Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that’s non-competitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion, instead of opposition, is a great gift to give our children.
Begin a journey that opens the mind to new ways of thinking, soothes the soul through calming techniques and meditation, and exercises the body for a complete well-rounded self - Add art, journaling, music and field trips and your kids will be hooked on Yoga for Life! You know how complete you feel after a good class at the Center - this is the best gift to offer your child.

Testimonials:
“Judy’s yoga class for my second and fourth grade girls has been impressive at the very least. Both girls come home with ‘an attitude of gratitude’. My older girl, especially, seems to be latching on to the idea of Karma. She reminds herself to do good deeds without expecting anything in return and undoubtedly she always realizes some reward that she magically receives. As for my younger daughter, it’s heart warming to see her pull her mat out on the back deck and meditate for several minutes in ‘flotus’ (full lotus). To have her do any one thing for more than a couple minutes is something, let alone sit still and quite herself. I believe they are learning some great life skills and I will continue to send them. They love it.”

“Our daughters midweek yoga class brings sanity to our busy lives! She is happier and more focused, which brings overall harmony to our entire family dynamic. Judy makes class fun and lighthearted while giving our children tools to cope with the many demands of our busy schedules. Yoga is not just for stressed out Mommies! Thanks Judy, We love Wednesdays.”

“Judy Brennan teaches yoga in our fourth grade classroom. She comes in once a week and teaches the children different movements as well as educates them about the history and purpose of yoga. The children love her classes! Not only do they learn strengthening and stretching exercises, but more importantly they learn how to calm their own minds, a skill essential to anyone. The children get exercise during her classes and seem refreshed, calm and more focused after the class. It is magic to watch Judy in action. Her warm, calm, and informative style is engaging for the children, and keeps them all incredibly focused through the whole 45 minutes.”
