- Mommy & Me Yoga Class
a.k.a. Mom and Tot - This is a fun class for a parent, caregiver, or grandparent to attend with their toddler or baby 2 and under. Adult and child will learn fun yoga poses together integrating the child and adult into poses Fun dancing around the room and singing time. We will read a favorite book, and sing songs while performing different yoga postures. Working with our toddlers, and moving them into fun stretches and positions. A lot of our postures are animal related, and we will integrate the sounds the animal makes into our poses. There are a lot of hugs and kisses, the showing of affection and attention to our child. The key here is to let the child feel free to express themselves, and allow the adult to enjoy this special time with their toddler or baby

Hatha Yoga is an ancient method of total body conditioning, designed to develop strength, stamina, flexibility, balance, coordination and concentration.

Each session begins with asanas, or poses, and concludes with relaxation to refresh the mind and allow the body to rid itself of stress.
