In Balance Yoga offers Virtual Classes and Parties for Kids!

May 10, 2020

Cultivating your household’s inner zen may seem laughable given how quickly our daily rhythms and realities have changed in the NRV and the greater world. The new challenges of our time also offer space to grow, change our daily patterns, and embrace the chaos from a place of centered love, acceptance, and humor. Staying at home doesn’t mean you have to disconnect from your yoga practice and community h’OM’e at In Balance Yoga in Blacksburg! It is always our greatest intention to build connection, community, and love whether we are in person at the studio or sending our energy through the internet directly into the home. Flexibility isn’t just about mastering the latest asana pose on your mat, but also about learning new ways to support family, community, and self throughout the day, every day. If we’re going to be honest, some days managing all these new demands seems much more challenging than a simple sirsasana (headstand)! 

Kids can get their giggles and wiggles out through kids’ yoga offerings on zoom in real-time: they can practice their balance with a stuffed animal friend, remember to breathe in a snuggly meditation with a sibling or parent, or even practice their aerial yoga skills (no hammock required)!  In addition to real-time classes we have pre-recorded several sessions that members can access any time. You can contact the studio at any time to set up a private birthday yoga session via zoom with your favorite teacher and your chosen birthday friends. 

In addition to classes for our littlest yogis and zen masters, we continue to offer a wide variety of class types every day for adults, including hot sequence, flow, yin, barre, Pilates, and restorative, via zoom. Although we all certainly miss gathering in person at our studios, zooming together offers time with your favorite teachers at home (and often involves inadvertent canine and feline “guests” as pets hop onto the mat to offer furry “assists”!). Studio members also have access to pre-recorded classes from over twenty different teachers to connect with during any part of their day. Drop-In class rates, 10 class pass, and membership rates are available at our website: www.inbalanceyogastudio.com
