Families with preschool aged children are invited to join instructors from The Yoga Garden for kids' yoga!
About the class:
In this class, children will learn yoga poses, breathing, and relaxation exercises which cultivate a calm mind, increase strength and flexibility, improve gross and fine motor skills, improve concentration, and help them understand how to identify and manage their feelings. Stories, music, and games will be incorporated into this fun, non-competitive class. Each class ends with a period of relaxation.
About the instructor:
Amanda Barnes has a degree in Early Childhood Education and 14 years of experience working in the education field. Amanda is currently a Director for Primrose Schools. She is also certified in CPR and First Aid. A Pittsboro native who was always active and involved in sports, Amanda took her first class at Yoga Garden in 2019 and instantly fell in love with Yoga. She immediately began a regular and dedicated practice. Teaching has always been one of Amanda’s passions, so she enrolled in Yoga Garden Pittsboro’s 2022 yoga teacher training and graduated in October. Amanda loves combining her passion for teaching children with the many amazing benefits of yoga.
