Miranda Watson’s playful, educational, and engaging class weaves in animal, nature, and humanity-themed yoga postures with storytelling. Each week she brings a book or tells a story with which the kids act out as the story unfolds. Using movement is a form of hands-on learning that enhances children’s literary experience and comprehension of the story as well as encourages self and body awareness and creative and imaginative exploration of their bodies moving through space.

Each class explores music, cooperative games, partner yoga, social and emotional skills building, mindfulness activities, and breathing and relaxation techniques. Miranda’s class will help develop an appreciation for stories, a healthy body, a loving heart, and a calm, focused mind.

Recommended for ages 4-6. Please bring a yoga mat.
