Learn how caterpillars transform into butterflies while practicing a mini yoga flow!
Walking back and forth in Downward Facing Dog as a little caterpillar builds strength in the arms and core. Hanging loose in Forward Fold decompresses the spine and sends oxygenated blood back to our brains. Balancing on one foot in Warrior 3 is a developmental milestone for young children and builds tremendous focus and strength, as well as self-confidence. And finally, connecting our movements with our breath is calming and focusing for our central nervous system.
Children can practice the challenging Camel Pose in our original song about a hot desert land. Camel Pose is a deep yoga back bend that opens our chest and stretches our front body as it strengthens our back body. We connect our breath to movement here to ground and open.
At the beginning of every class we sing a hello song together. Singing in multiple languages develops language skills and social-emotional learning! Adding a twist gently awakens the internal organs.
Bonjour! In our French Fleurs song, kids can practice balancing in Flower Pose while singing in French. Some students speak French at home and some are learning it for the first time. Learning languages builds new pathways in our brains and assists with social-emotional learning!
