Yoga for Kids

While adults put their minds at ease during yoga practice, kids learn the mind/ body connection and to meet life with breath. Kids learn universal concepts such as breath and calmness, self-control, kindness, resilience, and confidence.

Ages 4 -7 meet on Wednesdays 3:30 – 4:30 pm. Young kids love Yoga! Kids learn yoga through a mixture of yoga poses and stretches, music, games, story-telling, and art. Drop your kids off or stay to observe.

Ages 8 -12 meet on Wednesdays 4:45 –  5:45 pm. Kids at this age focus primarily on the yoga poses and breathing. Kids learn to be both steady and flexible in both yoga and life. However, there is still a good amount of games to play using the yoga postures and occasionally some art to take home.

In this instant gratification society it is wise to give your kids the gift of yoga at an early age!

Series consists of 5 one hour classes for only $50.00.
First Series:  May 6th, May 13th, May 20th, May 27th, and June 3rd
Yoga for Kids at TriYoga Boston in Waltham

Tanglewood Marionettes “Cinderella”  -A classic fairy tale told with wit and style, the story unfolds as the pages of a giant book open to reveal each beautifully painted setting, featuring lavishly costumed marionettes. All your favorite characters are here, from gentle Cinderella to the bumptious stepsisters and the charming prince, but we do offer a few new surprises: Cinderella’s method of conveyance to the ball is NOT the traditional horse-drawn coach, and, when all hope seems lost, a clever little bluebird saves the day for Cinderella.

Saturday, May 9th: 10:00 am
Tickets: $10 per person or $25 for family of 4. www.newtoncommunityprice.org/festival

Rock-A-Baby with Siagel Productions  -After “Cinderella”, jam out with the Siagel celebrity puppet band to music that will get you on your feet and the whole family groovin’!
