Kalma Toddlers Yoga: 18 months to 24 months

Our Kalma Toddler yoga sessions are the building blocks of creating confident and creative yogis.  It can help to build resilience and immunity with lots of multi sensory fun for busy and energetic toddlers.  During a typical class children can learn new yoga stretches from downward dogs to handstands as well as a high degree of fitness and developmental activities.  Often a group activity is a focus with a prop or a story during sessions. We keep the same approach as all other Kalma baby yoga classes with music songs and props and they are structured in the same way with 45 minutes of yoga, and relaxation at the end. 

Classes are run in block sessions.

Kalma Toddlers Yoga: 2 to 3 years

Toddler yoga is a mixture of yoga, dance and gymnastic elements.  All are inspired stretches and moves to song and music.  Continuing the multi sensory fun with the use of props but focusing on balance, coordination and motor skills.  Classes are structured so all elements are covered in 45 minutes but we focus on an area of development each week. Parents are encouraged to get involved and help support their toddlers in sessions. Cool down and relaxation are both a favourite still!  Music and songs are used for an active class, following the same structure as our baby yoga classes with 45 minutes of yoga, and relaxation to finish.

Classes are taught in block sessions.
