Downward-Facing Sprogs

Yogi Rascals Yoga Classes

You’ve marveled at your munchkin’s flexibility ever since he jammed all ten toes into his mouth with ease.

So it won’t be a stretch to enroll him in Yogi Rascals yoga classes. The 45-minute sessions (for kiddos ages 1 and up, with a parent) are structured around storytelling adventures, often about farms or zoos. It all provides the perfect segue into basic animal poses, from the cat to the cobra.

Other highly physical courses, including kickboxing, baby ballet and street dance, will get your child tuckered out for naptime.

That’s your moment of Zen.
