CHILDRENS YOGA WORKSHOP

The Sutter Lakeside Wellness Center is hosting a seven week Saturday yoga workshop for children ages 5 through 8 and for youths ages 9 through 13 beginning Saturday, Sept. 27.

The Bitta Yoga workshop (for ages 5 to 8) will occur from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Instructor Rama Deva will lead the children through an imaginary journey were they will climb mountains, venture through the jungle and meet friendly animals along the way. Participants also will learn songs and dances. A healthy snack and special treasure will be provided at every class.

The kids workshop (for ages 9 to 13, though older children are welcome), which takes place from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., will feature exercises designed to teach increased relaxation techniques, build self confidence and improve mental focus and balance. Attendees also will participate in activities that are intended to sharpen intuitive responses. Healthy snacks will be provided in this session also.

The autumn session runs from Sept. 27 through Nov. 8. There also will be a winter session, from Jan. 3 through Feb. 14. The cost is $10 per class; $7 each if three or more classes are taken or $45 for the whole seven week-session.

Instructor Rama Deva, HHP, is a regular yoga instructor at Sutter Lakeside's Wellness Center. He has trained in Deep Yoga, in San Diego with Bhava and Sundari Ram, and achieved Level 2 in the Radiant Child Yoga Program taught by Shakta Kaur Kalsa.

Rama honors the 'beautiful energy that the youth of today hold' and focuses on fun during these two workshops. He has worked with kids in local schools and focuses his life work on creating a space for the youth to express themselves in positive ways, bringing balance into their lives as they grow strong, becoming the leaders of tomorrow.

Parents of interested children are asked to call the Wellness Center at 262 5171 for registration information.
