Take Root Yoga: Stretch Grow Play

Starting in November, Take Root Yoga will provide a wholesome after school activity for children.

Classes will be separated into three sections: seed, sprout, and tree to mimic the natural cycle of an apple tree. The children will discover the basics of yoga combined with seasonal inspired themes and organic methods to help children incorporate elements of a yogic lifestyle into their lives on and off the mat. Tailored for ages between 5 and 7 with no yoga experience needed.

$15.00 per class or $40.00 for 3

Take Root’s Anna Hieronimus first started doing yoga for the same reason most people do: she wanted to be happier and healthier. She quickly discovered that practicing the postures and breathing exercises allowed her to tune in with herself, improved flexibility, strength and stamina, reduce stress, and allow for a stronger sense of concentration and creativity. 

As a graduate of the Kripalu School of Yoga, Karma Kids Yoga, and the Om Yoga Center, Anna recognizes that just as everyone’s body and personality are different; every yoga practice has to be unique. She has taken particular pleasure in teaching children, constantly impressed with their innocent wisdom and willingness to Stretch Grow and Play. Whether their practice becomes a spiritual journey or just a healthy daily activity, Anna wants to help children find a deeper understanding of themselves and the big world around them.

Yoga is a unique way for children to exercise both their body and mind while also having fun!  By using creative interpretations of traditional yoga poses, exciting games, dancing, music and art, kids can experience yoga in a way that is relevant to their interests. In today’s world it is more important than ever that children are aware of the benefits of staying healthy and strong. We believe in the power of yoga to open a child’s mind, heart and spirit, allowing them to be more confident, comfortable, and free to be themselves.
