Little Flower Yoga
Mission:
Little Flower Yoga is a unique organization that specializes in developing engaging education based yoga programs for schools and youth organizations, as well as training teachers to use yoga activities in their classrooms.
Yoga is a multi-dimensional approach to addressing the interrelated physical, cognitive, emotional and social needs of youth. Created by an educator, our programs incorporate learning goals throughout every class, and our instructors take advantage of the many teachable moments that occur in each session.
Little Flower Yoga challenges students to learn in new ways, make connections, and recognize their tremendous capacity to achieve. We always encourage communication, creativity and laughter.
We create customized yoga-based programs that address topics ranging from literacy development to confidence building to nutrition and health education.
Programs are available for all age groups, from two year-olds through High School, as well as pre- and post-natal, parent-infant and adult classes.
