Led by the vibrant and experienced Stav, this class offers children a joyful introduction to mindfulness, movement, and emotional awareness. Through a mix of yoga, breathing exercises, storytelling, music, puppetry, and crafts, children learn to connect with their feelings, build resilience, and develop social-emotional skills—all in a nurturing, judgment-free space. With a unique blend of creativity and calm, Mindful Start helps kids feel seen, supported, and empowered… because it’s always okay to feel.
