Yoga Kids Week
at Kali Yuga Yoga
Two Sessions
June 22-26 Jai Hanuman!!
July 20-24 Sri Ganesha

Kali Yuga Yoga opens its doors to host Yoga Kids Week for two sessions this summer! Join us as we explore this ancient practice through the tales of the Bhagavad Gita with our favorite Yogi friends Hanuman, the devoted monkey warrior and Ganesha, the elephant scribe!!

In each session we will follow the adventures of our mythical Hindu characters illustrated through asanas/ poses. As the stories unfold we will discover universal truths about the practice of yoga, the world in which we live and most importantly ourselves.

In the class for ages 4-8 we will focus primarily on creating body awareness through breath and movement, utilizing poses as a way to exercise and explore our imaginations. For the older group, ages 9-13 we will delve deeper into a more mature practice highlighting basic anatomy and learning how to incorporate the asanas and mythical lessons as a way to cope with the stresses and embrace the new experiences of young adult life.

A Note to Parents...

At Kali Yuga Yoga we believe yoga is a great tool for kids to use along their journey through life. Much in the same way we adults utilize yoga to strengthen our bodies, relax our minds, and unite with our hearts, yoga also provides kids with this much needed outlet.

A balanced yoga practice provides kids connect with their bodies in a positive non-competitive way boosting confidence, building self-esteem and promoting an overall sense of well-being. In addition, through imaginative play we help to spark creativity, improve concentration and focus, and release energy in a fun, safe environment. Finally, an active animated yoga practice promotes strength, flexibility, self-control, coordination and an awareness of healthy living.

Through our Yoga Kids Week program we aim to guide children of all ages in the yogic way- teaching them to be self-reliant, kind and respectful to others as well as fostering love for one's self, inside and out.

About Our Instructor, Blair Rowan
Blair has always loved working with kids ever since her first baby sitting job at age 12. She knew she had a knack with children as she was a popular choice for several families throughout her high school years- she even ran day camps from her home during the summer months!! It was through these positive experiences that she went on to pursue a degree at Belmont University focusing on health education for elementary school children. Upon graduation, Blair moved to Colorado where she spent her time teaching swim lessons, working as a full time nanny for twins, and training in yoga. She received her first 200-hour certification from the Shambhava School of Yoga in Fort Collins, Colorado. She then went on and completed a second 200-hour certification from CorePower Yoga in Fort Collins, Colorado. Most recently Blair worked as a yoga instructor intern at CorePower before moving back to Nashville in the summer of 2008. Blair currently teaches youth yoga classes at the Bellevue YMCA and leads several adult classes at Kali Yuga Yoga. She loves watching her students grow in confidence as they practice. Unlike most of the activities in school and sports, yoga is an all-accepting activity. It’s not about competition, but about being your self and having fun. Blair is registered and insured by Yoga Alliance.
