Yoga In the Schools
Yoga is an excellent classroom management tool that can bring "less stress and more success" to students and teachers, fill an extra class period, or serve as an alternative to traditional P.E. As a licensed elementary teacher and YogaKids Trainer, Jessie Forston can bring programs to your daycare, preschool, primary or secondary public, charter or private school today!
YogaKids Pre-School (ages 3-5)
Cats, cows, dogs, frogs and lions all in one class! Kids are natural yogis; come experience our playful approach to yoga. We will have fun and learn by taking the shape of plants and animals, and through storytelling, art and yoga games. This active class helps develop better body awareness, self-control, flexibility, and coordination. YogaKids Grades K-2 (ages 5-8) and 3-5 (ages 8-11)
In these fun and active classes students will explore traditional yoga poses, breathing techniques and relaxation through literature, music, creative art and more! We will build strength, self-awareness, balance and concentration through imaginative play. Students will take the shape of plants and animals and travel to far away lands as we explore such topics as compassion, empathy, inner strength, and peace. YogaKids for Homeschool Students K-5
Same as classes above, but scheduled during the school day and customized (themes, lesson topics) for the students attending. YogaKids Pre-Teen (ages 11-13) and Teen (ages 13-18)
Classes are designed with the pre-teen and teen in mind. Students will learn yoga sequences and breathing/meditation techniques that will help them to find calmness, balance, focus, de-stress and re-energize. We will spend time celebrating our unique selves through affirmations and visualizations. Classes may include creative art activities such as coloring mandalas or creating a set of affirmation cards. All classes will have a theme such as compassion, empathy, kindness, respect and inner strength. Family Yoga
Children and parents (grandparents, aunt/uncles, caregivers…) come together for fun and laughter in a family yoga practice. Experience yoga playfully through cooperative games, music and literature. Learn partner poses, breathing and relaxation techniques, and enhance concentration. This is a great opportunity for the child and parent to come together in a healthy and creative way!
Private Yoga Sessions
Tailored to fit your childs needs, we offer 30 to 60 minute private sessions in your home or our studio. Areas of focus may include concentration, balance, spacial awareness, self-control. We can also customize activities for the whole family to get involved in!
