When we’re connected to the shift in seasons, we can connect with transitions in ourselves. Children will practice body awareness through easeful yoga poses(asanas), in a noncompetitive, inclusive outdoor environment. We’ll enjoy the abundance of urban nature that surrounds us in our beautiful city of Seattle and in the neighborhood of Queen Anne. Your kids can expect, crafting, learning about plant life cycles, sharing stories, singing songs, seed collecting, harvesting, fall gardening, observing animal behavior and more all outdoors! In-turn discovering their own unique ways of being as they transit through hard and not so hard situations that life hands them. All while having fun in the fresh Autumn air and falling into the new school year with some calm.

Good for parents to know:

  • Parents / caregivers / grown-ups are welcome to participate.

  • No yoga experience required.

What to bring / wear:

  • 1 Yoga Mat. In Bloom has a few extras if needed but often children enjoy bringing their own. Please let us know if we can help provide a yoga mat for you. We don’t have the funds to purchase them for every student but we hope to do so in the future. For now we can usually find a gently used mat which is actually perfect for outdoors.

  • Full water bottle, back pack or tote bag, sun screen, a filling snack, rain coat/wind breaker, closed toe shoes or boots. Clothing for rain. Be sure to stay tuned into your favorite weather app!

  • Yoga and gardening is typically practiced in comfy clothes, but whatever your child wants to wear is fine with us. Be sure it’s okay that they get their clothes dirty from gardening, crafting and being outside.

  • Please pack a filling and nutritious snack for your children. We will have limited amounts of snacks on hand but only for emergencies. Be sure to fill out the allergy fields at registration.

  • Gardening gloves and tools are okay but not necessary.

    What to expect:

  • Outdoor Yoga and Gardening is a special bonding opportunity for children. Expect group yoga, breathing exercises, mindful movements, time to relax, silliness, and laughter! Expect being in contact with soil, water, rocks, sticks, grass, bugs, worms. Expect using hand shovels and water hoses. Expect using crafting supplies such as glue, markers, glitter. All of these exploratory was of learning can get messy.

  • Class will start on time, so plan on arriving about 5 minutes early to check-in. Restroom breaks will happen as we nature walk from Little Howe to the P-Patch and back. Restrooms are at Little Howe Park.

  • When you arrive, check-in with your In Bloom KYG instructor. Your child will lay out their mats and get comfortable as everyone arrives. In inclement weather we’ll set up under the pop-up shelter.

  • Children participate in yoga in many different ways, including observing (sometimes for the duration of the class!), receiving help, and trying things on their own. This is all developmentally appropriate and totally fine. We engage your child in class, but feel it’s okay for them to simply relax. We all will have fun, and enjoy your child however they choose to participate.
