Homa Hanjani Tabatabai has been an elementary school teacher for over 10 years and after taking time off to raise her own two boys she became a certified children?s yoga instructor, through It?s Yoga Kids in the Presidio. Having practiced yoga herself for many years and remembering her own first yoga lesson as a little girl at age 10, she wanted to share her love of yoga with other children. For the past two years, Ms. Homa has been teaching children ages 2.5 through 11 years old during after school programs and at her own home in the Richmond District. Yoga birthday will be a 45 minutes long interactive yoga, music, and fun for the birthday child and his/her friends. It will begin with an opening circle, songs, warm up, movement and music to incorporate the basic yoga moves imitating wild and domestic animals, followed by a breathing exercise and cool down. It is active, develops body awareness and allows kids to use their imagination while making their bodies feel happy, balanced and finally calm. The birthday child will receive a ?Yoga Buddy? which is a little stuffed animal used for breathing exercises and balancing poses. The guests will each receive stickers of wild animals, some of which we will imitate in our yoga practice.
