Some of our Collaborators:

Bija Kid’s Yoga

Bija Kids is a children’s yoga program based in Brooklyn, NY. Yoga provides children of all ages with invaluable tools that lay the foundation for a healthy, peaceful and happy life.  Through yoga children gain increased focus, discipline, a healthy body image, flexibility, strength, and techniques for dealing with stress. Yoga practices also develop self awareness and coping skills while providing a great physical workout in a nurturing, non-competitive environment.Bija Kids’ philosophy is based on the idea that all seeds or bija (in Sanskrit) have the ability to flourish with proper care and nurturing.  Classes instruct children in physical postures (asana), breathing practices (pranayama), and age appropriate meditation techniques in a lively and creative setting. For more information please visit Bija Kids.

Child’s Play

Child’s Play NY is a theater program that blends dramatic play and acting training for young people.  Children build confidence and exercise their imaginations while learning about the performing arts.  In their programs, kids can explore everything from fairy-tales to Shakespeare to musicals; creating characters and living inside of classic stories. Professional performers and teachers lead classes, camps and workshops throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. For more information visit Child’s Play NY

Creative Kids

The integration of art in a child’s development can advance creativity and imagination while refining important motor skills. Clay is an enthralling and tactile medium for children to explore and express their artistic creativity. Students will learn different skills in hand-building pottery. In each class, I introduce a new project or idea, presenting different clay mediums and techniques to make fun,unique projects such as sculptural self-portraits or animal coil pots. The children are invited to use these innovative project ideas as a starting point to create a piece of art that is all their own; clay is the perfect versatile medium for kids to really explore their creative ideas. I encourage the children to share their goals for the day’s ceramics project, opening up an important dialogue between the children, their art and myself.

Gymstars and Circus Skills

Gymnastics:  A fun-filled workshop with exciting skills:  brightly colored equipment and choreographed movement routines to motivate and challenge your child; all while having tremendous amounts of fun.  The class starts with lively music and dance to warm up for the obstacle course—arabesque on the beam, back roll down the cheese mat, cartwheel over the rainbow.  Our gymnasts are led through an action packed course of colorful, fun & tactile equipment, learning developmental gymnastic skills & sports movements as they master the challenges in their paths.

Circus Skills:  Learn from Circus Professionals!  Juggling (scarves, balls, clubs, rings and monkey juggle), rolla bolla, stilt walking (from 6 inches to 2 feet high), plate spinning and spin jammers, rolling globe and tight rope, poi flags and hula hoop tricks,classic clown games and skits, pyramids and magic – We bring the circus to you!  We teach the craft of stagemenship!   Each class ends with a performance of skills! For more information please visit Gym Stars

Soccer

More than anything  else, learning to play soccer will be made fun.  Coach Magnus creates a supportive and positive environment that makes the challenges that come to learning to play soccer and achieving other set goals less demanding to attain. Certain drills deal with the mental aspect of the game by building a child’s ability to concentrate and focus; other drills deal with the physical aspect of the game by building their motor skills through exercises that enhances their balance and coordination. While these individual developments are important, it is all done in a setting that fosters and strongly emphasizes the concept of teamwork.
