The Yoga Gnome kids classes offer a complete, age-appropriate Yoga practice including stretching and strengthening poses (asanas), breathing (pranayama) instruction, relaxation techniques, and meditation. The classes are filled with music, games, laughter, and imagination! The secret “ingredient” is playfulness, keeping your child motivated, excited, and moving all while having fun.
These are not your typical adult yoga classes – it’s “real” yoga but in a kid-friendly way that gets children singing, dancing, skipping, marching, jogging, shaking, laughing, hopping, limbo-ing, and storytelling all while practicing Yoga. We tailor our classes to the ages of the participants- older kids are offered more “grown-up” yoga with challenging flows and poses, while little ones often need to move their bodies and switch between activities a little faster.

Gnome& Me: Baby Yoga
(Ages 8 Weeks- 2 years)
Step into a land of imagination where baby and caregiver move, breathe, and bond together. Our Baby Yoga class embodies the heart-centered, playful spirit of The Yoga Gnome, blending nurturing touch, gentle movement, songs, and stretches inspired by nature’s rhythms.
Little ones are guided through developmentally supportive positions that build body awareness, improve digestion, sensory exploration, and early motor skills. Caregivers learn grounding breath practices, restorative stretches, and ways to support baby’s growth with loving, mindful connection.

Gnome& Me: Tot Yoga
( Ages 2-4)
Tot Yoga is all about simple, joyful movement—stretching, rolling, jumping, balancing, and trying new shapes. In this curiosity-led class, toddlers and young preschoolers step into a playful space designed just for their growing bodies and busy minds.
Each child is encouraged to move at their own pace as we explore hands-on activities, movement games, musical moments, and beginner yoga shapes that support early coordination. Tots experience short bursts of guided play woven together with opportunities to imitate, explore, and repeat movements they love.
Caregivers stay close to offer comfort and encouragement while allowing tots to experiment with early independence. The atmosphere is relaxed, sensory-friendly, and full of giggles, movement, and little moments of wonder.

Gnome Yoga Adventures: Preschoolers (Ages 3-5)
In this playful, imagination-filled class, preschool-aged gnomes set off on magical yoga adventures designed just for their growing bodies and minds. Through playful storytelling, creative movement, music, and mindful moments, children explore the enchanted forest of The Yoga Gnome—meeting friendly woodland creatures, climbing tall tree poses, crossing sparkling streams, and resting in cozy gnome burrows.
Preschoolers thrive with routine and imagination, and this class blends both. Sessions are structured enough to support listening skills and group participation, yet playful enough to celebrate curiosity, creativity, and wiggles. Children begin to practice yoga poses with more intention, experiment with balance and simple sequences, and learn kid-friendly breathing techniques to help calm big feelings.
