Yoga

The earlier class is for Kindergarten through Grade 3, roughly ages 4 to 9. The later class is for Grade 4 through Grade 6, roughly ages 9 to 12. We group by grade rather than strictly by age so the pace and the attention span match. If your child sits near the boundary, email us and we'll help you pick.

Melanie Brown, who runs Ladybug and Leaf Wellness here in London and is certified to teach children's yoga through Little Yogis Academy. She teaches all three classes, so the same person is with your child every week.

The fall term is $140 plus HST, which comes to $158.20. That is a launch rate for our first session. From the winter term on, it's the regular $150 plus HST, $169.50, which works out to $25 a class. Every class is the same price, whether it's a kids class or the women's restorative class.

There can be. Email us before you register with the names and grades of both children and we'll sort it out for you.

No, registration is for the full six week session. Each week builds on the one before and the group stays the same throughout, which is what makes the class work.

Yes. A parent or caregiver stays in the building for the duration of the class. You're welcome to watch, or to wait in our lounge, and there's plenty going on elsewhere in ActivityPlex. If your child is in the 6:00 class, the women's restorative class starts at 7:15, so you can use the time for yourself.

Any woman who wants an hour of slow, supported, quiet movement. You do not need to be flexible, fit or experienced. Poses are held for a long time with bolsters and blankets supporting you, so the work is in letting go rather than pushing.

Not at all. Most children arrive with no experience. There's no scoring, no performing and nothing to keep up with. Classes are built around play, breathing games and poses children can do at their own pace.

Comfortable clothes you can move in, bare feet or grip socks, and a water bottle. We provide mats and all props. Please arrive about five minutes early so we can start on time.

We can't refund or credit individual missed classes. Let us know in advance and, where the fit is appropriate, we'll do our best to fit your child into the other age group's class that week.

If you cancel more than seven days before the session starts, you get a full refund. Within seven days we'll credit your spot to the next session. Once a session has begun, registration is non-refundable.

Each class needs five people to run. If we don't reach that, we'll contact you about a week before the start date and refund you in full, or move your spot to the next session, whichever you prefer.

Yes. Register each child in the class that matches their grade. The two classes run back to back on the same Wednesday evening, so it's one trip. Email us if you'd like help with the timing, and ask about the sibling rate while you're at it.

We're at 112 to 1305 Commissioners Road East in London, inside the ActivityPlex building. There's free parking on site.
