Budding Yogis, a children’s yoga studio in Northwest, D.C. near Chevy Chase Circle, will be offering its programs for babies, kids, teens and families at Spiral Flight, a yoga studio in Georgetown.  Through the new partnership, the Budding Yogis brand will be jointly marketed by both studios, and classes will be taught at each location.  More than 350 individuals have participated in classes at Budding Yogi’s since its inaugural session in March 2003.  Spiral Flight is one of DC’s original yoga studios, in operation since 1997, and was recently featured on NBC 4’s “Get Healthy 4 Life” segment highlighting the benefits of yoga for children.

“Creating yoga programs for children requires specialized expertise,” adds Cristin Tighe, Director of Georgetown’s Spiral Flight.  “Instructors need specific training and experience working with children.  They need to understand age appropriate activity and behavior, be able to improvise depending on the children’s needs, and know how to use positive reinforcement to enhance children’s experiences and imaginations.  The Budding Yogis name continues to build the credibility of children’s yoga.  We are thrilled to expand our children’s programming as part of Budding Yogis.”

The Budding Yogis program includes:

·         Family Yoga – a class where moms, dads and siblings practice interactive and partnered positions;

·         Mommy/Daddy and Baby Yoga – a class for parents and their newborns;

·         Movers and Twisters – a class for young children and a parent with a focus on movement and play;

·         Kids’ Yoga – a themed class for school-aged children with a focus on breathing, meditation, music and art; and

·         Teen Yoga – a challenging class where teens work on particular poses and flows as well as relaxation.

Fall sessions began this month at both locations, near the Chevy Chase Circle at 5615 39th Street, NW, and in Georgetown at 1826 Wisconsin Avenue.  Spaces are available in most classes.  Interested families can see a complete list of classes and register online at www.buddingyogis.com.
