Story Yoga Hour
This one hour program is designed to embrace mind, body and spirit through literature and the art of yoga! A blend of story, yoga, songs, poems, games and visualization exercises will be introduced to engage your child’s creative energy! Taking inspiration from traditional yoga practices, children will be introduced to a variety of postures (asanas) and focused breath work. * Yoga at an early age builds self-esteem, self-confidence and body awareness while promoting co-ordination and flexibility.

Picture books that deal with themes such as courage, kindness, perseverance and the power of possibilities will be shared to encourage abstract thinking and discussion. These same themes will be reflected in the way children are guided through a series of postures and beginning breath work. In this way, abstract concepts will be translated into body and mind integration.
“Bumble bee breathing,” “ocean breath,” and guided exercises such as
“planting oneself into the earth as a tiny seed” will be introduced to
help children journey inward and connect with their inner self.
