Yoga Classes for Kids in Washington DC
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.
