children’s yoga classes
Family Yoga with Children (5-8 year olds)
Family Yoga classes are a shared wellbeing experience for both children and adults, including parents and other care givers.
Classes take a storytelling approach exploring a weekly theme including National Curriculum, British Values and PSHE topics. This approach to teaching yoga allows us to harness children's natural curiosity to engage, inspire and stimulate children's imaginations.
Families invest in their health and wellbeing whilst explore the world together, it's festivals, cultures and celebrations to build a sense of connection with each other and the wider world. This quality time strengthens family bonds and promotes mutual respect as each family member appreciates each other's strengths and challenges.
Children are engaged through:
Yoga games

Family Yoga with Tweens (8-12 year olds)
This class is designed for families with children aged 8-12, where both parents/caregivers and children can learn, play, and grow together in a supportive and inclusive environment.
This class encourages tweens to explore yoga principles, including morals and values around fairness, respect, and community. By engaging in storytelling and interactive yoga sequences, tweens lead and contribute their own ideas, fostering creativity and a deeper understanding of yoga's benefits on physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
The class allows tweens to explore new ideas, concepts, and challenges through yoga poses and techniques based on themes like World Gratitude Day, Martin Luther King Day, and Environment Day.
Yoga for tweens focuses on building strength, breathing exercises, utilizing the fully developed lung capacity of tweens to promote awareness and control of their breath and mini yoga flow sequences. Longer attention spans allow for more extended relaxation and visualization techniques, giving tweens time to rest and explore their imaginations—often their favourite part of the class.
