    Beginner children's yoga classes teach breathing techniques and how the body moves in space, important skills for future actors. Yoga increases flexibility, strength, and understanding of the mind and body. It teaches remaining present, non-judgement, and calming techniques like breath work. Most importantly, children's yoga is meant to be fun as poses allow pretending to be animals and objects in a gentle yet engaging way.

    "Join us for beginner children's yoga, where you will learn how to take notice of your breath and

    how your body moves in space, two principles that are extremely important for the future
    aspiring actor! We will take time to get up and move our bodies in a mindful way through the
    creation of shapes, mimicking animals, mystical creature, superheroes, and more!"
     
    In theatre programs across the country, yoga has become a regular practice for students as they
    embark on their training. Typically, if not referred to traditionally as "yoga," these classes will be
    referred to as "movement" classes. The study of yoga can be linked to the study of theatre in
    more ways than you might imagine! Both practices encompass the mind, body, and spirit. For the
    children that come to Firebird for their theatrical experience that may choose to explore yoga as
    an additional offering, they will embark on a new journey that will not only serve them in their
    future endeavors as an actor (should they choose that route long term), but also serve them in
    their daily life as they learn and grow.
     
    Learning and adapting to a new skill is a wonderful trait for any actor and human being to
    possess, and since this may be a child's first experience with yoga, they will have the opportunity
    to tap into parts of their body and mind they did not know could be connected to their theatre
    studies. Yoga increases flexibility and strength of the mind and the body, allowing its students to
    begin to understand their bodies as they move through space, their breath, and the inner workings
    of the mind and heart. As actors, we aim to simply experience experiences rather than
    intellectualize them. This allows for a much freer approach to our acting. Yoga asks of us to
    remain in the present moment, which allows us to cultivate this skill. Yoga also encourages us to
    practice non-judgement of ourselves and others. I believe this is an important skill to hone at an
    early age, especially for young actors. If young people do not have the tools to practice free
    movement and free thinking, they cannot be expected to take those principles into a rehearsal
    space and feel successful in their work! Yoga also can teach children calming techniques, such as
    breath work, to take with them into auditions, rehearsals, and performance as well as into their
    education and other activities during a time that is less than predictable.
     
    Most importantly, yoga for children is meant to be fun! Different poses and postures allow
    children the opportunity to get their bodies moving in a fun yet gentle way, calming the nervous
    system all while pretending to be a tree, dolphin, puppy dog…the list goes on and on! There is
    no better way to tap into the imagination, gain a deeper connection to your "self," and have fun
    while doing it than with yoga!
