Decatur Yoga & Pilates is proud to be the home of the ground-breaking yoga program for “kids” of all ages. Grounded: Yoga, Laughter, Elevation. Created by the original YogaKids trainers / facilitators, Cheryl Crawford and Amy Haysman, Grounded continues to bring the highest quality of kid (4-7), tween (7-11) and teen (11-16) yoga classes to DYP. In Grounded classes, we share the transformational benefits of yoga with children, teachers and parents seeking balance in their lives, and we give them tools to manage their physical and emotional responses to life. Our Grounded yoga program encourages students to reach for the wisdom within themselves and enables them to connect with their bodies and feel empowered and confident. Inspired by the children and adults in our lives, we've created a unique program whereby we all get grounded, have the freedom to laugh about it and ultimately enjoy the elevation that comes with the practice of Yoga.
