Kids Yoga

Yoga helps kids connect with their body, breath and mind, promoting positive body awareness, focus, compassion and individuality.

The 30-minute sessions are led by Danielle Connor, a nanny, actress and qualified yoga instructor who specialises in children’s yoga. She guides kids through this enjoyable and healthy activity, with parents and carers invited to join in on all the stretchy, bendy fun.

The yoga classes are tailored for preschoolers, aged 2 to 5 years, with primary school-aged children able to participate during school holidays.

Mats are supplied so there’s no need to bring any equipment or wear fancy gear.

In case of bad weather, the activity will be held nearby in the Darling Quarter Theatre foyer.

SYMBIOSIS

The cool, clear air is punctuated by the vibrant yellow of the Acacia flower, blooming en masse. Clear, salty seas illuminate the abundant life in the coral reefs, while at altitude, snow gently dusts the land. The shorter days take on a new urgency, to forage and feed; fortifying for long, cold nights. These times are hard, but will eventually give way to a warmer dawn.

EXHALATION

The intensity of heat gives way to a calmer time, and a fresh harvest of fruits, berries and roots emerge. Butterflies and birds flit between flowers, simultaneously drinking the nectar and delivering the pollen which will, in time, reignite a new cycle of emergence. This peaceful time is illuminated by beautiful, golden sunsets, slowly retracting as the long, cool nights draw in.

SENESCENCE

The hottest part of the year brings with it extremes. Scorched land cracks open in desperation for the deluge of rain that storms will eventually, inevitably bring. These storms churn the rivers and creeks, igniting feeding frenzies among hungry fish. This is a harsh, unsettled time. Many won’t survive. But with endings, come new beginnings.

EMERGENCE

Cold winds make way for warming air, while gentle rains cleanse and replenish the land. The buds of the Waratah redden, and before long they bloom, heavy with nectar. This long-awaited nourishment gives way to a cacophony of life; new, flourishing; and old, reawakening. All emerging to celebrate this time of plenty.
