Youngsters were invited to try their hand at yoga as part of a special Hallowe'en themed morning of free lessons.
YogaBugs has launched its first children's lessons in Bath aimed at giving youngsters the opportunity to explore yoga through adventure stories.
The classes are aimed at youngsters aged between two and a half and seven years old and started with a spooky session.
Bath based personal trainer Laura Marsden has launched the scheme with osteopath Melanie Todd and believes there are many health benefits to the activity
She said: 'We are thrilled to bring YogaBugs to Bath. Yoga improves children's co ordination and balance, builds strength and stamina and promotes healthy sleeping patterns.'
Many yoga postures have very child-friendly names such as dog, surfer and crab, which YogaBugs creatively weaves into fantastic adventures in the jungle, space or under sea.
'It means the children are motivated and inspired to join in without really realising they are practising and benefiting from yoga.'
Classes are continuing and will be run at Bath Library and the Percy Community Centre.
It is hoped that the scheme can be expanded into schools and nurseries.
