While you wait
A parent or caregiver stays in the building during class. If your child is in the 6:00 group, the women's restorative class starts at 7:15, so you can spend the hour on a mat instead of in the lounge.
Women's Restorative
AdultsSlow down. Soften. Let yourself be held. A quiet, gentle yoga practice designed to help you release tension and settle your nervous system.
We’ll spend time in longer-held, fully supported poses, using bolsters, blankets and props to do the work so your body doesn’t have to.
No stretching goals. No pressure. No experience needed. You don’t need to be flexible. You just need to arrive.
Come as you are, at the end of your day, and give yourself an hour to breathe, soften and simply be.

What actually happens in a class
Kids yoga is not adult yoga made smaller. It runs on stories and games, nobody is scored, and nobody is behind. Every class moves through the same four stages.
1
Move
Big, noisy movement to burn off the school day. Nothing settles until this part is done.
First 10 minutes2
Play
Poses taught through animals, stories and partner balances.
The main stretch3
Breathe
Breathing games they can use again before a test or at bedtime.
About 5 minutes4
Rest
A short guided rest. Longer for the older group, brief for the younger one.
Last 5 minutesFour poses they will come home talking about
Try them at home. Socks off, nothing else needed.
Tree
One foot on the other leg, hands up. It teaches balance, and falling over is half the fun.
Butterfly
Sitting, soles of the feet together, knees out. Good for hips that spend all day in a chair.
Cat and Cow
On all fours, arching up then dipping down. The first pose almost every child gets right.
Downward Dog
Hands and feet down, hips up. Children are usually better at this one than their parents.
In Melanie’s words
Melanie is an Ontario Certified Teacher, Emotional Health Practitioner, and yoga teacher with 17 years of experience working with children. Through Little Yogis Academy and Ladybug & Leaf Wellness, she creates playful, welcoming yoga experiences for children and nurturing spaces for women to move, breathe, reconnect, and support their nervous system. Melanie believes yoga is for every body, no experience or flexibility required.
Kindergarten to Grade 3
We’ll shake off the busy school day, explore how our bodies feel, and discover simple ways to help our minds and bodies find a little more calm.
A welcoming space where every little yogi can come exactly as they are.
No experience needed. Just bring your imagination!
Grade 4 to Grade 6
We’ll learn cool breathing tricks and calming tools they can use before a big test, after a tough day, or anytime their brains feel extra busy.
And yes… we’ll end with the best part: a cozy guided rest to relax, recharge and reset.
A fun, encouraging space to build strength, confidence and body awareness, without the competition.
Come move, laugh, challenge yourself and discover what your body can do!
What it helps with, honestly
Research on yoga in schools points somewhere promising: gains in self-regulation, attention and the general mood of a classroom. The studies are small and the evidence is still developing, so anyone selling kids yoga as a treatment is overselling it. What six Wednesdays reliably give you is a child who has moved properly before dinner instead of after it, two or three breathing tools they can reach for on their own, and practice at paying attention on purpose.

Before you register
Choosing a class
What ages are the kids yoga classes for?
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.
Who teaches the classes?
Melanie Brown of Ladybug and Leaf Wellness. She is an Ontario Certified Teacher with 17 years of experience working with children, certified to teach children's yoga through Little Yogis Academy, and Yoga Alliance certified in Restorative Yoga. She teaches all three classes, so the same person is with your child every week.
Money
How much is it in total?
The six week Intro Session is $120 plus HST, which comes to $135.60, so $22.60 a class. The ten week Winter Term is $190 plus HST, $214.70, which works out to $21.47 a class. Every class is the same price, whether it's a kids class or the women's restorative class. If you would rather try one first, a single class on Wednesday 21 October is $10 and we take that off your term fee if you register within 48 hours.
Is there a discount for siblings?
There can be. Email us before you register with the names and grades of both children and we'll sort it out for you.
Can we try a single class before registering?
Yes. On Wednesday 21 October every class is a single $10 class, and if you register for a term within 48 hours we take the $10 off. After that, registration is by the term, because each week builds on the one before and the group stays the same throughout.
On the day
Do I need to stay during my child's class?
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.
Who is the women's restorative class for?
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.
My child has never done yoga. Is that a problem?
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.
What should we wear and bring?
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.
If something changes
What happens if we miss a week?
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.
Can I cancel after registering?
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.
What if the class doesn't fill?
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.
Can I register two children in different age groups?
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.
Where exactly are you and is there parking?
We're at 112 to 1305 Commissioners Road East in London, inside the ActivityPlex building. There's free parking on site.
Ten to twelve spots per class
Groups are kept small on purpose. Come and try a single class for $10 on Wednesday 21 October, or register straight into the six week Intro Session from $120. Either takes under two minutes online.
