Yoga for Children - 1st/2nd grade Yoga for young ones requires a lot of energy and a little bit of imagination.

In addition to strength, balance, and flexibility, a foundation for mindfulness is created. Relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and visualization will help your young ones develop along the path of yoga. Former SAS teacher Laura Fitzpatrick, now works independently as a registered yoga teacher developing yoga practices for individuals and small groups based on student needs.

Sneak peek of Act II play: The Burglars Christmas It used to be a very nice neighborhood until the Bruisers moved in. For those of you that don’t know, that’s Betty Bruiser and her awful son’s Buster and Blackeye. They’ve never done an honest days work in their lives; the only trade they know is “burglary” and “bullying”, that is until they come up against the ever vigilant Mr. Plod the Policeman. Christmas is just around the corner and Mr. Plod has been out and about warning the local townsfolk to lock up tight as the Bruisers are on the prowl. He’s had a special word with Fran and Fritz, the local Toymakers, as their toys are VERY special and highly sought after. What could possibly go wrong now and why is the Ghost of Despair floating above town?

Sneak peek of Act III play: The Night Before Xmas It’s Christmas Eve in London; it’s cold and the snow is falling. Jemima and Tilly stand looking at their very bare Christmas tree wondering if their father will get the bonus Mr. Goodie has promised. At Mr. Goodies office his lonely daughter Sophie patiently waits for her father to finish work while his very patient secretary, Violet, fields yet another phone call asking for Christmas help. At the Brummage Orphanage, owners Bertle and Rummage are only interested in one thing, money, and lots of it. Poor orphans Fingers, Tweek, Tilly and Daisy even have to work on Christmas Eve. What could possibly happen to change the lives of all these people? Could it be something very small or something very dramatic, or could it be a little of both!
