A playful kids yoga series for ages 3–7 — animal poses, big breaths, and real confidence — on Saturday mornings in Portola Valley.
New this season: you no longer have to commit to all eight weeks at once — start with a flexible month, or book the full series for the best value per class.
A month of Saturdays — perfect if fall travel makes eight weeks tricky, or you're trying it out.
The whole arc. The theme builds week to week — and this is where kids form real friendships.
Just want to sample it? Drop in on a single Saturday — series families are placed first.
Every option comes in Solo Flow (drop-off) or Family Flow (you on the mat too). Pay securely by card (Apple Pay too) after you reserve.
Try the first class, risk-free. Not every class clicks with every kid — so if your child isn't talking about downward dogs at the dinner table after the first Saturday, I'll refund the remaining weeks.
I've spent the last decade working with young children — including six joyful years at Bing Nursery School, where I learned what lights three-to-seven-year-olds up — and what helps them settle. My M.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Education — and, more importantly, the families I've learned alongside — shaped how I teach: movement and learning go hand in hand.
I've practiced yoga for seven years and taught for four, currently teaching Vinyasa and Rocket at YogaSource Palo Alto and, recently, at Equinox Palo Alto. For little ones, I keep it playful on purpose — that's how kids build focus, resilience, and calm without ever feeling taught.
We practice at Windmill School in Portola Valley, next to the trails and Little People's Park — the kind of morning that's good for the whole family.
Both classes follow the same theme and build on what we've been learning together — the only difference is who's in the room.
Your child comes on their own and finds their footing in a warm, steady group. Independence, focus, and a room that feels safe enough to be silly in.
You're on the mat right alongside your little one. A shared, unhurried 45 minutes — breathing, balancing, and giggling together.
The fun is the point — and it's exactly how three-to-seven-year-olds build these without ever feeling taught.
Real coordination and body awareness, built through poses that feel like a game.
Simple breath tools for moving from big energy to calm — ones they'll actually use.
Trying, wobbling, and trying again in a room where that's exactly the point.
Eight weeks with the same small group is where the bonds form.
In our 45 minutes together, we move through animal poses, balance challenges, breathing games, and playful mini-adventures — building strength, coordination, confidence, and body awareness along the way.
Children practice listening to their bodies, trying brave things, and discovering how to move from big energy to steady calm — a skill I hope they carry home long after class ends.
This fall there are two ways to practice — one where your child comes on their own, and one where you're on the mat right alongside them. Both are inspired by the same theme and build on what we've been learning together; the difference is just who's in the room. Have a look at both and pick whichever fits your family.
“When a space feels physically and psychologically safe, children are free to explore, take risks, and relax into their growth.”
— Teacher Lindsay
Side effects may include: deeper nighttime breaths, spontaneous downward dogs in the living room, and a new favorite way to spend a Saturday morning. Many families love to keep the connection going after class — the Windmill School campus sits next to beautiful trails and Little People's Park. And one of the loveliest parts of our yoga adventures is the community that grows alongside it: some children and families have connected really meaningfully through class. Bring a friend from school, a neighbor, a cousin — it's so fun when we get to meet new friends at yoga! 🌈
Both classes are inspired by a theme and build on what we've been learning together — the difference is whether you're on the mat too. Choose Solo Flow (10:00) if your child lights up at having their own thing, and Family Flow (11:00) if you suspect they'll want you close by for support and encouragement, if they're on the younger end, or if you think it'll help them focus.
I doubt it!! Kids yoga is built to be fun and playful, and to productively move that energy. Sometimes we stay on our mats, sometimes we move around the room, sometimes we come to the front for a game or gather into a circle — all of which is to say, it's nothing like adult yoga :) I've yet to have a child be too antsy for kids yoga, and a little teacherly aside from me mid-class is usually all it takes if someone needs a reminder about the norms of the space.
Yes!! Many siblings love doing kids yoga together. The range is 3–7, and children at both the youngest and the oldest end get a lot out of it.
You've got options — the full 8-week series, a flexible 4-week session (October or November), or single drop-ins. If you already know fall travel will take a few Saturdays, a 4-week session or drop-ins may fit best. All classes cap at 14 children, and series families hold their spots for all eight weeks, so drop-in availability depends on what's left. I don't offer make-ups in the other class time — each class builds its own little community across the weeks, and I'd rather protect that than shuffle children between rooms.
Nope — go enjoy your morning! I just need a cell number where I can reach you for the full 45 minutes, and I ask that you're back by 10:45 for pick-up. You'll also let me know who else is authorized to pick your child up.
Comfy clothes you can move in and bare feet. If you have a yoga mat, please bring it — there are a few available on site as well. A water bottle is optional, and there are bathrooms just outside the yoga space.
There is! October 31 falls on a Saturday this year, so we'll make it a Halloween-themed adventure. Costumes welcome, as long as your child can still move and see :)

If either class ends up with 4 or fewer children, I'll reach out to offer a full refund or a spot in the other class time. These classes are at their best with a small group to grow alongside.
