Kids Yoga (For boys and girls ages 6 – 12)
This photo was given to me by Micaela's mom. Doesn't Micaela look amazing? (I wish I could do King Cobra!) Wow!!!
This six week class combines yoga, lots of fitness fun, creativity, share circles, and many “inclusive” yoga games so no child feels left out. This class allows all children to participate at their own level and guaranteed to have fun.
We use lots of fun props such as: yoga balls - cute tiny ones and huge ones, lots of percussion instruments, foam yoga blocks, stuffed animals, agility dots, yoga pose cards, parachute warm up games, and lots of great music that the kids just LOVE!
Some of the fun yoga games that we play: Yoga Bingo, Crab Tag, Bowling for Butterflies, Grow Chop Chop, Duck Duck Yoga Pose, Giggle Gaggle Bubble Waggle, Sun Ray Circle, Snake Escape, Leap Frog Yoga, Shark Roll, Totem Pole Yoga, Go Stop Back to Back, Mini-Golf Yoga, many Percussion games and many more...
Relaxing stories at the end such as: Forest Adventures, Hiking & Lake Adventures, Flower Garden Beauty, Making the Right Choices, Showing Compassion to Living Things, Finding Confidence & Believing in Yourself, Learning Courtesy with Chipmunks, and many more....
Each child leaves with a fun yoga coloring page to enjoy at home after class.
Our mascot is Angel Bear and Sweet Pea during class. Mimi uses many products and ideas directly from Angel Bear Yoga.

What I Provide For Each Class:
A Yoga mat.
Please note: my yoga mats are available free of charge, but are property of the studio, and cannot be brought home. I wash down each mat after each class.
Children can bring their own mat if they'd like.
Check With Your Health Professional if you have any health concerns, and please speak to Mimi before registering.
What to Wear & Bring
Wear comfortable layered clothes: t-shirts, shorts, sweatpants, and sweatshirts. No jeans please. Be prepared to practice yoga barefoot.
Please bring a bottled water to stay hydrated.
It's Best Not To Eat Just Before Class
Tummies need time to digest. Give yourself at least an hour to digest.
Arrive On Time
Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to settle in before class starts. Please avoid being late. Classes start on time. I lock my front door at 10:01 a.m. to avoid interruptions during class. Pick up time is 11:15 am.
Inclement Weather Class Cancellation Policy
If class is canceled due to inclement weather, additional classes will be held on consecutive Saturdays to ensure your child has a total of six classes.
Refund Policy
Refunds will only be given if your child is does not enjoy the first class. You must notify Mimi within 5 days prior to the 2nd class - a $15 administrative fee will be deducted from your refund if applicable.
Refunds will be issued in full if the minimum of 6 children do not sign up.
Missed Classes and Make-ups
No classes can be made up, unless a class is canceled due to weather. Sorry, no transfer of fees to another child.
Does your yoga incorporate religion?
No, absolutely not. We focus on fun and fitness.
Do you use candles like you do in the adult classes?
No, absolutely not.
Do you use sandbags like you do in the adult classes?
No, absolutely not.
Do you give out candy or food?
No. That's a choking hazard. No candy or gum aloud either. The only "food" aloud in the yoga studio is a bottled water or a drink that has a cover.
Do you take photos during class?
No, absolutely not.
What should my child bring?
A favorite blanket, bottle water, lots of imagination and a huge smile!
As a recommendation, necklaces should be left at home so it does not break.
Parents/guardians are welcome to stay and watch on the sidelines or join us for free. Any child with special needs is asked to bring an adult helper for free. If a child consistently disrupts the class, the parent must stay to monitor their child so the other children can still enjoy their yoga experience.
Mimi is a big fan of Angel Bear Yoga and uses many of their quality products. You can even download free activity sheets from
