It's May. Your classroom sounds like a zoo. Here's your secret weapon 🤫🥚🐰

This is the Sleeping Bunny Listening Game. It’s one of my favorite mindful movement games to play in yoga club, the classroom, or even at home!

All you need is an egg shaker and an eye mask.

Kids sit in a circle. One child is the Sleeping Bunny, they close their eyes and use their ears to figure out who shook the egg.

That's it. And they BEG to play it again and again!

✨ It builds:
→ Listening skills
→ Focus & attention
→ Self-regulation
→ Turn-taking & connection

Minnesota Parents, does your kid have a place to land this May? 🌸

After a full day of school, most kids don’t need more pressure. They need somewhere to move, reset, and feel like themselves again. That’s exactly what we create at every single class.

This May we have 5 programs designed for kids and families in the New Brighton area, including something really special for Mother’s Day that I can’t wait to tell you about.

👇 Here’s everything happening:

🧘 Mindful Movement Kids™ — Studio Series

A small-group kids yoga and mindfulness club where children build confidence, learn calming tools, and feel like they belong. Not competitive. Not pressured. Just a really good hour for your kid.

📅 Tuesdays: May 5, 12, 19 & 26 | 5:05–5:55 PM
📍 New Brighton Community Center | Ages Pre-K–5th Grade

🌷 Mother’s Day Mindfulness & Bloom Bar

Instead of another rushed brunch — give her something that lasts. This heartwarming workshop brings moms and kids together for gentle partner yoga, mindfulness, gratitude activities, and a DIY floral bouquet experience. It’s calm, connected, and genuinely beautiful.

📅 Saturday, May 9 | 10:05–10:55 AM
📍 New Brighton Community Center | 1 Adult + 1 Child

🐾 Pose & Play™: Puppy Yoga Camp

Non-school day on May 22? Sorted. A playful half-day camp combining yoga, mindfulness, movement, and the best kind of wiggly distraction — puppies.

📅 Friday, May 22 | 9:05–11:55 AM
📍 New Brighton Community Center | Grades K–6th

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Yoga Series

This isn’t about being good at yoga. It’s about 45 minutes where your whole family moves, breathes, and actually reconnects. All ages welcome. Limited to 5–10 families so it stays small and special.

📅 Sundays: May 17, 24, 31 & June 7 | 9:05–9:50 AM
📍 New Brighton Community Center | All Ages

🦄 Pose & Play™: Squishmallow Yoga Camp

Memorial Day sorted! A cozy, creative, joyful non-school day camp where kids stretch, create crafts, play games, and recharge with their favorite squishy friends.

📅 Monday, May 26 | 9:05–11:55 AM
📍 New Brighton Community Center | Grades K–6th

All programs are led by licensed teacher and mindfulness educator Tara Willits in small, supportive groups where every child feels successful. No yoga experience needed, just comfortable clothes and a readiness to have fun.

Most kids don’t need more pressure after school…
they need a place to exhale 💛

If your child:

You are NOT alone, and this is exactly why I created this program.

• proud of themselves
• using calming tools at home

Most kids don’t need more pressure on their day off school…
They need a place to exhale. 🧘‍♀️✨

That’s exactly what we create in our kids yoga & mindfulness camps in New Brighton 💛

Not every kids activity has to be loud, rushed, and overstimulating.

Some kids need:
✔ a calm space
✔ a small group
✔ movement without pressure
✔ time to just be kids

In our Pose & Play™ kids camps, I see it every time…

The kids who walk in unsure…
leave feeling:

💛 calmer
💛 more confident
💛 proud of themselves

🐶 We’re doing it again… but with PUPPIES

Most kids don’t need more pressure on their day off school…
They need a place to exhale. 🧘‍♀️✨

I see it every week in my kids yoga classes in New Brighton…

The kids who:
• don’t love competitive sports
• feel shy or overwhelmed
• need confidence
• have big feelings

…walk in unsure.

And then something shifts 💕

They start to:
✨ open up
✨ relax their bodies
✨ laugh
✨ feel proud of themselves

No pressure.
No performance.
Just movement, mindfulness, and connection.

Today we hosted a Teddy Bear Yoga Tea Party experience and the transformation was incredible!

And now…

🐶 We’re doing it again… but with PUPPIES

I made something really special for Mother’s Day this year 💖

Not just stickers…

These are designed to help kids:
✨ feel loved
✨ connect with a parent
✨ slow down and be present

It’s such a simple activity, but honestly… it creates really meaningful moments 🥺

Perfect for:
✔ classrooms or workshops
✔ yoga classes
✔ or just something sweet to do at home

I’ll put the link in the comments if anyone wants to check it out 💛

Ps: All of my local Mamas coming to our Mother's Day Mindfulness Workshop get one FREE 💕

Most kids aren’t struggling because they lack tools…

They’re struggling because no one has taught them how to use them 💓

That’s why I love this activity so much 👇

Instead of just handing kids calming tools…

we teach them how to actually use them, in real life.

✨ Make & Take: Calming Creations ✨

Kids create their own personalized calm kits with:
• tools they choose
• strategies they understand
• skills they can actually use

And the shift is HUGE.

Instead of:
“Calm down”

You’ll start to hear:
“I know what helps me”
“I need a minute”
“I’m going to use my tools”

This is especially important for tweens 💛

That in-between stage where:
• confidence is shaky
• emotions feel bigger
• social pressure increases

✨ That’s exactly why I created:

Confidence in Motion: Tween Self-Expression Camp (Ages 9–13)

A small-group, studio-based camp where tweens build:
✔ confidence
✔ emotional regulation
✔ self-expression

through movement, journaling, creative projects, and calming tools like this.

📍 New Brighton Community Center
📅 June 8–11
⏰ 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
👥 Only 12 spots (intentionally small group)

This is for the tween who:
• is a little shy or unsure of themselves
• has big feelings but doesn’t know what to do with them
• needs a confidence boost in a safe, supportive space

Comment CONFIDENCE and I’ll send you the registration link & details 💛

If your child is:

• Doesn’t love team sports
• Needs movement after school

This is exactly what they need.

Not every child loves sports…
but every child still needs movement, confidence, and a place to belong 💛

If your child is:
✔️ shy or slow to warm up
✔️ has big feelings
✔️ doesn’t enjoy competitive activities
✔️ needs something positive after school

This might be exactly what you’ve been looking for 👇

I’m opening a small-group Mindful Movement Kids™ Yoga & Mindfulness Program in New Brighton, and we start in just 2 weeks.

This is NOT a competitive class.

It’s a supportive, calm space where kids:
✨ build real confidence
✨ learn calming tools for big emotions
✨ move, play, and feel successful
✨ make positive friendships

As a licensed teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful this kind of space can be, especially for kids who don’t always feel like they “fit” in traditional activities.

Not every child loves competitive sports…
but every child still needs movement 💛

This is one of my favorite ways to help kids build focus, confidence, and calm through play 👇

It’s called Yoga Hopscotch 🧘‍♀️✨

✔️ Easy to set up
✔️ Works at home or in the classroom
✔️ Great for kids with big energy or big feelings
✔️ Helps kids practice balance, focus, and self-regulation

Save this idea for later, you’ll use it more than you think!
