TINY YOGA - Come out and play at this yoga class for the tiny members of your family.

For non-walking babies: Parents and caregivers can enjoy some quality contact time with baby. Learn some postures and movements that will enrich your everyday activities with your baby and spice up your baby playtime. We will also explore a few gentle movements to help release the tension from daily babyholding. This class includes those who are beginning to practice crawl but who are not yet mobile.

For walking babies: As baby's mobility increases, this Tiny Yoga session includes their physical explorations. Walking babies become more confident as they practice yoga both in and out of class. We'll practice yoga postures while standing, sitting up, crawling, and toddling.
