Mindful Movement for 4-6 Year Olds

For Child and Caregiver
Join Meghan MacLean of Crescent Moon Wellness & Yoga for this class in which growing yogins and their caretakers are introduced to mindful movement with yoga poses, songs, and fun. The class is geared toward 4–6-year-olds, but surrounding ages are welcome based on parental discretion (as well as tag along infants/littles). In this class we’ll explore the framework of meditation and yoga through movement, sound, interaction, and breath. 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 both teacher and caregivers take cues from the kids. Class will provide the opportunity for bonding, deeper body awareness, and increased attention span as well as an outlet for emotions and nurturing creativity. Come in comfy clothes you can both move in and please bring a mat or blanket to sit on. Water is welcome but please save snacks for after class as they can be distracting. This 5-week session will be held rain or shine in the Garden or Pavilion at The Fells (and bathrooms will be available). Full 5-week session is $60, or drop-ins are welcome, if space is available, for $15/class. Class size is limited to just 12 pairs and advance registration is required.
