Angel Bear Yoga, the newest program for children, will be introduced at the West Forsyth YMCA in June.
This program was designed to introduce children as young as 3 to the practice of yoga, while also teaching character development and good morals. This parent and child interactive class takes a child's love of animals and nature, combines that with an engaging story, and helps young hearts develop positive character traits while strengthening their bodies.
In each 30-minute class, Angel Bear and her young friend, Sweet Pea, lead children and their parents on a journey that uses yoga poses to bring character traits to life. Children are encouraged to use their imaginations as they go on a new adventure each week into the enchanted forest to help Angel Bear teach Sweet Pea about how to see the world in a new light and become more caring and compassionate. Every class provides a positive message encouraging children to develop traits such as strength, honesty and confidence. The 50 different traits and poses a child can learn will help improve balance and strength, and promote an inner peace and calm.
Making a connection of mind, body, and spirit in a integral part of the Angel Bear Yoga program and embodies the mission of the West Forsyth YMCA, which is 'to help people reach their God given potential in spirit, mind and body.'
Angel Bear Yoga will be held in the Mind and Body studio on Thursday mornings from 11 to 11:30 a.m beginning June 5. The cost is $20 for four classes for members and $30 for nonmembers.
Space is limited, so people are encouraged to sign up. The YMCA is on Peace Haven Road between Lewisville Clemmons and Harper roads.
