Little Lights Yoga

Meddy Teddy has been missing you all! He found a new friend named Simon but Simon is not as eager to do yoga as Meddy is. That’s why we must plan more virtual classes! Stay tuned. ... #preschoolyoga #kidsyoga #mindfulkids #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #kidsyogareddeer #meddyteddy

Happy New Year friends!!

I understand that the yoga world on social media, magazines etc has had a negative impact on many people. Even me. And that is why I don’t subscribe to this world of yoga. Most images you see are totally inaccessible to most and this may deter a lot of people from even stepping into their first yoga class and missing out on reaping in all the many benefits of yoga and its practices. I’ve been at Love Yoga Grace for over 3 years now. It has always felt safe, comfort...able and real. We understand, that we ALL need to embrace our individuality and to be content with who we are. We don't need to look like the picture in the book or the person next to us. Your bones have nothing in common with my bones. No, we find our authentic shape and rock it! Trust me when I say, if you’re a little scared to start yoga, I have a sweet little studio for you with kind hearted, bad assery instructors. The place is Love|Yoga|Grace. See more

Registration is rolling in. 7 more sleeps!! Register by emailing [email protected] or PM December 21... 10-11 am $10 EFT accepted. Link will be sent to you three days before event. #preschoolyoga #kidsyoga #mindfulkids #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #kidsyogareddeer #christmaskidsyoga

Yesterday I had the honour of teaching the Junior Forest Wardens. What fun it was to plan and practice a yoga theme on ecology! Would you like to bring yoga and mindfulness to a group you organize or a group your child attends? Send us a PM. #kidsyoga #mindfulkids #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #kidsyogareddeer #mindfulness #ourfuturewillbebright #tomorrowschild

Oh my, this morning was SO much fun! Our Grinch theme yoga had us breathing to help us when we feel a little grinchy. We did Max the dog pose, present, tree, mount Crumpit pose and so much more with the story of the Grinch. What was the cherry on the top? We had a visit with Santa himself!!... Thank you to all the families who came on today. #preschoolyoga #kidsyoga #mindfulkids #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #kidsyogareddeer

There was lots of screeching, laughing and fun had when we played Zombie Tag (with a yoga twist). Rules: One person is the Zombie. The zombie only comes out when the music stops. The zombie walks around (like a zombie of course) trying to tag players. I used pool noodles to tag in order to keep distance. If a player is tagged, they must go to their mats and take 4 deep breaths. This is the ONLY way that they will not turn into a zombie. After 4 deep breaths they can return.

This little yogi is using his powerful breath to pick up fuzzy spiders

Dissecting owl pellets was CREEPY! Thank you @medicineriverw for supplying the pellets! #preschoolyoga #kidsyoga #mindfulkids #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #kidsyogareddeer #halloweenyogaparty

Witches on broomsticks, spooky cats, cauldrons, bats, werewolves and witches hats is what we found along with a couple treats and of course, a couple of tricks! #preschoolyoga #kidsyoga #mindfulkids #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #kidsyogareddeer #halloweenyogaparty

Tweety’s getting ready for the party!

It has always been our intention at Love|Yoga|Grace to offer as many opportunities for the Yoga that exists on the fringe... not your typical mainstream offerin...gs. There are many vulnerable people that deserve to know that the space they are entering is completely safe for them to come as they are. Y12SR connects the dots between the ancient wisdom of yoga, the practical tools of 12-step programs, and the latest research on trauma healing and neurobiology. As part of a holistic recovery program, it works in tandem with traditional treatment to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction. The program serves people recovering from all manifestations of addiction, from behavioral addictions to substance abuse creating a safe place on the mat where trauma can be released. It also supports those who are impacted by a loved one’s addiction. Click the link to find out all of the details! http://kellytibbets.com/events/yoga-of-12-step-recovery/

Getting prepped for a virtual preschool yoga class! #preschoolyoga #kidsyoga #mindfulkids #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #virtualkidsyoga

Hi all, I’ve had some new followers in the last little while so I thought I would pop in to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Jamie. I am a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher, E-RYT and creator of Little Lights Yoga. I love working with children and teaching them skills that they will require for a lifetime of health in body, mind and spirit. I put a lot of love and energy into what I do that some have called me Yogi Poppins, the Mary Poppins of Yoga. I also speciali...ze in Yin Yoga. I love the nature of yin. The allowing, softness, and acceptance. But don’t be fooled, this practice is powerful. Think of water. Water is soft, cool, and flows but has the ability to power through the earth and continues to move forward. I thought it would be neat to share five things about me. 1. I am of Metis decent and love learning about my culture. 2. As a child, I lived on a farm and spent majority of my time in nature playing with the animals and riding my horse. 3. I consider myself an empath. I have a big heart and love to nurture. But this means I can easily take on peoples emotions as my own. I require time alone to recharge. 4. Believe it or not, I was a wolf in a past life. 5. I am a mama to two kiddos. My daughter Preslie, who’s just as strong willed as me (send help ) and who also has a big heart and my boy Willem who is a typical fearless boy but who is also sensitive. There you have it. Thank you for following and stay tuned for future events!

Here’s Willem showing you how to do Spider-Man Breath. Enjoy! As you breathe in, your thumb will hold down your middle and ring fingers while your pointer and pinky are pointing out (Spider-Man). Thumb can be pointing out too. Breathe out and make a fist. Repeat 2-4 more times. ... Willem enjoys this breathing pattern but you and your child can always reverse the breathing pattern and breathe out when making Spider-Man hands and breathe in when making a fist. #mindfulkids #kidsbreathingexercises #calmkids #happykids #selfregulation #littlelightsyoga #shinebright #tomorrowschild

Isn’t Autumn the most beautiful season? The leaves are just starting to fall so my kids and I have created a mindful game with the fallen leaves while we are out walking. We created, The Leaves are Lava. ... We mindfully walk trying to avoid stepping on a lava leaf while mindfully listening for a crunch sound. If someone steps on a leaf, we will hear the crunch (if you’re being present), that person is out. Give it a try with your kiddos! #mindfulkids #mindfulness #ourfuturewillbebright #tomorrowschild #littlelightsyoga #shinebright

Now running!! Wednesday’s @ 9:30.
