We offer children’s Yoga starting with Prenatal and Mommy & Me all the way to teens and family yoga. See below for more information on enrollment, policies and pricing.

Children’s Yoga Overview:

Yoga helps children to focus, be more self-confident and self-aware, as well as improve physical fitness. In our classes, children get in touch with themselves through the use of postures and relaxation. We engage children through the use of stories, games, songs and other methods. We currently offer 2 age group classes in 6 week series for ages 2-4 & 5-10. Older children may participate with parents (depending on maturity level).

Yoga Ananda and Artoga have teamed up to offer an amazing Children's Yoga Program for 2008! ARTOGA is a custom one-of-a-kind  program, featuring BOOKS, SONGS, POEMS  or TOPICS that are explored through CREATIVE MOVEMENT, THEATRICAL EXPRESSION, YOGA, MUSIC and more to create our very own performances which are showcased to families at the end of each class series.   ARTOGA Yoga classes offers a special time for exercising the body and the mind by using animal & nature poses, games,  practice being quiet & still.  Children gain a further insight into their own physical makeup & inner selves by focusing on breath and body-awareness. Both invigorating & relaxing - your child will feel more focused & able to deal with daily stresses.

Children's Yoga Policy and Information (PDF)

SERIES POLICY: There will no longer be make-up classes or class transfers for the series packages. In order to hold these classes there needs to be a minimum amount of students to reserve a teacher. The teacher must get paid for this minimum number (as we are requiring a minimum) regardless if there are enough students that day. This new policy ensures teacher retention and preservation of the children’s yoga program. Thank you.

MOMMY & ME YOGA
We are currently looking for enough interested mommies to start another Mommy and Me class...please contact us if you are interested.
