Regardless of what stage of life

It should help us to live with

READ WHAT SOME PARENTS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THESE CLASSES:
...A big Thank you to Mickey, Laura and Rick for running Kids Yoga.
Natasha is loving it, she comes home in a serene mood, re-enacting the things she did in class. Her habitual behaviour of crying whenever I leave her is not occurring at yoga and is drastically improving in other areas. We often practice together at home for a short time - it is a great way to bring her back into the ‘now’ when she is on the edge of a tantrum. I can see her confidence in participating in a group building each week, thanks to the extreme calm and intently interested way Mickey and Laura interact with the kids. This class is exactly what we were looking for; soulful building blocks for young little sponges. Self-regulating skills to add to the toolkit you need in life. The thought and effort the teachers put in to the class with props for each themed class, takes the kids on a journey using all their senses. It is so much more than yoga in terms of the lay person thinking of the kids doing poses. This is a magical experience tapping into the kids inner selves and having the free space to explore and express their true selves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Big Thanks
Mardi

...Charlotte absolutely loves going to her yoga class and out of the blue at home she will "strike a pose" as a flower and ask me to smell her and pick her so it's wonderful for the postures and her imagination! A wonderful contrast to other classes she attended last year!
Micky is wonderful going from the feedback from Charlotte and is always warm and friendly - a lovely male energy!
His classes really seem to ignite the imagination and also teaching the fundamental poses and introducing meditation with energy to the children!
Meredith


..she came out of the class wanting to do go home and do more yoga. She had a smile on her face the whole evening.
Verica

...My 12-year old son started doing yoga with Rick last year. He enjoyed the classes and came back feeling great. It's had a wonderful effect on his general demeanour, his confidence and, I think, on helping him with some mild anxiety. Not to mention, he can now touch his toes!
