A Rosie Day · Williamsburg

(Wednesdays - 2-3 yrs old) MOVE & MAKE Ages: 2s & 3s Schedule: Wednesdays, 9:30am-10:30am (enroll one day or for all!) Season: September 15 – December 15, 2026 Sessions: 12 Tuesdays (closed 11/11 and the week of Nov 23–27 for Thanksgiving) Two-year-olds are bursting with energy and big feelings, and this class gives all of it somewhere joyful to go. We spend the first half of class on playful, story-led yoga (pick apples, roll like pumpkins, curl up like cozy bears, float like snowflakes), then flow straight into a connected sensory art project with painting, printing, tactile trays, and big collaborative murals the whole class builds together. Here is how we break up the hour, and why it works so well for little ones. We always begin with movement. Starting with yoga helps our busy bodies shake out their wiggles, tune into themselves, and settle into focus, so that by the time we reach the art table they are calm, present, and ready to create. From there we flow into collaborative, sensory art in a process-based studio, where children paint, pour, squish, and build right alongside one another. Movement first, then making, and the two are always connected. The magic is in the connection. Children feel a shape or a movement in their bodies, then create it with their hands. Everything is process based and rooted in learning through play, so we celebrate the exploration and the joy of discovery far more than a perfect finished product. Every child has their own yoga mat, classes stay small and nurturing, and the season builds week by week into a keepsake collection of art. Caregivers are welcome to settle in nearby while their little artist explores. ** This season, our studio kiln comes alive! any time we work with natural clay, little sculptor's creations will be fired, then painted by the artists, and hand-glazed by our teachers, transforming their squishy handmade art into treasured keepsakes that everyone will cherish for years to come! Meet Your Movement Teacher, Lily: Lily brings together two of the things this program is built on: movement and art. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Visual Arts from Fordham University, along with more than 500 hours of vinyasa yoga training and a Children's Yoga Instructor certification from the Circle Yoga Cooperative, which means every class is guided by someone who truly understands both how little bodies move and how young imaginations create. She has spent years working with children, teaching at yoga summer camps where she has led art projects for groups of young learners and mentoring students in visual arts, and she has a gift for creating warm, encouraging spaces where children feel safe to explore, get messy, and discover at their own pace. When she is not on the mat or at the art table, Lily is passionate about art education, photography, and finding new ways to help children learn through play! A class email will be sent out the week before the semester begins, along with a dedicated WhatsApp group for each class!
