Enrich Kids’ Lives with Yoga
While They Learn about Zoo Animals

Fun and Educational Presentations and Workshops

NOTE: All events are designed for children ages 3–8 and can be conducted in-person or virtually.

Family Yoga at the Zoo

Families have fun together while learning how to calm their minds and bodies doing simple yoga poses. Each class combines yoga, music, and games. Several poses are related to zoo animals, such as the elephant and flamingo poses. At the end of the class, families have a chance to share what they are grateful for. (30 to 45 minutes)

Kids Yoga at the Zoo

This event mixes games and singing with yoga to help kids stay engaged. Kids are taught standing poses based on zoo animals such as elephants, lions, giraffes, and flamingos. Kids share what their favorite zoo animals are, and each child receives an animal sticker to remind them of the zoo and the yoga poses they did. (30 to 45 minutes)

Yoga Scavenger Hunt at the Zoo

Families meet at a designated location and are given a map of the zoo. Teresa leads the families to several locations, where kids look for specific animals and learn a related yoga pose—for example, frog pose in the amphibian area and monkey pose in the primate area. Kids will get a sticker to put on their map next to each area they visit. After the last exhibit, Teresa will talk about the yoga poses they did and the animals they saw before families head their separate ways. (1 to 2 hours, depending on the zoo and the number of areas visited)
