.
This is an hour when as a Mom or Dad you
can leave discipline at the door of the studio. In fact you must
to not spoil the magic of this yoga hour. The yoga is not competitive and
we do not correct children in yoga poses. This may be the one hour
when it's absolutely perfect whatever your child is up to. If they wobble
in tree pose, so what? If they fidget, let them. If they tickle you
and don't take the yoga seriously, laugh with them.
Consider how many restrictions and instruction they
are going to be inundated with over the next 10 years of their life...don't do
it like that, do it like this, why are you doing that, I told you not to do
that....the yoga is like a clear canvas where your child can be free, childlike
and through that feel happier and more peaceful.
The playdates will consist of age-appropriate yoga
warm ups, adventures with yoga poses, partner poses, breathing, stories and
always end with relaxation so we teach our children the power of quiet time for
the body and mind.

Remembering if I had my child to raise all over again
If I had my child to raise all over again,
I’d finger paint more, and point the finger less..
I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less, and know to care more.
I would do more hikes and fly more kites.
I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I’d run through more fields, and gaze at more stars.
I’d do more hugging, and less tugging.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I’d build self esteem first, and the house later
I’d teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love
