Smiling Tree Kids’ YOGA in Sebastopol

Gail — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:48:24 +0000

I’m pretty excited to say I’ll be offering two kids’ Yoga classes at the Sebastopol Community Center begining in January 2012. This should be fun. The classes will be on Mondays 2:30-3:15 for 4-6 year olds and 3:30 – 4:30 for 7-9 year olds. It’s a ways off so things could change but I’m excited……more details to come!

I’m starting a new round of kids’ yoga. Right now I’m at The Healdsburg School. Next week I’ll start my privates and the preschool class at Beth Ami. Hopefully I’ll be adding another kids’ class at Solstice Studio soon. Here are some photos from my last class at Solstice.

This was such a fun group. I hope that once the dust settles all my little yogis will be back for more yoga.

From regatta 2011

I had fun at the Handcar Regatta last Sunday. This is the third year I’ve helped out at the Sono-ma family support tent. Holly (Sono-ma) does a great job providing support to families with young children. At her tent moms and dads can take a break from the festival to change their baby’s diaper, have a drink of water, a piece of fresh fruit. She also has toys for the older childen to play with. Moms appreciate a place to nurse their babies in a private place away from the crowds. My “job” has been to let passing families know we’re there for them and invite them to take advantage of everything Holly has brought for them.

In keeping with my yoga classes I invited people who passed to strike a pose……tree pose. Most everyone who humored me by taking the pose made it a “smiling tree”. Here are some of the fun people I saw at the festival.

Kids’ Yoga @ Solstice Studio, Santa Rosa

What a sweet class we had today. I’m loving the studio. As I’ve mentioned before I’ve been teaching yoga to kids all over town , in class rooms and conference rooms and libraries and while fun, the venues are not quite right. The studio is subdued with few distractions, easy access to the bathroom (important with kids) even a sound system and may I mention, easy parking! One of the mom’s kindly sent me these photos, aren’t they sweet.

Another Day in Paradise

This week the weather’s been perfect. A little overcast in the morning just cool enough for me to serve tea to the moms then clearing by 10:30am so we can have beautiful sunshine through our colorful parachute. We did some marble painting, worked on a two day mosaic project played in the water, played in the gravel, picked some strawberries and at least a couple kids had fun “painting” the cement with the bucket of water and paint brushes….ahhh simple pleasures
