Children's News: Yoga for children Saturday 26 April

image

On Saturday, 26 April at 11:15 to 12:15, there will be a trial yoga class for children.
Octavia (a born and bred Londoner) from Yogaventuriers https://yogaventuriers.carrd.co/ will be coming and teaching in English. The class will be designed around a story to keep little minds focused. First, a book reading, then going through the story using yoga poses and movement. The classes are lighthearted and fun, getting kids moving in a focused way that they can carry over to different activities. The kids get to practice their English with a native speaker, and we all benefit from creatively moving our bodies. We will provide yoga mats, and this trial class is free for members. If it goes well, we hope to introduce a class every Saturday from September.
This Saturday's Yoga class is currently fully subscribed. Please let know if you'd like to get on the waiting list for future classes.
