Flying Yogis
Yoga & Acrobatics for Kids
class description
Family Yogis 2.5-3.5 years + carer
Annandale & Bondi Junction
Yoga balances hormones and manages stress so these courses are an ideal tool for handling the pressures of puberty and school life.
The class runs as follows:
Fun and accessible Yoga poses; agility; flexibilty; concentration games… 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.
Bendybods Preschool 3.5-5 years
Children going to school in 2024 (or 2025 if they are over 3.5; are toilet trained and 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.
Arty Yogis Preschool 3.5-5 years
Kids take flight as this is the first age group done without parents in the studio?*
In our Arty Yogis classes, we work on coordination; agility; flexibility; fun yoga poses; new gymnastic challenges, concentration games and of course ART!
Each week we create a new artwork or craft project to boost creativity and fine motor skills.

Our classes for school aged children are done without parents at the studio.
Flying Yogis Years 2-3

Yoga balances hormones and manages stress so these courses are an ideal tool for handling the pressures of puberty and school life.
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.
Flying Yogis Years 4-6
9-12 Years Old
Starting with mindfulness discussions and a vinyasa style yoga sequence; we then progress to agility skills; then tumbling/ acrobatic skills.- forward/ backrolls
– handstands
– cartwheels/ roundoffs
– variations
– backbends
– walkovers
– kickovers
– introduction to handsprings
– partner acrobatics.
This class mixes that ideal amount of Mindfulness and awareness (that parents want!) with gymnastics and acrobatics (that kids want). It’s also open level so there is no expectation of experience or skill. The teacher tailors each challenge to each child. Our classes work wonders on children with anxiety and are working on emotion management.
Flying Yogis Teens Years 7-12
12-18 Years Old
Our FLying Yogis teens classes are a fun class for kids from yr 7- to year 12 to unwind; destress; stay agile fit and flexible – in good mental and physical shape.
Each week, a mix of flow vinyasa, deep stretches, mindfulness and a few challenges to inspire and help with focus and concentration are taught by teachers with over 10 years experience teaching children of all ages.
Then we move onto the equipment for a fun gymnastics and tumbling session.
The class ends with a weekly meditation.
We also specialise in puberty and adolescent stages, with self awareness, confidence and cooperation serving as huge themes in all our teaching.
Pure Acro Level 1
3.5-5 Years old; 5-8 Years Old; 8-12 Years Old
Children are at their most agile at this age… so the standard can really take off.
This is for the child who wants to learn to handstand; cartwheel; do rolls; bridge poses and work on all sorts of gymnastics skills. They will learn the foundations for all these skills.
Mindfulness relaxation and cooldown follows straight after.
Progressive Acro Level 2
Our Level 2 acro classes allow the students to push themselves and master new skills.
Kids that are confident in handstands, cartwheels, backbends and backbend variations will love this class! They will be given more challenging variations, so proficiency in these skills is a pre-requisite.
This class is great for focused and well behaved kids who can’t wait to try new, tricky skills.
We will assess who is ready for our level 2 program, so please don’t book into the level 2 classes until we have assess them.
Pure Yogis Classes
9-18 Years Old
This class is for kids 9 thru to teen years who just want to focus on yoga. We don’t use the gymnastics apparatus much in this class at all. This class can get quite challenging as the yoga we teach is quite progressive, so it’s by no means the “easy option”…
Prerequisites for this class:
(1) that your child concentrates well
(2) shows interest in vinyasa flow sequences and doesn’t become distracted doing them
(3) listens well and takes adjustments and corrections confidently.
(4) is mindful
if you find your child is “working towards” the above characteristics, please select our regular flying yogis classes for a few terms before asking if they are suitable for this classs. The students in this class are here to concentrate, focus, and work mindfully towards quite a challenging yoga practice.
School Pick Up
Flying Yogis can now pick up children from Annandale Public School and bring them to the studio for their snacks; get changed; colouring in and mindful activities before their class starts.
We should be back at the studio by 3:15pm- so if other families from other schools would like to drop their children in early for some mindful activities before the class, then you can book in and drop them in at 3:15pm
Children should bring their own snacks for afternoon tea.
Cost is $135 for the term, or $15 for casual drop offs. Please let us know via email if you are dropping off casually.
