Our story
Child’s Pose is Fairfield County’s only kids’ yoga studio offering an explorative, restorative and imaginative safe space for kids to discover the connection between body, mind and breath. Named affectionately for one of the most accessible and restorative poses, Child’s Pose understands that kids aren’t just “little adults” and believes that their yoga practice should be as unique as they are.
Our classes are expertly curated by our founder Carly Walker who holds certifications in child yoga from Karma Kids in New York City and in Deep Play with Missy Brown. Carly balances her child-specific trainings with her own personal 20+ years of personal yoga practice and a 200-hour adult yoga training with Kaia Yoga.
Each play-based class is structured as an interactive and imaginative journey into your child’s developing mind, body, and spirit. Our offerings are tailored to a variety of age groups: toddlers with parents/caregivers, preschoolers, ages 5-10 and middle school. Classes follow age-appropriate themes, poses and games and integrate fun props from stuffed animals and beanie babies to bouncy balls and balancing birds. While classes develop flexibility, coordination and focus what we are really doing is helping these tiny humans to master the ability to quiet their minds and bodies and tune into how they are feeling emotionally and physically – a skill that will benefit them for a lifetime to come.
We also strive to create an environment that is equally as restorative for busy parents, fostering conversation and connection in our studio. Chat with like-minded parents in our sun-filled studio lounge while your little ones shake their sillies out – and be sure to check out our schedule for adult-only classes soon!
We hope to see you in the studio soon!
