Classes
I have loved taking my 2.5 year old daughter to Bija family yoga. We have been going for a few months
and we both love the class. Everything from doing downward dog together to holding each other's hands
in tree pose, to having her "massage" my back during relaxation. It is both a wonderful way for her to
learn some yoga as well as a great way for us to interact. My favorite part might be her putting her hands
together and saying "namaste" at random times... Emma, mom to Lucia

Little Lotuses Yoga (crawling - 3 yrs)
This class introduces the basics of yoga to our tiniest yogis in a creative and active way.
Circle time, storytelling, animal poses and parachute games are incorporated into the
curriculum making the yoga practice fun and accessible. Breathing techniques, bubbles
and relaxation help the little lotuses to focus and find calm. Classes improve coordination,
balance and increase strength. Please note: while yoga experience is not necessary,
parents/caregivers are an integral part of this class and should come ready to participate.
Down Dog I, II (3 yrs - 9 yrs)
Down Dog classes introduce children to the practice of yoga. Yoga poses and principles
are explored in a variety of fun ways. Nature, basic anatomy, and imagination are all key
aspects of the class. Children are encouraged to explore the way their bodies move
through creative projects, collaboration, story time and songs. Chanting, breathing
exercises and simple meditation practices relax and calm the mind. Each class finishes
with relaxation, something the little yogis come to look forward to! No prior yoga experience
required.
Family Yoga (walkers +)
Family Yoga classes are designed to bring this beautiful practice to everyone. Each class
will provide tools, games and poses that can be practiced at home with kids of all ages.
Through group and partner work, games, breathing practices and more, beginner and

coordination and flexibility. Meditation, chanting and relaxation techniques are incorporated
into each session. No yoga experience necessary. Adult participation is required.

exploration. Weekly classes are progressional and include individual and collaborative
projects presented in an age appropriate and fun way. A variety of medium will be explored
including paint, clay, paper mache, ink and more. Reclaimed and recycled materials are
used whenever possible and students are encouraged to view life as a catalyst for creation.
