Kid’s Yoga
Our yoga classes for kids help children foster a mind/body connection. They learn movement, poses, breath work and mindfulness. Whether it’s imaginative storytelling for little yogis or putting together poses, each class is rooted in breath, presence, and community. Programming is led by Tara Sussman of Tara Sussman Yoga, who the children lovingly call Yogi Tara. Her warm, thoughtful approach helps students of all ages feel supported, grounded, and inspired—on and off the mat.
This unique 45-minute class fosters a sense of community and connection, where children support and uplift one another through their yoga journey. Connect with your mind and body in this safe and nurturing environment designed specifically for children ages 5-10 years old, blending the joy of playfulness with the power of mindfulness and breathing techniques.
Each session begins with a warm- up and then a story that is carefully crafted to engage young minds and ignite their imagination. As the story unfolds, the children are encouraged to embody the characters, animals, and elements of the narrative through yoga poses and movements. The class is not just about physical movement but emphasizes the importance of mindfulness and breathing techniques to calm the mind and body. Throughout the class the children are gently guided to focus on their breath, learning to connect with the present moment and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
They discover the power of deep belly breaths, learning to use their breath as a tool to navigate through challenges and find balance. This class will teach your child to listen to their bodies, honor their emotions and embrace the beauty of stillness. Each class will end with a relaxation and meditation exercise to help the children experience moments of quiet and learn how to manage stress and anxiety.
