Saturday Yoga Class for Kids in Panorama
September 2, 2011Saturday Yoga
Holistic Kids will be presenting a Kids Yoga class at the Karen Freeman Dance Studio in Panorama for children 3 to 6 years of age two Saturday mornings a month.
Yoga is a natural form of exercise for children because they are supple and aware of their bodies. It is a creative and expressive way for children to exercise. The Holistic Kids yoga programme incorporates traditional yoga movements in a playful and fun way that children enjoy. Please note that there are NO religious or spiritual connotations in the Holistic Kids yoga programme.
