Children’s lives unfold the wonders of the human experience through the innocence by which they relate to the world around them. As their developing bodies express the evolution of our physiological movement, their yoga practice is a unique interplay connecting the beauty and wisdom of this ancient practice, with their needs and urges of the moment. These classes are a structured rhythm woven together through fun yoga journey of story, song, and verse. The exploration of asana is aligned with awareness of evolutionary movement and observation of the child’s nature movements in free and imaginative play. The instructor will walk your child to the Carlisle School main office at the end of class.
