Blossom Yoga for Children

Classes at our Blossom Yoga School take place on Saturdays at Leicester High School, 454 London Road, Leicester, LE2 2PP.

Lil’ Buds (3-7 year olds): 9.00am to 10.00am on Saturdays.
Lil’ Buds (3-7 year olds): 10.00am to 11.00am on Saturdays.
Big Buds (8-12 year olds): 11.00am to 12.00pm on Saturdays.
Teen Buds (13-17 year olds): 12.00pm to 1.00pm on Saturdays.

During Lil’ Buds classes children take part in creative stories and exciting adventures, such as pirate treasure hunts or trips to the circus. Their imaginations are stimulated whilst practicing safe yoga postures that represent animals or objects which feature in the adventures. In effect, the children perform yoga without knowing it!

During Big Buds classes children are led through creative and educational themes such as the Olympics or parts of the body. Classes involve Pranayama or breathing exercises, a warm up or Surya Namaskar and a variety of Warrior, Triangle, Balance, Twist, Sitting, Backbend and Inversion postures.

During Teen Buds classes teenagers are taught yoga based on the Sun Power Yoga School of Yoga which is an eclectic mix of Dynamic Hatha, Sivananda and Astanga Vinyasa yoga. Classes involve Pranayama or breathing exercises, a warm up or Surya Namaskar and a variety of Warrior, Triangle, Balance, Twist, Sitting, Backbend and Inversion postures. These flow together as a dynamic sequence based on themes such as energy centres or balance.

Blossom Yoga has designed its very own yoga syllabus incorporating five grades for each class level. When children or teenagers achieve a grade they are awarded a badge, certificate and report. This works brilliantly as they really feel a sense of achievement.
