Our Core Values
Nurturing Minds:
We wholeheartedly believe that yoga can help children make the mind-body connection and begin their journey of self-care. We want to help children believe in themselves, understand positive self-talk, and know that happiness is an inside job.
Mindful Movement:
Mindful movement is a playful yet intentional way to help children connect their minds and bodies through movement. It involves guiding children to explore yoga poses and activities with awareness of their breath, balance, and sensations. Mindful movement encourages curiosity, creativity, and a non-competitive spirit, allowing children to tune into how their bodies feel while moving through different shapes and motions. Our hope is for students to connect breathing and movement as a way to calm themselves when big emotions take over.
Inspiring Creativity:
Our classes are a combination of yoga and art to boost creativity. Yoga focuses on the body while art engages the mind creating a wonderful balance between physical and mental activities. Our mindfulness projects inspire students to express their thoughts and feelings creatively with no judgment.
"Nurturing young minds through mindful movement and inspiring creativity."
This reflects the core elements of our program:
Nurture minds: Supporting emotional, mental, and personal growth.
Mindful movement: Encouraging physical awareness, balance, and calm through yoga.
Inspiring creativity: Allowing kids to explore their imagination and self-expression.
