Sharing creative movement, yoga and pure joy, Motion & Me is the premier extracurricular program off Imagination moves everything!

Motion & Me uses a multi-sensory approach to teaching (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) that is a fun and effective way to promote development via an imagination-packed and unique combination of music, movement, props and motor skill activities. Every class includes a collaborative activity that succeeds only if we work together in a non-competitive environment as well as a"kindness component"

that encourages thoughtful interaction with others. A healthy body, cognitive connections, social and emotional expression, confidence, creativity and JOY! Founded in1985 as Wee Dance, the Motion & Me program continues to flourish with an ever-evolving curriculum and the amazing applause and support of the child development community. With in-school classes, community classes, Yoga for Kids, Parent-Child Playshops, teacher workshops, birthday parties and special events, Motion & Me would love to be a part of your experience that honors and celebrates children.

🤗 What she said!

Would YOU like being forced to sit at a desk or table or carpet spot for hours at a time?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Children are the same - and their bodies need movement more frequently. As adults we have learned to cope by swaying in our chair, tapping our feet, or moving our bodies in ways that aren't distracting for others - because we need that sensory release.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Children are the same! Children’s brains haven’t developed that impulse control yet. Which is all the more reason to let them move!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Children moving through play develop motor skills (fine and large), hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving. All of these skills are essential for future learning, academic and otherwise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I was recently asked in a public forum if I've ever taught mindfulness to children. The question threw me. Yes, no, maybe, ...
