Tips for a Successful Yoga Class for your Child!

Here are some simple tips you can follow to ensure that your child has a safe, fun, successful yoga class!

  • SEND THEM IN COMFORTABLE CLOTHING - If you send your child in jeans or other clothing that is tight or restricting they may have trouble with some of the movements & poses. Make sure to send them in clothes that are comfortable and allow them to move freely. Girls should not wear skirts or dresses. Make sure they remove all jewelry before class.
  • MAKE SURE THE LITTLE ONES USE THE POTTY FIRST! - Please make sure your child uses the bathroom prior to the start of class so that they don't miss anything! Have them go at home, or come a few minutes early so they can use the bathroom here at our studio! We want to make sure we don't have any accidents or discomfort!
  • ARRIVE ON TIME! - Your kids don't want to miss out on one minute of the fun! Make sure to arrive on time for class so you can sign them in and purchase any sessions you may need.
  • TELL US ABOUT ANY HEALTH CONCERNS YOU HAVE FOR YOUR CHILD- If your child has any recent injuries or illnesses, or anything else you feel may be important for us to know, be sure to inform the teacher when you drop your child off.
  • NO FOOD OR DRINK PLEASE! - Please don't send your child with any snacks or sugary drinks like soda or juice! Due to food allergies, and also to protect the mats & floors there is no food or drink allowed in the yoga room. If you want to send your child with a water bottle that is fine as long as it can be closed tightly!
  • HELP KEEP OUR STUDIO NEAT & TIDY! - In order to keep our studio clean for all of our children and parents, please make sure that your children always remove their shoes before entering the yoga room or climbing up on the window seat. Parents please refrain from bringing food into the studio while you wait for your children to finish class. Thanks :)
  • BRING A FRIEND! - Kids love to spend time with their friends, and what better activity to send them too together than yoga! Gather a few of your children's friends and bring them on down to a yoga class! With our flexible drop-in schedule, there is no need to register or call ahead. Just drop in when you want! (Special sign-up classes that require registration will be clearly marked on the schedule)
  • ASK THEM HOW THEIR CLASS WENT! - Kids love to tell you about their independent adventures! When you pick them up from class, be sure to ask how it went, what they learned, who was there and if they had fun! They wont hold back, you will hear it all!
