Spring Yoga Fun!
~ The divine in me salutes the divine in you ~
Birds chirping, a breeze coming through my windows, the lightness of flip-flops and a sweatshirt – spring is certainly in the air. I am excited to announce so many springtime yoga opportunities, including two escapes from the ordinary: a Springtime Afternoon Retreat and a full-day Art and Yoga Retreat! I will also be offering two Dharma Yoga Wheel Pop-up Classes for those interested in learning how to use their yoga wheel to flow with their practice. Thinking ahead to Mother’s Day I’ve added a shared yoga practice for mothers and their tweens/teens happening in May.

Tots on the Move (Strong Walkers to 3 years) at Wildflowers Studio (as part of Evolution Prenatal & Family Yoga Center)
Thursdays, May 3 – June 14
9:00-9:45AM
7 Week Session $90
Preregistration required. Register Online Here
Physical play joins creativity in this toddler yoga and movement class for strong walkers to age 3. With singing voices and stretching bodies, we will stretch imaginations as we fly and slither into new yoga worlds. Early musical rhythm is used as a tool for focusing the minds and bodies of this active age group.
This class serves as a bridge toward more direction-following classes such as our Kids Creative Yoga or our Preschool Yoga. We realize that all children have different capacities for led group activity at this age, and Evolution yoga teachers work with parents to create a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for growth and experiential learning. The upper age range for this class overlaps with our next level classes in order to give parents/guardians additional choices about which class seems right for their child.

Nature Yogis love to do yoga outside! This spring we will explore all things nature (butterflies, bugs, worms- oh my!). Yoga poses, mindfulness activities and more will round out this preschool yoga class focused on nature and science concepts. Weather permitting, we’ll adventure outside to romp through the Lang Farm fields and salute the sun with grass under our toes. Please note- this is a drop-off optional class. If parents drop off, they must stay on the premises.

Enter through the side pool door (around the back) of the Essex PT Building. Don’t forget to bring along a bottle of water and hand towel!
