Introducing Mindful Art & Crafts: Enhancing Your Child’s Yoga Experience!

Updated: Jul 15, 2024



A New Adventure in Mindful Fun Awaits Your Child!


Parents and educators, we are excited to announce a fantastic new addition to our Upside-Down Yoga Kids program! Starting next season, our yoga classes will include Arts & Crafts activities curated to match the themes of each yoga session. This new feature is designed to enhance the overall experience, helping children remain focused and engaged even after their yoga practice.


Why Add Art & Crafts to Yoga?


It’s proven that after 30 minutes of yoga, children’s capacity to maintain engagement in the physical aspects of the practice can significantly drop. To address this, we are incorporating mindful crafts that will not only complement our yoga themes but also provide additional benefits.


The Benefits of Crafts for Children:


  1. Enhanced Focus and Concentration: Craft activities require children to pay attention to details and follow instructions, which helps improve their concentration and focus.

  2. Fine Motor Skills Development: Using materials like scissors, glue, and paint helps children develop fine motor skills, essential for writing and other tasks.

  3. Creativity and Self-Expression: Craft projects allow children to express their creativity and imagination, fostering a sense of individuality and personal accomplishment.

  4. Stress Relief and Relaxation: Similar to yoga, engaging in crafts can be a calming activity that helps reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of relaxation.

  5. Cognitive and Problem-Solving Skills: Crafts often involve planning and problem-solving, which helps enhance cognitive abilities and critical thinking.


A Perfect Pairing for Holistic Development

Our Art & Crafts activities are carefully designed to match the themes of each yoga class, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience. Whether it’s creating nature-inspired art after a session of animal poses or making gratitude journals after a mindfulness class, these activities will deepen the impact of our yoga practice.


Join Us on This Exciting Journey!

We can’t wait to share these new Arts & Crafts activities. Follow us for more updates and to see the amazing creations your children will make!



Encourage your child to join us and discover the joy of combining yoga with mindful crafting. It’s a journey that promises fun, creativity, and a host of developmental benefits!
