Yoga Classes for Kids in Chicago
Bala Yoga that feels like play and works like training
Children today sit more than any generation before them, hunched over tablets, homework and school desks. Bala Yoga gives that body somewhere else to go: animal poses, yoga stories and breathing games that open the hips and shoulders, and a short calm at the end that a restless child genuinely learns to settle into.

Bala Yoga that feels like play and works like training
An adult yoga class shrunk down for children loses them in ten minutes, because holding a pose and counting breaths is not how a seven-year-old engages. Bala Yoga is built the other way round, from play towards practice, so the child keeps coming back and the posture and focus arrive almost without them noticing.
Chicago families come to us with long winters in mind — a live class a child can attend from a warm room, in a season when getting to a weekend cultural class across the metro is genuinely difficult, is a large part of the appeal here.

Batch timings for Chicago
Live classes on CT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 6:00 to 7:30 PM Central and Saturday and Sunday mornings Central. Central time makes the Indian-morning mentor slots workable without anybody in the household getting up early.
Naperville, Schaumburg, Aurora, Bolingbrook and the Devon Avenue neighbourhoods are where most of our Chicago families are. Several found us through the Bharatanatyam circuit our parent academy Nrithyakshetra is part of.

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For yoga classes for kids that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for CT. Weekday 6:00 to 7:30 PM Central and Saturday and Sunday mornings Central.
“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”
