Have you ever considered yoga for your child but thought, “How can he/she possibly sit still long enough?” If so, you’re not alone; the good news is, yoga for children is much different than the yoga you may have experienced, as a parent/adult.
Yoga for children, and more specifically, StoryogaTM, recognizes and embraces the need to move, express, explore, expend energy, and ultimately - have fun! StoryogaTM has been designed to
meet these needs through a playful and interactive method, using story, yoga, songs, poems, puppets, games and visualization exercises to engage one’s creative spirit.

What sets StoryogaTM apart from other kids yoga classes, is the intelligent paring of “story” and “yoga,” whereby picture books are used as inspiration to frame early yoga poses and beginning breath work. In this way, animals and characters are taken from story and brought to life through body, shape, sound and movement!
Through a unique blend of story and yoga, children are exposed to a wide spectrum of benefits to foster their physical, mental and emotional well-being. On the physical level, yoga develops strength, balance, coordination and overall body awareness. For the mind, StoryogaTM encourages focus and concentration while fostering imagination and creativity. Finally, embodying the spirit of yoga, StoryogaTM nurtures inner-strength, self-esteem, and an overall love for oneself inside and out!
What do parents have to say about StoryogaTM?
"Carleigh wanted me to tell you that she loves coming to your classes because she has so much fun colouring, reading stories (especially when the little puppets come to visit) and the yoga is great. She shows us all the new things that she has learned when she gets home from class. She also has said that she loves coming to the classes because you are a great teacher and you make every class lots of fun." - Tracey, Sidney BC
What do children have to say about StoryogaTM?
"I like doing the downward dog and the pom-pom blessing. I like yoga because it is good for your body & we learn about nature." - Lucas, age 6
