Course	Ages	Time	Description
Courses are subject to change.
Pig Tails	Children ages 2 - 3 and a Parent/Caregiver	45 minutes	Limited to 10 participants. This heartwarming class introduces yoga to young children (and grown-ups), as parents and children team up to bring stories to life in our magical studio. Developmentally-appropriate activities using props, music and art promote speech and language development, listening skills, and motor coordination, along with all of yoga's wonderful health benefits. Kids will delight in the games, stories, and activities, while adults will learn to stretch their imaginations and let their hidden yogi pop out. Partner Fee Required.
Fish Tails	3 - 5	45 minutes	This class is for potty-trained future yogis who can be "dropped off" for a 45 minute yoga class. Fish Tails is designed for children who are gaining control over their little bodies and realizing all the wonderful things they can do by themselves! Yoga can help children of this age develop a strong sense of body awareness and coordination. This class introduces Hatha yoga poses and breathing exercises in a fun and inspiring environment that fosters independence, participation, age-appropriate problem-solving skills, imagination and creative development.
Puppy Tails	6 - 8	45 minutes	6-8 year olds' increased awareness of how their bodies move allows for a wider range of yoga activities than our younger classes do. Puppy Tails is designed to promote self respect, self confidence and a healthy lifestyle for boys and girls. This class provides students with a more robust approach to yoga, including partner poses, group yoga poses, yoga breath work and meditation. Like all Yoga Tales classes, age-appropriate stories provide fun points of entry to the benefits of yoga, and the class' cooperative elements improve children's social skills.
Lion Tails	8 - 10	45 minutes	Lion Tails introduces a sophisticated level of yoga, in which the students help to guide the class and focus on the aspects of yoga that they enjoy the most. By working together in a safe environment, students gain confidence in peer settings as they work on strengthening muscles, improving balance, and increasing flexibility. This class teaches techniques that kids can learn and perfect in class, then employ on their own, anytime, anywhere.
Cat Tails	6 - 10		Designed for siblings to take together. This class combines elements from Puppy Tails and Lion Tails to create a class with a fun and loving atmosphere that helps brothers and sisters improve their appreciation of one another.
Tween Zone	10 - 13		Our classes for older kids focus on the many issues that teens and tweens face in their lives. These kids' innate agility allows us to practice a deeper level of yoga. This class helps to promote self confidence, self-worth and a positive body image, while providing stress management techniques to ward off teen depression and help kids survive the teen years. Special activities such as journaling, aromatherapy, acupressure, meditation and visualization, are practiced in an environment that is conducive to open and candid discussions about the subjects that matter to tweens and teens. Materials Fee Required.
Teen	13 - 18
Mother-Daughter Yoga	8 and up		A bonding experience that mothers and daughters will cherish and remember forever, as female family members come together to learn yoga. This class covers all aspects of yoga-working on the body, mind, and spirit, including partner poses, promoting spirituality in the family, and opening lines of communication by building trust and the feminine bond. Partner Fee Required.
Family Yoga	3 and up		Limited to 12 participants Yoga's adaptability makes it one of the few forms of exercise that offers a workout that the whole family can do together, at each family member's own pace. This participatory class for all age and skill levels encourages parents to perform challenging poses while their kids play their way through fun animal poses in front, behind and under them. Family yoga is an ideal group activity that will bring families closer together!
Sports Yoga	8 - 12		In this class each yogini will learn how to incorporate yoga into their game of choice (soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball, golf etc) to improve their overall game skills. This 45 minute class will concentrate on yoga breathing techniques to increase stamina and concentration along with challenging stretches that will improve strength, balance and flexibility. Yoginis must bring their sports ball to class for added fun!
Happy Hour	Moms and Babies up to 3 years		A live chat room! Parents and children are invited to bring a bag lunch and join us in our baby-proofed studio for some downtime where everyone is invited to relax and talk about their parenting experience.
Hip Hop Yoga	8 - 10		Come get your groove on! Kids will learn "MTV style" techniques and choreography in a non-competitive environment. Have fun dancing thru postures while yoga will naturally help build strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. These yoginis will learn breathing/relaxation/visualization techniques for energy, stress relief and self-expression. There will be a final show at the last class of the session.
Musical Yoga	6 - 10		Dance! Sing! Do your thing! Musical Yoga integrates breathing relaxation techniques with cutting edge music and movement. The focus of this class is using music as a tool to facilitate skills necessary to focus, meditate and express oneself in a non-competitive environment.

This is the perfect class for spending time with your baby while getting some exercise and peace of mind.
