Bring the joy of connection into your living room, personalized for the needs of your family members and lifestyle on any given day!
- Enjoy family time honoring the inner feelings, needs and truths of the people you are closest to.
- We will tell age appropriate stories, play games, sing songs, practice mindfulness, and find a balanced center for the family to focus on.
Play together as we develop a shared language around how to handle stress, tension, and big emotions throughout the day.
We begin private programs with a child-centered intake, that allows us to collaborate with parents in the creation of prioritized goals for the child. One-on-one sessions with the child in your home or a comfortable location will focus on teaching the child the tools necessary to achieve these goals on their own in a committed daily or weekly practice.
Ongoing private sessions can help support general resilience and emotional regulation, as well as specific issues such as
- Sibling Adjustment
- Divorce Response
- ASD
- ADHD
- Performance Stress
- Athletic Injury
“The yoga class Courtney leads is the most beautiful piece of teaching I have ever seen. She is so present, so filled with love, so playful, so willing to let each child be where he or she is at. She is a joy to watch.”
“After a series of mindfulness sessions with Little Buddhas, my seven-year-old child with high functioning autism observed his 4-year-old brother having a tantrum, and he said to me, ‘He needs to go learn some yoga exercises.’”</span
