A fun class that includes Yoga moves and Hula Hoops!! Kids will practice moving their bodies through mindful expressions and incorporate the hoops as part of their expression. We use the hoops to make obstacle courses, use them as props and even to create dances and stories! You can bring your hoop if you have one or borrow one here! We stretch, we build strength and we practice breath work and yes, even Savasana with the hoops!
