Kids Groove Class 

Kids Groove believes that music inspires the movements that are taught, as well as the way each kid moves in their own unique way. This IS NOT meant to be a technical "dance class", but for kids to enjoy movement through music. Simple movements allow everyone to be successful. The class provides a safe and fun environment to explore the possibilities of movement so each child has the opportunity to find their own unique way to move. This class will help kids increase mobility, flexibility, strength, and can help improve their physical and mental health through the positive benefits of music and dance.

Kids Groove Yoga

We are combining our Kids Yoga with the Groove Method technique where we’ll get moving to fun music wiggle, shimmy, shake and dance to our own dance! Blissful Kids Yoga and Groove is designed to focus on the process, not an outcome. Helping Kids find balance, relax, and most importantly, have fun, while developing self-control, better body awareness, coordination, and flexibility. Students are encouraged to make a pose or movement their own, and not focus on an end, finish line, or final goal. We approach yoga as play, and adding the grooving, we make movement and fitness fun, creating a lifelong love of physical activity. Everyone is successful in Yoga Groove, so we begin to foster an environment for improved self-esteem and confidence, where creativity and imagination can be expressed. This is accomplished through games, dance, share circles, mindful movements, breath work, and visualizations that help move energy and breathe through the body as we calm our minds.

Grade: 3rd-5th

Ever thought of teaching the kids in your life something that’s good for them and have it be good for you too? Try doing yoga together! Yoga helps kids and adults get in touch with their bodies, strengthen and relax muscles, and develop coordination, focus, and confidence. This summer we are offering two sessions, one for kids 4-7, and one for kids 8-12, AND their parents, relatives, or other caregivers. Take time to discover yoga in an easy going, fun, and energetic environment. During the class we will move our bodies, minds, and breath in traditional and not so traditional yogic ways. Come ready to chill out, enjoy time together, and explore! No yoga experience necessary. Instructor: Kelsey Newman
