That varies! Some children feel comfortable right away and join in immediately. Others need a little more time to adjust. Especially younger children, who may not fully understand the concept of a class yet, will have many new experiences in the first lesson(s).
Repetition helps children become familiar with an activity, story, or concept. When they see or do something multiple times, they understand it better and develop a sense of recognition and security. This builds their confidence.
After about four classes, you’ll really start to see how your child experiences the lessons. Give your child time to get used to the space and become familiar with the concept of a class. That’s why we recommend joining the full course.
All you need is comfortable (sports) clothing that allows you to move freely. Bare feet provide the best grip, so socks can be taken off, and preferably no tights. Everything else (mats and props) will be ready for you.
The more stuff in the studio, the more distractions. Please leave anything you don’t need in our changing rooms.
Parent & child classes are for everyone. It’s important to know that it’s not about children doing everything perfectly. However, after a few weeks, your child will start to recognize the class structure. Attending weekly helps a lot in discovering what makes your child feel calm.
Good to know: we don’t expect to be serious Buddhas during class—our sessions are active and, most importantly, full of laughter!
Each spot in the class is for one parent/caregiver and one child, so unfortunately, it’s not possible to join with two children. If you’d like to bring two kids, ask a grandparent, grandma, or cool uncle to join!
Joining with an extra parent is definitely possible. Some exercises in our classes involve teamwork, so you can take turns. To participate with two adults and one child, you’ll need to book two spots in the class.
