Please read through the website, as you are guided, for a glimpse of who we are and to see what services we once offered. There are pictures throughout the website that might spark an interest.
Now that everyone is maneuvering through uncharted waters generated by the Coronavirus, we are not presently offering any classes.
As we now head into summer, it is apparent that we will not have summer yoga camp as in the past 19 years; however, if you need resources or ideas for summer yoga activities please contact me and I will try to offer some suggestions.
Please open "More...and scroll down to BLOG" to find child friendly yoga poses, meditations, mindfulness, relaxing and breathing exercises. There are usually new ideas added weekly or more often.
I realize that it might be necessary for children to access the ideas on their own or with minimal assistance while parents work from home or in one way or another. With this in mind, I am trying to make my comments more child accessible but still most are suitable for family discussion.
STAY SAFE - STAY KIND - LOVE IS CONTGIOUS TOO!

Barbara and Jennifer Westgate were the first two in Ontario, Canada to be Certified Children's Yoga Teachers through YogaKids International. Since, they have both studied with many other renown leaders in the field of children's yoga, in areas of particular interest to each. Jennifer has especially enjoyed studying with Sonia Sumar (Yoga for the Special Child), and has a particular interest in parenting with heart. Barbara has made social and emotional well-being a priority in her extended studies. Together and separately, they have been bringing yoga to children and their families in London, ON and area for over 15 years through private and group classes, community and school visits and "playshops" in schools and children's facilities including Thames Valley Children's Centre and CPRI.
Jennifer has an Honors Psychology Degree and a Masters Speech-Language Pathology Degree. As well, she is a Certified Reflexologist, has her 2nd Degree Reiki and her basic HANDLE training. She brings many years of experience working with children of most ages and abilities to her private classes. Appointments may be made for Children's Yoga (including Reflexology or Reiki if desired) or Reflexology Treatments for children or adults or Private Speech for children. You may reach Jennifer at jewes23@hotmail.com.
Barbara has a Behaviour Science background. She was a child care provider and consultant for over 25 years. Barbara is a Teacher/Practitioner in the (Usui) Holy Fire, Karuna and Reiki Drum Healing traditions. She is also a Practitioner/Tutor of Metamorphosis. Private appointments may be made in these modalities for children and adults, or children may experience any of these calming and soothing energy practices within private or group classes upon request. Barbara's Roots and Wings (social/emotional well-being) has been enhanced with Teach Children Meditation training (with Lorraine Murray) and is popular with children with anxiety, focusing or other life challenges, either through regular yoga classes or privately by appointment. Please contact Barbara at natural_child@hotmail.com for more details.
