Class Description: 

Settle into some quality time with your child while gaining some yoga & mindfulness tools!   We will explore yoga postures, yoga breaths, partner poses, accessible (and enjoyable!) meditation practices and  emotional & connection tools.  We will laugh, play, connect, stretch, be challenged and rest as an antidote to the busy-ness and multitasking of life. 

Yoga can help with confidence, coordination, sports agility, immune system functioning, sleep, mental health, relationships, and much more.    Learning alongside your child, you can find authentic ways to weave these tools into your daily life.  

Ages: 

For children approximately 6 - 10 with a grown-up.  

Please note: 

These classes will be designed for children who are interested in attending, and who are able to  participate in a group setting.  Some disruption, interrupting, etc. is completely fine and expected.  I 

But if you are looking for tools for a child who would not be able to participate in a group setting (stops the flow of the class for the majority of the time), please reach out to me and I would love to offer support in a different setting instead.   These tools, in addition to some tools around how to set limits and how to hold big emotional releases can be hugely impactful in these situations.  

Days and Times:

Sundays 4:00 - 5:00 pm  (** First one, Oct. 6, starts at 4:30pm **)

Self determined sliding fee scale of $130  -  $175 for one grown-up with one child

Join us to laugh and maybe cry about the insanely difficult job this parenting gig is!  This class will focus on connection, support and good relationship skills.  I am not an expert, nor will I ever claim to be.  

Parenting is incredibly personal.  We all have our world views and values that we want to share with our kids, and we are all healing from the hurts from our own childhood that pop back up with our own kids.  You are the expert on your journey, the unique beauty that is your own kid! 

What I can help with though, is how on earth to communicate with these cute little monsters (who we love more than the world itself).  I know the minds and hearts of littles, and I've spent 20 years studying the inner working of humans.  So I can help you with enhancing your relationship, connection, attunement and your natural intuition with your child(ren).  We will think together about ways your unique relationship with your child could be enhanced by listening, understanding the way young people communicate with us, and learning some tools that may have an influence on how much ease and joy you can find day to day with your child.  

My guidance will stem from my deep knowledge of working with children for 20 years, raising my own two kids (hardest job yet) yoga, mindfulness, non-violent communication, possibility management (energy and relationship dynamics, such as staying in one's center, playing roles like victim) and hand in hand parenting. 

Designed for parents of children ages approximately 1 - 6

Peaceful Heart Parenting Class Registration Form

This is a class for us as parents to breathe, move, take care of ourselves and be in community, AND your child attends with you!  

Half of the space is a yoga floor and the other half is a preschool, so children can join our practice or play.  You can get a little yoga in, settle your nervous system and learn some ways you can practice yoga at home with your kids.  It will be a little busier of course than a typical yoga class, but it will reflect the daily life of a parent, so that you can practice, in real time, staying centered and taking care of yourself EVEN while your child is with you - because they're with us a lot.  :) 

Kids of all ages are welcome.  Babies napping, nursing and fussing.  Toddlers clinging, nursing and attempting to play with other kids.  Older kids who want to do yoga with us, read, draw or play.
