Move and Connect through Yoga!

Join me for a special family yoga class where you'll have fun with yoga poses, games, and more! No prior yoga experience is necessary. The whole family is invited! This class is designed for kids ages 4 and up.

Join me Sunday, September 21 from 4-5 pm.

Your family is invited to wear comfortable clothing they can move around in (i.e., yoga clothes, sweatpants, or other clothing you'd wear to the gym). Yoga classes will be on the gentle side and accessible to all. They are especially created for kids. If you have a yoga mat, you're encouraged to bring it, but I have plenty to share if you don't have one. You will have the opportunity to take off their shoes, so please plan accordingly.

Class is $10 per participant (adults and kids) with a max of $30 per family.

A parent or guardian must register their child and fill out a safety form and waiver prior to arrival (forms will be sent after registration).
