Yoga ~ Mindful Movement for Littles (6 Weeks)

  • John Hay Estate at The Fells 456 Rt 103A / PO Box 276 Newbury, NH 03255 United States (map)

Join Sarah Roberts of Cresent Moon Wellness and Yoga for this class in which little yogins and their caretakers are introduced to mindful movement with yoga poses, songs, and fun. The class is geared toward walkers to 4-year-olds, tag along infants are always free! Young children are on the move and this laid-back class creates a “yes” 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 structure will invoke the yogic principle of a balance between structure and flexibility as both teacher and caregivers take cues from the little one. As the weeks continue, children 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. Please bring a mat or blanket to sit on. Water is welcome but please save snacks for after class as they can be distracting and we don't want anyone to choke! This 6-week session will be held rain or shine in the Pavilion at The Fells (and bathrooms will be available). Minimum of 4 families to hold the class. Click HERE to register.
