Studio in Details
Overview
Yoga Bees, located in Coquitlam, is a wellness studio dedicated to bringing yoga and mindfulness to children. The studio envisions itself as a leading provider of wellness services and products for kids in the region, offering personalized programmes that promote health and well-being. The focus is on making yoga accessible, playful, and engaging for young participants, with an emphasis on holistic development rather than just physical exercise.
Classes are designed to be fun and age-appropriate, incorporating games, stories, and creative naming of poses to capture children’s imagination. The studio aims to create a nurturing environment where kids can explore movement, breathing, and relaxation in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
Class Structure and Activities
Each class at Yoga Bees follows a consistent structure that begins with space holding and a warm-up, followed by different breathing techniques. Yoga and mindfulness are practiced through interactive games and stories, making the sessions lively and engaging. The classes include a variety of poses that help increase strength, flexibility, and coordination, all tailored for children.
A distinctive part of the class is the end, where children spend time in Savasana (lying down) with a blanket, accompanied by relaxation and meditation practices. The feedback from kids is that class ends too fast, which the studio considers the best compliment. The approach ensures that children not only learn yoga but also develop a positive association with stillness and self-awareness.
What to Bring and Visitor Experience
Visitors to Yoga Bees are advised to wear comfortable leggings and a T-shirt. A water bottle and a comfort item—such as a stuffed animal or blanket—are also recommended to enhance the experience. The studio welcomes families during normal business hours and encourages questions via email for any additional inquiries.
The atmosphere is centered around fun and breathing together, creating a community feel. While the studio focuses on children’s wellness, the personalized programmes cater to individual needs, ensuring each child gets the attention they require. The overall experience is designed to be enjoyable, relaxing, and supportive, fostering a love for yoga from an early age.
