All classes include traditional asana, pranayama, relaxation and concentration techniques which are varied to suit the needs of each group. Play, games, stories, creative art and music are used to explore yoga, making the classes fun and imaginative.
 
Dragonflies - parent and toddler group - parents or carer and children practice together.
This class encourages play and can be a wonderful bonding experience. Sometimes the parent provides passive movements to the child and at other times the toddler begins to imitate the parent. Toddlers explore and learn about the world through their senses. They love imaginative play and repetition of favourite songs and movement. These classes are fun and interactive with both child and parent, meeting both sets of needs.
 
Monkeys - 7 to l3year olds.
These classes consist of a mixed group of children who are energetic, becoming stronger and more agile. They are ready to learn good technique in the postures, which are infused into a story or theme. There is a great deal of emotional development taking place in this age group so friendships take on greater significance. This is why circle time works well in this group, as they love to chat. The class atmosphere ranges from loud and energetic to peaceful, quiet and calm.
 
Eagles - l3 to 16 year olds.
A time of many changes for this age group, these classes explore the use of yoga techniques for stress management which is invaluable as they move towards exam time. They enjoy a more challenging posture session and relaxation is always welcomed at the end.
