Pizza Party: Yoga Class for Kids

Instructor Lisa Detamore hosts this kid-centric exercise program featuring a group of children in a preschool-style setting. Kicking off with a warm-up that features the young participants doing “hummingbird breath,” “airplane pose,” and “twisting star,” the core of Yoga Class for Kids lies in a 20-minute routine with sun dance (“Hello sun, hello toes, hello friends!”), rain dance (with kids grabbing a raincloud and throwing it up to the sky), dragon (breathing fire out), crocodile, snake, and frog poses. Incorporating sing-song instruction, positive reinforcement (“I like how high your knee is!”), sound effects, and fun interactive interpretive moves such as “make a pizza” (mimicking rolling the dough, opening the oven, etc.), the program ends with a breathing and finger-wiggling relaxation segment along with a group song. Designed for ages 4-7, this is recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
