Yoga for a Spirited Child
“Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.” – Rumi
The foundation for this workshop is the firm belief that yoga is mostly about self-discovery and self-acceptance. Our goal is to give parents, teachers, and educators the tools they need to make the practice for their students a joyful bundle of breath work and mindful movements, and to guide the young people to eventually seek the quietness within that the meditation instills in them.
The term “spirited” is defined as lively, vivacious, vibrant, and full of life. In this workshop, we will explore and delve deep into that inner spirit as a driving force on which the uniqueness of each person is built upon. Understanding how to listen to our inner guidance, we will learn to breathe life into the poses by carrying the spirit they represent. That is how the yoga transforms us to be strong, yet humble as a Warrior, grounded as a Tree, mighty as an Eagle, happy as a Baby, and graciously beautiful as a Bird of Paradise.
Tapping into the enormous creative reservoir and imagination that kids have, we will learn powerful techniques to guide the children to be in control of their feelings, thoughts, and emotions: how to turn anger, sadness, or sense of being misunderstood and inadequate into self-acceptance, confidence, and loving kindness.

Let’s Be Kids Together
Let’s all be kids together during this workshop, and step on the yoga mat with the open, pure, and unburdened curiosity of a child. We’ll flow through a sequence of partner and group poses, which will give us a new perspective on how to connect, trust, and support one another. Tapping into the inner child, vibrant and full of life, we’ll learn to mindfully approach each moment with wonder and happy appreciation.
The idea of this workshop is to help you discover how fun and enriching the shared joy of yoga can be, and to inspire you to maintain, through a consistent and regular practice, that special bond with your loved ones at home. Taking a calming breath with your kids, moving mindfully through some playful poses, and enjoying a few quiet and peaceful meditative moments together may become that precious and treasured experience that the whole family looks forward to, day after day.
This class is designed to accommodate all levels, age 6 to adult.
