Meditation
We offer a program that combines 30 minutes of Yoga with 30 minutes of Arts & Crafts, creating an enjoyable and interactive experience for children. This combination is beneficial and will support young children that can present small attention spans. By introducing Art & Crafts, children will explore Art as a form of Meditation. They can remain focused and happy.

I am excited to continue using a method that has been experimented and approved with sucessfull results. I have observed considerable rise in interest and engagement of students. They have become more inquisitive and enthusiastic about learning. This approach also benefits me as an educator. I can offer more personalized support and strengthen my relationship with each student while they are focused in their peace of Art.
Yoga and Arts & Crafts complement each other. Crafts reinforce yoga teachings. A 30-minute Yoga class is enough for young children. Crafts will help children stay focused. This approach also allows me to teach them about other important aspects of yoga teachings that incorporate great human values of kindness, respect, and the spirit of cooperation.
When I envisioned this this yoga program my initial idea was to focus only on yoga and occasionally incorporate Art & Crafts to help introverted students express their emotions. However, I was pleasantly surprised when all of the students requested that I should continue to exploring different Art & Crafts projects in every class.
I will explore crafts in simple level of difficulty using affordable and age-appropriate materials. To access the full program with themes of each Yoga class and Art & Craft curated by season, click the school section at the menu and go to PDF attachment.

Reviews
"We have had a wonderful experience working with Upside Down Yoga Kids as an after-school vendor at Presidio Knolls School. Patricia shows great care in creating engaging and fun classes for our students"! Olivia Sorells
Upside Down Yoga Kids was the highlight of our son's year. Patricia is absolutely great with kids. She can catch their attention and quickly make it fun to practice yoga. Our son quickly learned some breathing exercises which have helped him to remain s calm and focused whenever he needs to - he is only two! It is fascinating to see a kid get interested in doing downward-facing dog and breathing in motions at such a young age. Couldn't recommend Patricia's classes enough.
