Yoga for the whole family!

GoodYoga is based on the premise that yoga is good for Every Body... with that in mind, Heather is happy to encourage the family to do yoga together!  The following are a few of the classes she holds in the area... or feel free to contact Heather to custom-tailor a class for your own famiy!

Mommy N Me Yoga classes offer a chance for families to bond, while children are impressionable. Like any activity, yoga can be practiced at an early age. As long as yoga practice is supervised, and the teacher is knowledgeable, parent and child will benefit in many ways.

 

Infant (0 months to early movers) Mommy N Me Yoga classes will be 45 minutes with 40 minutes of postnatal practice for Mommy and a 5 minute Infant Yoga and Massage component with relaxation techniques, music and singing.

Yoga classes for children incorporate breathing, music, yoga postures and stretching, stories and relaxation, which benefit children both psychologically and physiologically. 

In a typical class, children will be guided through age-appropriate exploration of yoga movements and activities that decrease stress and anxiety, and increase focus, concentration skills, community building and self-esteem.  During each session, the classs will focus on thematic ideas such as peace, respect, gratitude and healthy living, presented at an age-appropriate level, using children’s literature.  Exploring these topics will help promote a positive and healthy lifestyle.

 

Classes end with visual imagery and relaxation, helping children discover the power of quieting the mind and body. Classes integrate relationship-building activities that allow children to mindfully practice compassion, support and respect in their relationships with others.  Recognizing that positive relationships are the result of a positive sense of self, children are encouraged to look within themselves to discover their own strengths and gifts. 

These classes are designed to strengthen and stretch the entire musculoskeletal system, balance the nervous system, increase breathing efficiency, improve body awareness, encourage the development of communication and social skills, increase each student’s ability to self-regulate, and provide a fun and engaging experience for the whole family. 

All of the sessions are appropriate for children who are new to yoga, as well as for those who are continuing their instruction.

Our Eco-Crafting After School Programs and Camps invite children in Kindergarten through 5th grade to explore creativity, problem-solving, and environmental responsibility through hands-on art projects. Each week, students use found and repurposed materials to design and build unique crafts, learning how to see everyday objects in new and imaginative ways.

​

Guided by a certified kids’ yoga teacher and former elementary and special education teacher, children benefit from an experienced educator who understands how to create a supportive, inclusive environment for all learners. Projects are designed to be accessible and adaptable, encouraging every child—no matter their age, ability, or experience level—to feel successful and proud of their work.

Beyond crafting, the program helps children develop important life skills such as patience, perseverance, and creative thinking. Kids are encouraged to collaborate, share ideas, and take pride in making something both beautiful and useful out of materials that might otherwise be thrown away. Along the way, they gain a greater appreciation for sustainability and learn that even small choices, like reusing what we have, can make a big difference in caring for our planet.

​

Each week, students leave class with a completed project (or the promise to finish the following week), a stronger sense of accomplishment, and new inspiration for how to bring eco-friendly creativity into their everyday lives.

Need a fun, active, and healthy alternative party for your kiddos?  Try a GoodYogaKids! party!  Children will learn the "SunDance", animal poses and sounds, play a yoga game or do a trust activity, participate in guided relaxation, and create a "yoga craft" such as a door hanger or an aromatherapy eye bag.  Adolescents will be guided through a short "flow yoga" class, start a gratitude journal, and do some partner poses.  Parent and Me parties are also available.  All GoodYogaKids parties are scheduled for one hour, including yoga, relaxation and craft activity. Please call or email for rates, which vary depending on the number of children, distance of travel, and type of craft.
