What’s On For Kids This Weekend: 11-12 March, 2017

Saturday

Kids Yoga (5-9 yrs)

Yoga is a great way for kids to increase awareness of themselves, others and the world, while having fun! Yoga is a wonderful way for children to stay (or become) confident, strong, balanced and healthy. Yoga engages a child’s natural boundless energy and conveys valuable lessons in positive thinking, body and mind awareness. Each class is alive with magical journeys where we meet with animals, fly an airplane or drive a car, grow into a tree or imitate the ocean waves, all in the form of dynamic yoga poses. This class is taught in English and French by Anna Svensson.
Where:  2, Circuit de la Foire Internationale, Luxembourg-Kirchberg
When: Saturday,  11 March– 14:30-15:30
Age: 5-9yrs
