yoga for busy kids

“How I Move and Breathe Affects How I Think and Feel”

YOGAPL3Y (yoga-play) is a physical literacy, mindfulness & social-emotional learning program where kids PLAY with yoga poses, movement and breath. Participants build flexibility, strength, balance, coordination and focus while connecting with themselves and each other. Kids get active through a variety of interactive yoga and mindfulness activities that allow them to develop self-regulation strategies, as well as positive social interactions.

YOGAPL3Y Philosophy

The YOGAPL3Y poses and activities are based on traditional yoga and best practices in mindfulness for children. All class components have been combined with the PL3Y philosophy to ensure lessons are fun and engaging for kids! Poses and activities are organized purposefully into lessons to enhance the development of the whole child (mentally, physically & emotionally).

PROGRAMS

YOGAPL3Y PRESCHOOL

Our Preschool YOGAPL3Y classes are specifically designed to meet the developmental level of children ages 3-5. Our interACTIVE classes include weekly yoga themes that are play-based and focus on developing a mind-body connection, as well as teach foundational life skills for social-emotional learning. YOGAPL3Y Preschool classes provide a combination of movement and stillness in a FUN and safe environment where preschoolers can create positive relationships with peers and gain a healthy sense of self.

YOGAPL3Y Kids

YOGAPL3Y Kids allows children ages 6-12 to explore their own physical capabilities in a non-competitive and accepting environment. Weekly themed classes allow participants to experience both challenge and success, and are inclusive of everyBODY. Through our interACTIVE classes, kids PLAY with yoga while strengthening their mind-body connection and their connection with others. Our welcoming classroom environment fosters positive mental health and social emotional learning in children through the 3 RULES OF PL3Y: Be Positive. Be Fun. Be Yourself. Weekly themes combine traditional yoga poses (asana) with FUN activities, games & music and include a balance between mindfulness and movement.
