Kids Yoga with Casey Velasquez
Wednesdays 4-5pm/ Ages 4-12 years old
First class FREE!
When I say breathe, you say deep! When I say stretch, you say
move!
At MindBody Adventure we invite kids to explore their physicality
and feelings through movement, sound and rhythm. In addition to
yoga and mindfulness exercises, this class gives developing yogis
the opportunity to truly understand and express themselves. Join us
and open your minds and spirits to the adventure of life.
Casey Velasquez' Background:
As a young person I found myself more interested in creative play
than competitive sports. Unfortunately, at that time, there were
not many opportunities for these types of organized activates.
Despite my lack of interest, my parents signed me up for the local
youth soccer, baseball and swimming leagues.
As an adult, I have discovered a less competitive, though still challenging and rewarding approach to movement in yoga. This practice not only pushes me to develop strength and flexibility, but also allows for creative exploration in a way that few other practices do.
I teach kids yoga because I want to give young people the options that were not available to me growing up. I think this practice can have a powerful effect on their ability to focus, problem solve and interact socially in a positive way. Most important, yoga gives kids an opportunity to be creative, a little wild, and of course, have fun!
