Familia kid's yoga with lilla
|
Welcome to Familia’s kid’s yoga with Lilla! This Spring we are inviting intercultural kids in the Helsinki region to delve into the world of story-based yoga that will help build their mental and physical strength. Each session will be centered around an interesting character and an important lesson for life, like the value of honesty or focused attention. The yoga club is meant for children between the ages of 3-9 and the lessons will be tailored especially for the age of the kids. During the club parents are invited to join the Duo Living Room happening simultaneously, where they can chat with other intercultural parents over coffee. The lessons will be facilitated by Familia’s volunteer and certified kid’s yoga teacher Lilla Murányi. Check out our Facebook event too! |
