From teens to toddlers, yoga for children is becoming more accessible than ever before. Anxiety, depression and stress levels for our kids are at an all time high and more families are turning to yoga as a way to help. This may be because Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children (ages 6 to 12).
Beginning later this month local fitness studio, MOVE Barre will be offering yoga to youth of all abilities ages 6-11. Torrey Meisner, a regular MOVE Barre instructor, will be leading the classes. In 2018, shortly after completing her Yoga Teacher Certifications, Torrey founded PLAAY as a result of her strong desire and passion to provide children of all abilities with the opportunity to benefit from yoga. In putting together her yoga classes, Torrey uses her extensive educational and experiential background in child development, along with her understanding and knowledge of the field of yoga to craft intentional, balanced, and playful yoga for kids! Torrey has a very calming presence about her, which is especially evident in her teaching style.
Torrey first fell in love with the practice of yoga when she was in high school, competing as a hurdler on her high school track & field team. At the time, she was drawn to the deep stretching and change of pace that yoga provided. When talking to her about her practice, you can tell that passion she found as a kid is something she hopes to pass on to the kids she teaches.
The first session of classes begin at MOVE Barre on February 23 and registration is open until 24 hours before class begins. (MOVE Barre + Yoga will also have a 60-minute adult yoga class that will occur simultaneously with the kid's yoga classes. You will have the option to either drop your child(ren) off for their class and stay to take class yourself, or drop your
child(ren) off and run an errand or two!)
