WHAT IS A KULA?

The Lotus Room Kula is a family formed by its own free will; an intentional community. It is a safe, stress free sanctuary for families with a creative & academic atmosphere. Yoga is an activity that creates health and well-being by building awareness, strength, and flexibility in both mind and body. It is also a practice of cultivating positive life skills that serve us as we step off of our mats into the world. Beginning to practice yoga as children, we learn to embrace our own beautiful gifts, those of each other, and live our lives with abundant joy.

In our kids yoga classes, there is a balance between spontaneity and structure, so that children learn to listen to themselves and each other as well as express themselves creatively. Interweaving story, song, games and poses, children learn in a multi-sensory environment, exploring kinesthetic, visual, and aural learning. We offer Kula Kids Yoga, KidCare, and adult classes simultaneously so that parents can nourish their own yoga practice knowing their children are safe and happy. Affordable class rates and discounts for multiple children and families. LIVE! LOVE! LEARN YOGA!
