 Offerings
 Classes are offered on a series basis in order to build upon skills and learinings. Students are never forced into any position or made to participate in yoga. While having fun, kids unconsciously discipline themselves in areas of strength, balance and concentration. Over time, these techniques are consciously applied in everyday life.All classes include movement, activities, and music and are composed in the following rhythm: warm-up, action/play, winding down and relaxation. Classes are conducted in schools throughout the Peninsula, in private homes in the Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Los Altos and Mountain View areas as well as in local studios, and community centers.
