Join in this movement adventure as we practice yoga poses, learn breathing exercises and participate in fun games all while building gross and fine motor skills! Using stories, music, guided imagery and interactive games, your little yogi will have the opportunity to express him or herself creatively, socialize with other children and increase their movement repertoire. Parents are encouraged to watch class from the store viewing window while their little yogi "practices." Come along as we stretch our bodies to the sky, balance like trees in the wind and play together like a whole team of downward dogs!
Ages: 2-3 years (2.5 year olds seem to do much better with this class than 24-month olds; but it is definitely child-dependent)
