Toddler yoga class is a playful and interactive experience designed to introduce young children, typically between the ages of 1 and 4, to the basics of yoga through simple movements, breathing exercises, and mindfulness activities. These classes are usually short (15–30 minutes) to accommodate toddlers' shorter attention spans and are structured around engaging themes, stories, or songs to keep them entertained while practicing.

In toddler yoga, the focus is not on achieving perfect poses, but on encouraging movement, coordination, and self-expression. Activities may include:

• Animal Poses: Simple, fun poses like "downward dog," "cat-cow," or "butterfly" to mimic animals, helping with flexibility and body awareness.

• Breathing Techniques: Toddlers may practice deep breathing, often with fun imagery (e.g., pretending to blow out a candle or take a "dragon breath").

• Balance and Coordination: Easy balance exercises, such as standing on one foot or stretching, help develop motor skills.

• Playful Songs and Rhymes: Incorporating music and movement, where the child can dance or move in rhythm, builds body awareness and social skills.

• Mindfulness and Relaxation: Gentle stretches and quiet moments where toddlers can relax and focus, helping to calm their minds and bodies.
