Munchkin Yoga for Kids
Munchkin Yoga fuses the art of play and traditional yoga to make a fun yoga sequence developed by Yoga Synergy for kids. Children explore their imagination, develop their physical strength and endurance while cultivating balance, concentration and stillness.

About Munchkin Yoga
These fun open classes are structured in the Yoga Synergy Style for kids between the ages of 4-12 years old. Children are led to participate in a fantasy world revolving around the animal and plant kingdoms. They learn safe and effective body movements, postures and breathing execises that prepare them for adult yoga in the future while developing their fitness, flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, internal physiology as well their imagination.
Munchkin Yoga was devised by Simon and Vitoria Borg-Olivier and uses the intelligently designed Yoga Synergy sequences as a foundation. Munchkin Yoga recently completed a 9 week course for the primary school children of the Montessori School in Bondi. The 60 children of all ages warmly welcomed us every week with regular attendance and significant progress on all levels during the 2 months we taught them.
Munchkin yoga classes are 45 minutes long and are only $15 per class. They are currently held at 3.45 - 4.30pm at our Bondi School and at 3.45 - 4.30pm on Tuesdays and at the Newtown School on Thursdays (see above for term start date). The main teacher of Munchkin yoga at YogaSynergy, Vitoria Borg-Olivier has been practicing yoga and meditation for 12 years and has been teaching Munchkin Yoga at schools for the last 2 years.
