Yoga & Acrobatics for Kids
Strong Bodies- Strong Minds is the theme for this class. The class is full of challenging Yoga poses, strength building techniques; fun partner work; considerable time upside down; some deep stretches then some time to relax.
Partner & Group Yoga Activities encourage bonding; cooperation; consideration; focus & trust. The confidence a child feels when they've achieved challenges with a team is unparalleled
On both days, we will run Acro & Tumbling Workshops specialising in certain skills. We will divide the group by skill and offer beginners programs for kids new to acro; and progressive workshops for children who are already competent in the skills.
Art goes hand in hand with our holiday programming. After hours of tumbling, gymnastics, running around and play... it's great to calm down with our selection of Mindful Creative Projects.
This Spring the theme is Craft and Nature. The kids will have to fossick outside in the park for items to add to their projects.

All drop offs and pickups will be at Willoughby Bowling ST, Willoughby East. Please respect our staff and do not be late picking up children. Please see T&Cs for late pickup penalties.
WHAT TO WEAR
Comfy gymnastics/ yoga style gear that they can move around in and sneakers for park activities. They will be barefoot inside for many activities- so no closed toe tights. Nothing fancy- we use paint; go to parks; love arts and crafts… so something that can come home a little “loved”.
SUN HAT, TOWEL & SUNSCREEN FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Please pack a sun hat for the park and a towel for your child to sit on. We will apply sunscreen to all children prior to walking to the park, if your child uses a sensitive skin sunscreen- please put a tube in their bag and let us know.
LABELLED WATER BOTTLE & EXTRA PANTS + UNDIES
We end up with lots of unlabelled and unclaimed water bottles at the end of each camp, so please pack a labelled water bottle so we can notify you if it’s left behind. Please also pack spare pants, undies and a plastic bags for accidents that occur.
RECESS & LUNCH (NUT FREE)
Please pack a hearty NUT FREE recess and lunch. We kindly request you consider the level of processed sugars in your children’s food as highly sugared up children are hard to manage! We know it’s their holidays and time for fun and treats- but please ensure treats are moderate and ideally healthy!!
TUCK SHOP CHANGE
We have a Tuck shop with healthy food options: yoghurts; oat bars; home made bliss balls; seaweed snacks; apples; pears etc. Please let your children know that if you haven’t provided them $ for tuck shop that we cant give them anything.
CRAFT ITEMS IF SPECIFIED
Check our art project calendar. You may need to bring something from home (normally a jar/ or a bottle of some sort. There’s always one t-shirt design day- so if you pick that day, your child will need to bring an item of cotton clothing)
And the NOT SO SMALL PRINT!
Late Drop-offs and Early Pickups
Please call us on (02) 9386 0031 if you are dropping your children off late or picking them up early. There are some circumstances where we may leave for the park early, or only be getting back to the studio moments before 3 pm. On those days- we will let you know exactly where to pick your child up from.
Behaviour
Please let us know if your child has any behavioural issues. If there are tools to make your child feel at home and welcome, please share them. The less surprises we have- the better able we are to manage a child who finds new activities stressful or confronting. We will also ensure we have the correct staff on board with experience to manage children of varying points of the behaviour spectrum
We have zero tolerance on bullying or aggressive behaviour at any of our programmes. We let the children know this at the start of the day. We don’t give warnings, we will ring a parent to pick the child up. This is for the sense of safety and security of the child being bullied.
Does your child require medication?
If your child requires medication throughout the day, we need you to fill out the following form: https://www.jotform.com/form/202728717217861. Thank you
INJURIES DURING CAMP TIME:
We take every precaution possible to ensure child safety: high teacher- student ratios; first aid knowledge and administrations; setting out safety guidelines each morning. Accidents, however, do happen. And more often with children. While we will look after your child if they hurt themselves; and administer first aid; we are not liable for an injury that may occur to your child by accident during our programs. There will be an injury report to sign.
*IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT AFTERCARE- ACTIVITIES + MOVIE
We are writing this point for the benefit of parents who send their kids to Flying Yogis expecting no screen time at all for their children. We are on your side!! We want to provide the most engaging experiences to get them off screens. For this reason, we no longer pop on a movie at aftercare. Children have the option to do colouring in if they are tired, or continue playing with the teacher. If your child likes to read, pop their book in their back pack too.
Don’t forget to give them enough food for aftercare, or leave a few more $$ for tuckshop
*NOW FOR THE RIOT ACT- ABOUT PICKING UP CHILDREN LATE!!
If you are more than 10 minutes late to pick up your child after 3pm, you will be charged for aftercare ($30). And please please respect our staff . They are exhausted… they want to go home; they may have after work plans;- or at the very least- they need to prepare everything for the next day’s activities.
