13 Wednesdays; except Nov 11 + Nov 25 Yogi Beans is an educational, energetic, and transformative yoga-for-kids program. Our classes develop children's abilities to focus (attention), stand up straight (posture), move their limbs with control (coordination) and grace (flexibility), and find inner strength (self-confidence). The Yogi Beans curriculum is designed to introduce kids to the foundations of yoga and translate yogic concepts into language children understand and appreciate. Classes give children a peaceful respite from busy city schedules and long school days. The Yogi Beans program is a wonderful way to introduce your child to a healthy lifelong activity that is noncompetitive, non-judgmental, physically challenging, and a ton of fun! It is of deep importance to us that our programs be financially accessible for all. If your family would like to discuss financial assistance for any of our programs, please email lenora@jccharlem.org.
