ABOUT

LITTLEFEET YOGA

 
 

MOVING TO BE HAPPY, HEALTHY AND STRONG
Health is not just about the body, it is also about inner peace. One is healthy when one lives in peace with his/her surrounding world. The mind and body are profoundly connected and yoga/mindfulness is a great medium to connect with oneself and the world.

 

A PASSION FOR MOVEMENT, A PASSION FOR CHILDREN
Our bodies were designed to move throughout our lifetime. Movement and play allow children to become more physically, intellectually, emotionally happy and healthy. Physical movement through yoga gives them the ability to feel strong and capable in their bodies, helps prevent anxiety, builds independence and most of all, is a lot of fun!

CREATING A MOVEMENT LEGACY
If movement is to have an impact, it must belong to those who join it, not those who lead it.
Simon Sinek

Children, grandchildren, students, all learn through modeling. Adults have a great influence on the future choices of the young generation. Being active, connecting within, modeling healthy behaviours and co-creating with the children allow them to grow on many levels and also facilitate our own growth as a parent, caregiver, teacher, children lover. So let’s walk the talk and all join the movement legacy!

I encourage my children to stretch their wings each time I stretch my own.
Katrina Kenison

PASSING ON THE LEGACY
Happiness multiplies and spills over naturally and effortlessly.

I was delighted about the breathing exercises. I used them with her when we had to go to a particarly difficult doctor's appointment!
A relieved and happy mom

Littlefeet Yoga has been a very good tool for my children. All three of my kids attended Yoga classes for kids and it has helped them gain better knowledge of their bodies, learn to recognize when they need to relax and taught them easy and practical tools they can use to relax at any place or any time.

Just a thank-you for being a fabulous mentor and teacher for Maia. She took so many positive things away from your class, and I always appreciate an instructor who is gentle and inspiring at the same time. You very clearly respect children as people and that's important to me!
