Thanksgiving Family Yoga Holiday Program

For Children Ages 4-12

Gauri Devi (Marta Shedletsky)
Registration is closed for this course.
Tuition: $75

While you enjoy free time to practice yoga and relax, your children can experience the ashram through a wide range of activities and classes designed specifically for them.

Led by beloved and creative teachers, children will be introduced to yoga through short asana classes, chanting, crafts, storytelling, lots of games and fun, and Karma Yoga (service/pitching in to the ashram community).

We’ll share stories and legends that illustrate gratitude and many other valuable principles found within the yoga teachings of the yamas and niyamas.

Please note:

  • This program is offered during the adult yoga classes: 8:00am to 10:00am and 4:00pm to 6:00pm.
  • This program is for children ages 4-12. Parents/adults must register separately for our Yoga Vacation Program. Children under 4 are also welcome, and must be accompanied by a parent to the sessions.
