Whether your children have never tried yoga before or they’re a pro on their mat, we’ve done some research and put together a list of some the best classes on the internet by zoom, live broadcast and on demand.
Yoga Sprites
Yoga Sprites was borne of the desire to provide our community’s youth with an empowered and confident experience while learning and developing, using yoga and mindfulness.
Yoga Sprites aligns sessions by age and grade to reach children at each milestone developmentally. Our empathic approach to elevating and illuminating our children for best, is brought on by our proactive, stimulating, positive nature!It is a privilege for Yoga Sprites creators and teachers to convey this influence on children. We are integral… And from this, we nurture and thrive in our efforts.
We offer live stream classes 5 days a week. These classes are complementary classes offered by one of four Yoga Sprites teachers to help support your child and family adjust to the learning environment, to satisfy the need to stimulating exercise and wellness, and to re-establish the connection we have shared with the students, engaging using Yoga, Mindfulness, Creative Story telling, Themed sequencing and Breathing exercises.
Cost: September sprites’ series 30 minute virtual live sessions are complimentary.
Kind Kids Yoga
Introducing yoga into a young child’s life can mean that you give your child the start they need to manage emotions, develop cognitive function, balance, focus during school, build confidence, Self-esteem and most importantly, love and kindness for themselves and others.
We offer online classes for ages 5 to 13. During a Kind Kids session, we begin by sharing a moment of gratitude for the day and all those who are in it. We learn important yet fun breathing methods (pranayama) which set the tone for the rest of the class and week!
We learn yoga movements (asanas) which are done with a fun story, to provoke awareness of our body, build flexibility, strength and release physical and emotional tension from the body. Various yoga and mindfulness games are played each week focusing on different elements of yoga philosophy, this is sometimes combined with arts and crafts.
To end the session we lay down into our savasana, where the children are guided on a meditation which allows them to drift into their own imagination.
Join the online subscription to take part in various different styles of yoga, yoga for different times of the day and therapeutic yoga. You can also take part in meditations, mindfulness activities and lots of emotional regulation tools to learn from the comfort of your own home at any time of the day.
