Yoga class offers relaxation and focus for children

Village children, ages 8 to 12, are invited to take part in a four-week yoga class on Fridays, from 4 to 4:45 p.m., April 24 through May 15 at the Village Center. The class, which will be offered through a pre-recorded video by an expert yoga practitioner, offers a blend of movement, breathwork, cultural storytelling, and guided reflection. Each session is unique: Week One offers an introduction to yoga and body awareness, breathing for focus and “Mountain, Tree and Cat-Cow” poses; Week Two stresses balance and strength challenges, modified sun salutations, are “Warrior 1 & @, Chair and Plank poses; Week Three focuses on gentle flow sequences, emotional regulation tools, and “Butterfly, Twist and Cobra Poses.” In Week Four, participants will review favorite poses, join in creative pose-making, and relaxation visualization.
