Free Little Yogis Classes in Champlin!

I am looking into offering kid's yoga classes at Top Tae Kwon Do in Champlin and need your feedback... We are offering:

One free week of parent/child yoga classes for kids 2 and up!

Join me for a "Little Yogis" sampler on Tuesday, Sept. 20 and/or Thursday, Sept. 22 from 10-10:30 a.m.

In this parent-child class, we will introduce kids (ages 2 and up) to yoga sequences, breathing and relaxation. Using music and fun activities, kids will discover some of yoga’s many benefits.

 

Yoga develops a child’s strength, stamina, flexibility and coordination while relieving stress.  More importantly, it also develops a child’s self-esteem, confidence, focus, creativity, and imagination.

The studio is located at

Top Tae Kwon Do is in the mall just west of Hwy 169
