Kids, Families & Fun

  • How do we share our passion for yoga with our families?
  • When our our children old enough to come to class?
  • What classes can I go to if I am pregnant?
  • How can I introduce my partner/wife/husband/mom/dad to Heartsong if they are curious about movement and yoga but think that they are not fit/strong/flexible enough? (Or they want to check out that "yoga place" but do not really want to "do" yoga!)

    Here are some of the ways that you can bring the gift of yoga to everyone who is important to you in your life.

    PS...Workshop postponed Yogis for Peace, scheduled for this Sunday, will be held at a later date. Because of the scope of this fun free event, we would need a larger pre registration to make this happen, so that we can do our best work together as a community to play, dance, do yoga, and brainstorm about ways to bring our yoga off the mat and out into the world. Just a gentle reminder also that when you get excited about a program, please give us a call to pre register and help us make these events happen!!

While these classes are appropriate for all levels of pregnancy, please consult your doctor before beginning this practice.
