Kids yoga is a wonder-filled opportunity for kids to explore their bodies, minds, and potential.  Each class will move through the imaginative mythology that surrounds the yoga asanas as they are introduced to the kids with positive self-empowering themes.  Don’t be fooled by all the fun, kids are still learning mindfulness, body-awareness and breathing practices through each story.

At Fusion Yoga, each class is built around a familiar framework to build comradery and confidence as a community.  We will begin by tuning into the energy of the class with sound.  Each day the children will learn a new way to become aware of their own breath.  Warming the body and moving into age appropriate learning of sun salutations and yoga asana through story will be the bulk of learning and fun while incorporating games and creative movement that is dynamic and playful.  A noticeable transition to quiet will lull the children into a restorative and rewarding relaxation.  Even young children can learn to sit still and follow their breath as they begin the practice of meditation. Before leaving class, the children will have the predictability of a ritual closing that can help to integrate the yoga practice done that day into their daily lives.  All classes are designed for the physical development appropriate to their age and the learning developments key to their emotional and cognitive development.
