Frequently Asked Parent Questions

Do parents stay during class or drop off?

For Little Sprouts (4-7 yrs), parents are welcome to relax in our cozy tea lounge right outside the studio door so kids can build independence while knowing you are nearby. For Growing Roots and Rising Trees, parents may drop off or stay in the lounge!

What if my child has never tried yoga or has lots of wiggle energy?

Wiggles and giggles are 100% welcome here! Kids yoga is not about sitting still in silence. We channel high energy through joyful movement games before guiding children gently into calm breathing.
