Kids yoga in Morningside Gardens is about to start! These classes are for 4-7 years old.
It will take place Fridays 4:00-4:45 pm in 80 80 Lasalle St., Thurgood Marshall Room. (Between Broadway and Amsterdam)
The classes have a strong emphasis on music as a way to make yoga really fun. Songs are choreographed with yoga poses. Children jump like rocket ships, stand like trees, fly like butterflies and swim like fish, whales and sharks. The classes incorporate individual, partner and group poses and games as well as breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation.
Kids yoga has numerous benefits. On the physical level, it develops coordination, strength, flexibility and balance. But it can also contribute to improved focus, concentration, ability to stay calm and relaxed and it can develop imaginative play, self-esteem and body awareness.
Tuition: $150 for the 10 weeks ($100 for second child). Pay by Check (Sonia Pereira) or cash.
Dates: Classes start on Friday September 20th and run for 10 weeks. First class is free. (Sept. 27th; Oct., 4,11,18, 25; Nov. 1, 8, 15, 22,29)
