Mindful Movement Kids™
Weekly Yoga & Mindfulness Classes With Monthly Collectible Badges
A boutique, small-group studio experience for children Pre-K through 5th grade — where every session builds real skills, and every month your child earns something beautiful to show for it.
WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE IN THE METRO
Every Month, Your Child Earns a Badge!
Every child who completes a session earns a limited-edition, illustrated collectible badge designed around that month's mindfulness theme. These aren't participation trophies — they're high-quality, collectable, beautifully designed badges representing a real skill your child practiced, explored, and genuinely owns.

A Small-Group Wellness Studio. For Kids.
Mindful Movement Kids™ Studio Series is the only ongoing, badge-based kids yoga and mindfulness program in the Twin Cities north metro.
This isn't a drop-in class. It's a consistent, relationship-based experience where children build on what they learned last week, deepen their connection with the same small group of peers, and grow in ways that compound over time.
✔ Year-round enrollment — new 4-week sessions every month
✔ Same educator, same small group, real continuity
✔ Monthly collectible badge earned every session
✔ Boutique enrollment — spots deliberately limited
✔ Direct registration — no district account needed
✔ New Brighton Community Center · Tuesdays 5:05–5:55 PM
THE STUDIO SERIES
Kids Who Stay Build Something Visible.
One of the most powerful things about the monthly badge system is what happens over time. A child who has attended for six months has six badges. A child who has been coming for a year has twelve.
Those badges on a water bottle or backpack aren't decoration — they're a visible record of persistence, growth, and skill. Parents tell us their kids carry their tumbler to school just to show their friends.
New badge designs are released every month.
No two months share the same badge.
Once a session closes, that month's badge is retired.
THE COLLECTION GROWS WITH THEM
"Children learn while moving, exploring, and feeling genuinely successful."
More Than Yoga. A Toolkit for Life.
Every 50-minute session follows a rhythm children quickly learn to love. Each week's content is new — but the structure stays consistent, which is exactly what kids who need predictability respond to best.
WHAT HAPPENS EVERY CLASS
✔ Grounding arrival breath
✔ Playful yoga movement by monthly theme
✔ Mindfulness & breathing techniques
✔ Cooperative games & partner activities
✔ Guided imagination & relaxation
✔ Badge celebration at session's end
WHAT KIDS BUILD OVER TIME
✔ Calming strategies for big emotions
✔ Body awareness & coordination
✔ Focus & attention tools
✔ Confidence in a non-competitive space
✔ Genuine friendships in a small group
✔ A growing collection of earned badges
INSIDE A MINDFUL MOVEMENT KIDS™ CLASS
Especially Designed for Children Who...
✔ Don't love competitive sports
✔ Are shy or slow to warm up
✔ Have big feelings or anxiety
✔ Benefit from smaller groups
✔ Need movement after school
✔ Enjoy creative, imaginative activities
✔ Need a confidence boost
✔ Thrive with consistency & routine
Not every child belongs in a competitive team sport — but every child still needs movement, connection, and a place to feel genuinely capable. No yoga experience needed. No flexibility required.
IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?
