Class Descriptions:

baby yoga classBaby Yoga (2 months to pre-crawling) is an interactive class for babies, ages 2 months to crawling, and their parents or caregivers. Through song, games, and massage, we introduce basic yoga poses and concepts. Activities increase body awareness, aid in digestion, and cultivate a more relaxed state for the baby.

 

happy kidNew Explorers Yoga (10 – 18 months) - This class is geared toward baby explorers who are moving past a seated position. These young crawlers and walkers will delight in song, stretching, and a discovery of spaces under, over, through and around yoga poses made by themselves as well as their parent/caregiver.

 

tots dancing in circleTots on the Move (18 mo - 2½ yrs) – Physical play joins creativity in this toddler yoga and movement class. In addition to singing voices and stretching bodies, we will stretch imaginations as we fly and slither into new yoga worlds. Early musical rhythm is used as a tool for focusing the minds and bodies of this active age group.

Kids Creative Yoga blends yoga poses with imaginative games, storytelling and friendship-building activities. The end result: a fun, peaceful atmosphere where your child can feel confident to create and blossom. Your child will come away from kids creative yoga more relaxed, focused and expressive physically and emotionally. 

 

 

Circus Yoga for Families (6-10 yrs) - Circus Yoga blends the consciousness of yoga with the communal celebration of circus. Circus Yoga fosters connection, play and communication through , Group Games & Invention, Creative Movement, Circus Skills, Balance, Partner Yoga, and Partner Acrobatics. Some of the core principles we will work from in Circus Yoga classes are Courage, Trust, Listening, Cooperation, and Celebration! We will establish a strong and safe foundation for all skills in this class - no circus, acrobatic, or yoga experience required!

 

Here’s what parents are saying about the kids classes at evolution:

“Just wanted to let you know how much the kids and I enjoyed your class today. We have tried several yoga classes for kids before and they all fell short of my expectations. You are the first teacher I've encountered who not only is a qualified yoga instructor, but also has a strong grasp of what is developmentally appropriate for the kids. We are all thrilled to get to share this experience with you. Thanks!”
-Lauren, Eliza (4 ½) and Rowan (2 ½)

“Thank you for a great class! Finn had a blast and even showed his dad tree pose and down dog when he came home. He really opened up during this class.”
-Tre, mother of Finn (21 months)
