JAYA STRONG is Shakti's mind-body practice for youth. Honoring the traditions of Hatha Yoga and Kalaripayattu (Indian Martial Arts) as these practices remain relevant in our modern world. Our students build strength, flexibility, coordination and endurance. This is a hybrid style class that works with each student's level. If your child is interested in participating we feel it's important to have them come and try a class or observe to see if it's something that feels right for them. We welcome all levels in class, no prior experience necessary.  No pressure and no competition We train with our own bodies and occasional use of props for target training and balance. We go through routine warm ups, traditional sequences, animal postures and breathwork to enhance focus and endurance. We train indoors at the studio. On occasion, we may train outdoors at the park and parents will be informed in advance. It's amazing to witness our young people building awareness of their own bodies in space, as well as a deeper sense of comfort and confidence in who they are and of what they're capable. Strength. Grace. Compassion. Awareness. - Annelize
