About In Bloom Kids Yoga
Methodology
In Bloom Kids Yoga creates space for noticing ourselves and nature by combining the beautiful practices of Yoga and Gardening. We bring to life the culturally diverse ways of earth and body focused lessons that are kinetically driven to notice our place with our natural world. By authentically being immersed outside in a safe, emotionally supportive and noncompetitive way we laugh, share stories, move our bodies, craft and self reflect. We incorporate books, songs, writing and our observational skills to stay curious and connected. We create small adventures weaving in basic earth science, energy and growing cycles and seasons that help us understand our questions and introduce aspects of indigenous ways of knowing our world. We are dedicated to honoring the beautiful diversity of humans and creatures; elements of water, air, soil too, in our community and our world, with gratitude and in the spirit of stewardship.
Mission
Our mission is to plant seeds of community stewardship through outdoor experiences that inspire a sense of place and self empowerment while creating connection to life and awareness of our bodies all in an easeful, inclusive and joyful way. Inspiring the life long practice of yoga and gardening in each child’s own unique way. To the best of our abilities, we welcome and embrace children and families of all races, abilities, socieoeconomics, genders, orientatons and backgrounds, while respecting the roots of yoga and indigenous ways of being in our world.
Vision
We envision a shared intention to nurture a community of learners and teachers who together will be stewards of their bodies and Earth. Collectively co-creating a space to honor and care for life and peace. As we water the soil in our p-patch, we hydrate our bodies. As we plant seeds, we practice positive patience with ourselves. As we see flowers blooming, we notice our beauty too.
Values
We value a diverse and inclusive community of children, families and instructors who are life long learners of nature and themselves. We value the teacher inside of each of us as well as the student no matter the age or background. We love being silly, having fun and value giving gratitude and grace along the way. We value practicing to act with our hearts first while being aware and safe. We value the ability to offer sessions, classes & workshops to families that allign with their lives. We have a Nurtureship Fund that can be found on our website. It’s important to us to work with everyone that wants to join us!
