Classes
Yoga + Mixed Media Color Exploration (Ages 6-8)
Explore the joys of colors and yoga! Students will learn the basics of yoga, explore the color wheel, and how certain colors correlate to emotions and sensations in the body. We will practice yoga in the garden, color, draw, paint and tie-dye to explore the full spectrum of the rainbow and the range of emotions we feel as humans on a daily basis. We will discuss the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic layers that we have, and learn how to activate our "joy body" by doing activities that bring us bliss, light us up and drop us into the present moment.
