Baobab Kids Yoga

Presenting two workshops at the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Early Years Conference 2026. First workshop “mindfulness and yoga for Neurodivergent Children” went so well! So much fun and energizing! This afternoon it’s “Empowering Children:nurturing consent and autonomy”
This is my view

Does your child love to explore? Are they full of questions and wondering about the world around them? Do they want to make a friend? Does your child need extra support or have a disability? We are so excited for another season of Outdoor Adventure Groups, a fully inclusive and ND-affirming outdoor group for children! Join The Wonder Seekers as we explore parks and trails, and connect to the land and each other! We have groups in both Abbotstford and Maple Ridge!

Come and join us for some nature fun!

Do you have a teen interested in trying new things or meeting new people? Does your teen need a little extra support? Have traditional social groups not been a fit? The Wild Thinkers, our Outdoor Adventure Group for teens may be the place for them! Join Brea, Karen, and Elizabeth and explore local trails and parks, trying new skills, and building connections to each other! We have two groups running this season, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford!

This is not your regular yoga class! Every 60 minute session will incorporate exercise (partner poses, create your own flow, yoga games etc), yogified games and music and all the traditional benefits of yoga-meditation, breathing techniques and relaxation.

Please take time today to pause, reflect and to honour those who are no longer with us and those who are. The wounds run deep and we must all work towards reconciliation.

Come and join me for some outside adventures! This is an inclusive program and funding options are on the flyers!

Bumblebee Breath (also known as Bhramari Pranayama) is a simple yet powerful breathing technique that can be especially calming for kids.

How to practice it: Inhale through the nose, plug your ears and close your eyes. Exhale with a humming sound. Listen and feel the vibration in your head. Repeat two more times.

Workshop Description: Participants will explore why After School Care is vital to a child’s development and social well-being. They will learn how to create an inclusive and engaging environment, how to support social and emotional development and how to navigate the complex challenges that school age providers may encounter in their practice. We will explore the value of risky play and how to incorporate it into a School Aged program
