News & EventsKids' Yoga
“For in him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28)
What: A yoga program designed for children ages 3-5 that will focus on the communion of the body, mind, and spirit as a form of worshiping their Creator. The kids’ yoga classes will encourage children to explore, discover, and connect with their minds and bodies in a fun and creative way. Classes will provide a safe and non-competitive environment for children to express themselves, stimulate their imagination, and release their energy with a certified kids’ yoga instructor. Incorporating breathing exercises, stretching exercises, animated poses and visualization techniques, kids’ yoga promotes healthy bodies and teaches kids how to focus, relax, and develop self control. Unlike other kid’s activities, there’s no right or wrong in yoga- no score, no evaluation, just fun!
