A Yogi’s Journey
YOGA FOR EVERY
STAGE OF GROWTH
At Little Yogi, we believe every child is like a desert blossom—unique, resilient, and ready to flourish with the right care. Our Groms Journey is a thoughtfully designed youth yoga program that grows with your child, supporting their emotional, social, and physical development every step of the way.
✨ The Journey nurtures children from playful beginnings to empowered young adulthood. Like cactus blossoms transforming the desert into an oasis, every child in our program is encouraged to grow with confidence, resilience, and joy—season after season.
Littles (Ages 1–3): Developing Autonomy
Our youngest yogis are encouraged to explore movement in a safe, playful environment. Littles children are guided to make small choices about their practice, building independence and confidence in their bodies.
With gentle guidance, toddlers learn to trust themselves and express freely. Playful activities, music, and affirming language nurture a positive sense of self, while easing fears of making mistakes.
Little Groms (Ages 4–5): Encouraging Initiative
Young children are bursting with imagination and curiosity. Through yoga storytelling, creative movement, and playful group games, Little Groms learn to take initiative and express themselves. Activities like Kindness Pebbles nurture early social skills, while gentle guidance encourages exploration without fear of mistakes. Each child begins to bloom with confidence, just like the first cactus flowers of spring.
Junior Groms (Ages 7–10): Fostering Industry
As children grow, they seek mastery and recognition of their abilities. Junior Groms classes build coordination and strength through Tree Pose, Warrior Series, and yoga relay races. Team challenges like Partner Yoga and Secret Yoga Friend inspire cooperation and responsibility, while journaling and affirmations highlight each child’s unique strengths. Positive reinforcement ensures they feel proud of their progress—never inferior.
Mighty Groms (Ages 11–14): Solidifying Competence
Pre-teens and early teens thrive on structure and challenge. Mighty Groms dive into Strength & Flow Sequences and Group Yoga Challenges that encourage perseverance and mastery. Confidence Circles, journaling, and mindfulness walks help them manage new responsibilities and discover inner strength. With each practice, they grow into capable, resilient young people ready to face life’s challenges.
Teen Groms (Ages 15–17): Strengthening Identity
For teens, yoga becomes a sanctuary for self-discovery. In Teen Groms, students set personal goals, practice guided visualization, and explore their emotions through movement and breath. With Yoga Flow Creations, they design their own sequences, reinforcing autonomy and self-confidence. Breathing practices like Box Breathing support emotional regulation, while peer support ensures they feel connected as they step into their unique identities.
