Yoga Club
Movement, Mindfulness, and Play!
Yoga club is a new offering for the 2023-24 school year, designed for students K – 5th, and hosted at The Peace Offering in Truckee, which recently opened this summer and offers a wide array of mindful practices, yoga classes and more.
For our youthful participants, practicing yoga builds strength, coordination, flexibility and when practiced in a group setting is fun, silly and wholesome! Through yoga poses, dance, and play, kids will connect with their breath and bodies. In addition to yoga methods and light workouts, students will dive into art with nature mandalas, participate in active games and practice meditation in this hour-long club.
The class will end with a period of relaxation and calm. This combination of activities promotes physical, mental and emotional wellbeing in kids. This club is sure to inspire, excite and challenge, with some calming elements as well, maybe even a nap is in order by session’s end.
