About this Event

In a world that tells our children to hurry, compete, and constantly achieve, what would it mean to teach them that rest is holy?

During this special one-hour workshop, children will gather for lunch and story time about presence and peace. After the story, we’ll gently explore yoga as a spiritual practice — a way people around the world connect breath, body, and spirit.

Together, the children will move through a playful and meaningful Values Yoga Series, exploring:

  • Love
  • Justice
  • Equity
  • Transformation
  • Pluralism
  • Interdependence
  • Generosity

We’ll close with a short guided rest to remind our children of something our faith teaches clearly: you are enough, even when you are still.

No prior yoga experience is needed, just comfy clothes and an open heart. This workshop is inclusive, accessible, and focused on embodiment, compassion, and connection — not perfection.

Come ready to breathe, stretch, and rest together.
