'Tweaked' Activities
I can be contacted to work with individuals or small groups privately for a nominal fee within the Houston area. My classes are approximately an hour and are designed around the child's needs. The format includes: modified yoga, games, art, turn-taking/social skills and educational skills such as math and science.
I can also be contacted about teaching sampler YK classes to groups of adults who would like to integrate yoga into their child's day.
If YogaKids certification is an interest to you, here is more information on the organization.
YogaKids classes help kids connect mind and body to experience a natural state of fitness, fun and feeling great. Each YogaKids class is comprehensive, age appropriate, theme-based, and integrates movements, poses and non-competitive games in the unique YogaKids method. Classes close with guided visualization and deep relaxation, leaving kids calm and centered.
YogaKids classes instill and develop:
• Health and well-being
• Creativity and self-expression
• Strength and flexibility
• Confidence and self-esteem
• Concentration and attention span
• Inner calm, relaxation and improved sleep
Sounds great, right? It’s true. Research has proven that a consistent yoga practice helps children stay grounded and eases their way through daily stress. YogaKids classes are the perfect balance to other after-school sports, recreational and educational activities.
