Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is the cornerstone of our Prenatal Yoga classes, which go far beyond the physical realm of mere movement. Our prenatal program helps mothers-to-be discover a deeper sense of peace and harmony within, lifting blocks of fear, doubt and old conditioning out of pregnancy, birth, as well as life. Developing a meditative mind, she brings this to her birth experience, as well as to her family and home. Our goal... creating a more peaceful world through strong and conscious mothers.

Come share with other women in community, as you strengthen your body, relax your mind, and to trust in your own power and strength.

All women at any stage in their pregnancy are welcome.

MOTHERS, FATHERS AND BABY YOGA
Motherhood and Fatherhood is such a precious gift. Bring your children (up to 3 years old) and join other famiiles, as you and your baby exercise, relax, dance and rejoice together! Kundalini Yoga is an excellent way for a mother to get back into shape quickly, and dads to stay in shape - and to meet other new parents.

As your children stay right by your side, you will move, breathe dance, stretch and strengthen. The children will then join you for their turn with movement, coordinated with songs, dancing and brain development exercises. This time together is so much fun, and creates a great sense of community with other families. A time so precious.

Our little ones are our tomorrow, our future. These classes provide an opportunity for all to come together in an atmosphere that is joyful, setting the foundation for bright minds. Together we are creating a new world!

CHILDREN'S YOGA
Children's Yoga is fun! It sets your child for a lifetime of good health, radiance and happiness! By using nature and animal-themed games, dance and song to stimulate the mind, the creative spirit and enhance the health, our program is a safe and fun environment for children ages 3-12 years of age to expand, explore and express their unique physical, emotional, mental and spiritual gifts.

Classes follow a flexible structure based on the age, interest, and ability of the child. Stories and music accompany our fun and educational "journeys" to exotic lands. The children use their imaginations and Animal Yoga postures to learn new vocabulary, develop motor and movement skills, and to understand balance and relaxation through meditation and breath.

Partner poses and group meditations give children the experience of teamwork and trust with others; naming and teaching their very own yoga poses provides children with leadership and confidence-building skills.

Our Children's Yoga Classes combine yoga postures and meditation to help transform the body, mind and spirit of our young ones, building the foundation for a bright tomorrow for all of us!
