Kids ages 11 to 14 are invited to join Argos Gonzalez of Little Flower Yoga for this fun and thoughtful exploration of movement and yoga, emotional awareness, and mindfulness. There are five short (under 15-minute) classes in the program: Movement and Stillness, Five Elements of Yoga, Checking in With Our Bodies, Mindfulness: Here and Now, and Mindfulness: Kind and Curious. All of the classes combine movement and self-observation, giving the kids in your life the joyful experience of moving their bodies and pausing to notice how movement affects them, helping to develop their overall self-awareness.
In a gentle yet engaging way, Argos guides kids through exercises that encourage listening, focusing, chanting, and counting as well as games that develop balance, coordination, and breath awareness. He begins each class with a listening game and closes each class with an affirmation practice (about being happy, safe, healthy, and strong) that’s a little different each time.
This program is a great opportunity to introduce kids to yoga and mindfulness, or grow their skills if they are already flourishing yogis!
