Join us for a unique and playful way to introduce kids — and their grown-ups — to the calming and empowering practice of yoga!
Family Yoga Fun features simple yoga warm ups, songs, and playful movements, including partner poses and creative group games.
Alternating themes and story-based teaching make each class unique and fun. This is a great, accessible way to introduce children (and their adults!) to the practice of yoga. Connect and bond in a non-competitive space that encourages collaboration and cooperation, and cultivates calm and focus for families and the community we create together. The class also includes beginner forms of meditation and relaxation.
All ability levels welcome – no prior yoga experience necessary. BYO yoga mat if you have one, and if not, we have extras! All materials, including any art supplies and props needed, are included.
**This class is designed to meet the developmental needs of 3-7 year-olds. Older siblings are welcome to join in the family fun. It is ideal that each child be accompanied by a participating adult.
YOGA NIDRA WORKSHOP
Gentle Stretching and Guided Relaxation to Refresh, Restore and Renew
Friday, April 19th from 7:00-8:30pm
Experience deeper levels of relaxation than you ever imagined possible.
Yoga Nidra ("Yogic Sleep") systematically uses body sensing, breath awareness, guided imagery and meditative practices to release tension throughout the whole body, to help you switch from flight-or-fight into the relaxation response, your body’s natural healing state. Facilitate deep healing and letting go of everyday concerns, limiting beliefs, and anything holding you back from being your best self!
No previous yoga experience necessary!
Cost: $25 - offered online via Zoom (HYC Monthly Members get 15% off)
If you cannot attend this workshop at the time it is offered, you may sign up and practice with a recording through Sunday, April 21st.
Note: this workshop is offered monthly and will also be held on May 17th and June 14th. :-)

~ Working with body awareness;
~ Using the breath to manage the nervous system;
~ Understanding brain functions and their application to emotional stress and trauma response;
~ Exploring our relationship with thoughts, feelings and problem solving; and

Find stillness and deep relaxation as you bask in the vibrations of sound healing instruments. A Sound Bath uses crystal bowls, Tibetan Singing Bowls, chimes and more to help you access your inner landscape, and tune and harmonize the frequencies within your body.
In this workshop you will be immersed in a soundscape sprinkled with silence, to help you release anxiety and tension as you connect to your most peaceful, natural state of being. Meditating and relaxing while being bathed in the sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls has been shown (1, 2) to decrease blood pressure and heart rate, and increase overall feelings of well-being more than doing so in silence alone.
