Full Bloom Children's Yoga and Mindfulness

Mindful art at GRCM was so much fun! We had a messy good time with bubble painting and blow art. Kiddos practiced noticing and controlling their breath while creating these beautiful masterpieces.

Join us over winter break for a fun and interactive mindful art session! Mindfulness can be taught in so many kid-friendly ways through music, movement, meditations, art, and more. We will be using liquid water color along with our breath to create some beautiful artwork with bubble breathing and blow art! This event is free to GRCM members and only costs the admission price for non-members.

It's happening! Since the creation of Full Bloom it has been my goal to bring yoga and mindfulness practice into the local schools. Slowly but surely, the dream is unfolding!

From Little Ones Learning Early Education to West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science to Mayflower Preschool to the PPTK program through GRPS, and now... to Thrive Learning Center!

Full Bloom will be partnering with Thrive to provide their K-2 students a yoga and mindfulness elective throughout their second term. I can't wait to see how these kids learn and grow through our time together.

Parks and Rec Yoga is back! Full Bloom played it low key last school year as I adjusted to my new position as a preschool teacher. I'm in a good groove now and ready to bring back more yoga!
This class is for kiddos ages 2-6; perfect for preschoolers and homeschool kiddos. Grown-ups are welcome to participate or just hang out! We will meet every Tuesday from 11:15-12:00 beginning on 9/23 through 10/28.
Can't wait to see you there!

I have been thinking about these beautiful nature mandalas since last week!
Our NKC makeup class was such a joy. 💚 We talked about life cycles, change, and letting go.
It was really neat to hear the kids contemplate things like how change and death contribute to life and how good it can feel to let go of things that weigh us down.
We practiced our own "letting go" by creating individual mandalas then sharing our materials to allow growth for one large group-made mandala. We left our creations to be taken by the wind or bring joy to another passerby.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate our week together and our time in nature. Thank you for a WONDERFUL session! ✌🏼💚🌳

There's still so much ahead for Full Bloom in the coming weeks!

Tomorrow kicks off a 4 week adventure with PPTK - Purposefully Playing Towards Kindergarten. This is a fantastic collaboration between GRPS and GRCM to help kiddos build kindergarten readiness skills through play and developmentally appropriate activities.

Also tomorrow, Full Bloom will be leading a BIG yoga class for the Rivertown Crossings Kids Club right in the mall! I can't wait to spend some time with a bunch of new friends sharing the joys of yoga.

Our Nature Kids Club makeup class will be held on 7/1 in Seidman Park. This class is open to ANYONE, even if you didn't attend camp last week. A Facebook event will be posted ASAP.

We are loving every minute of yoga and mindfulness fun this summer! Sending a big THANK YOU to so many kiddos and families who are attending these classes and programs.

My heart is so full! ✌🏼💚🧘🏼‍♀️

We closed out the week with our annual creek day at Palmer Park! We completed a scavenger hunt, made sand creatures, played red light green light (yoga style) and made friendship bracelets. The kiddos also shared treasures and their favorite parts of camp.
I'm a little glad we still have a makeup class coming up because I can't get enough of these amazing nature kids!

✌🏼💚🌳
