Mindful Movement for Toddlers - Session III

  • John Hay Estate at The Fells 456 Rt 103 Newbury, NH 03255 United States (map)

Session III: Tuesdays, September 7 - 12, 10:00-10:45am

For Toddlers and Caregiver

Join Meghan MacLean of Crescent Moon Wellness and Yoga for this class in which little yogins and their caretakers are introduced to yoga with songs, movement, stories, and play. The class is geared toward new walkers to 36 months but crawlers and older toddlers are welcome too (as are tag along infants)! Toddlers are on the move and this laid-back class creates an environment for movement, song, interaction, and play through the framework of yoga. Repetition is an important learning tool for young children, which is why the series model works best for this age group. The class will practice the yogic principle of a balance between structure and flexibility as caregivers take cues from their toddler. As the weeks continue, toddlers may start to become familiar with poses and find deeper body awareness. Other benefits may include bonding with caregiver(s), increasing attention span, creating an outlet for emotions, and nurturing creativity. Feel free to bring a toy or lovey if this will make your child more comfortable and come in comfy clothes and layers. No mat needed but we will be sitting on the floor/grass so you are welcome to bring a mat, blanket, or towel. Water is welcome but snacks can be distracting. This 6-week session will be held rain or shine in either the Heather bed or the Pavilion at The Fells (drive down the main driveway and follow parking signs to park close to class). Full 6-week session is $80, drop-ins are welcome for $17/class. Reserve online or call 603-763-4789 x3.
