Yoga is a fun-filled way for kids to cultivate self-esteem and body awareness. By mimicking animals and shapes in nature kids develop strength, flexibility, coordination and an appreciation for our environment. Children imagine and experience the qualities of other beings—the strength of a wise, old tree; the confidence of a lion; the grace of the wind; the speed of the F train! As kids indulge in imaginative yoga play they learn to focus, to cooperate with peers, and to use their breath to find peace in a stressed out world. Most importantly, children carry these tools into their daily lives!

Bend & Bloom offers age appropriate classes tailored to kids developmental stages. We strongly encourage you to sign your child up for a seasonal session and offer a discounted rate for pre-registration. Our classes build on the previous weeks so a session allows your child to experience and absorb all the fun, friendship, and learning B&B Kids has to offer. Our teachers work to develop relationships with each child and to know their unique needs and personality. If you miss a class our flexible policy allows your child to attend any other age appropriate class (including family classes) within the session in which they are registered. If your schedule does not permit a seasonal commitment then you are most welcome to drop-in for a single class.
