Yoga & Acrobatics for Kids
Children going to school in 2024 (or 2025 if they can be left at the studio without a carer)
Kids take flight as this is the first age group done without parents in the studio?*
In our Bendybods classes, we work on coordination; agility; flexibility; fun yoga poses; new gymnastic challenges and concentration games. Stories about mindfulness and other yoga philosophies are introduced in fun ways. We also sneak in little lessons associated with literacy and numeracy. They’ll not only be able to spell and count, they’ll be able to do it with their bodies!
*Children progress better this way. If your child isn’t ready to do classes without carer present, we have increased the number of Family classes- which is a fun class to do with parent/ carer.
Bendybods is a course for Kindy – Yr 1 children. It’s on the active side including:Â
salutes; yoga poses; tumbles; gymnastics drills & circuits; lessons in Mindfulness & awareness and we always end with a meditation.
On the mental side the courses focus on: improving concentration & focus; consideration & cooperation; trust; fearlessness; open mindedness…
Our classes for school aged children are done without parents at the studio.
Yoga balances hormones and manages stress so these courses are an ideal tool for handling the pressures of puberty and school life.
Â
The class runs as follows:
Yoga inspired sequences; vinyasa flow; agility; flexibilty… and of course, what we’re famous for; all the gym techniques that kids love (tumbles; flips; handstands; backbends- and crazy acro maneouvres).. We’re also excited to be introducing GYmnastics to this group with our growing amount of apparatus.
Our yogis are able to do vinyasa flow sequences and we start to correct their form in various postures.Â
Throughout the class we sneak in various aspects of yoga philosophy such as Mindfulness; awareness; karma; forgiveness; acceptance; community; confidence and inner power.Â
Our classes always include fun games; gymnastics and acro skills and apparatus circuits.Â
The class always end with a meditation or mindfulness activity
Children are at their most agile at this age… so the standard can really take off.
Firstly we instill focus and concentration skills via 10 mins of breathing and yoga. Then we work on various tumbling skills according to the child’s age and abilities, such as:
Rolls; handstands; cartwheels and variations; backbends; walkovers; somersaults; handsprings.
Mindfulness relaxation and cooldown follows straight after.
Our Naremburn Classes are located at GPower Dance 272/274 Willoughby Rd, Naremburn NSW 2065
