Storytime Yoga—Yoga for Toddlers (Parent Participation required)

Yoga and Mindfulness are incredible tools to help calm the mind and body. Children greatly benefit from this practice, as it supports their physical and emotional health, increasing strength, coordination and flexibility while also giving them the tools for emotional regulation, increasing focus, decreasing stress and anxiety, and boosting self esteem.

Storytime Yoga uses the power of story and imagination to teach children yoga poses, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to increase overall health and happiness while connecting with the important adults in their lives. We’ll bark in downward dog, jump like a frog, and smell the flowers, all while gaining the benefits listed above.

About Me

Hey there!
I’m Colleen Wisor…mama, educator, yoga + mindfulness instructor, and Founder of Wise Star Wellness. My life’s work is dedicated to empowering children and families with the tools necessary to live the happiest and healthiest life possible.
I’ve spent my entire professional career working with children and families: as a program coordinator for a children’s non-profit, an early childhood classroom teacher, and, for the better part of the last decade, as a yoga and mindfulness instructor. I hold yoga certifications from Three Sisters Yoga and Karma Kids yoga in New York City and earned my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Columbia University.

I believe the foundation of a healthy life is emotional wellness, skills that are often missing in our increasingly fast-paced, technology-rich and oft high-pressure society. Over the course of my career, I’ve supported hundreds of children, teaching them tools for self-regulation, stress relief, and self esteem.

Out of my 10 years of teaching was born a desire to create a safe, inviting space to cultivate deeper connections with families in order to foster social-emotional health and wellness and enhance communication skills in children and their parents. To take time out of their day to do less, not more—and reap all of the incredible benefits. I'm excited to provide families with the opportunity to join me online and in-home for classes to allow them to unplug and reconnect with each other in order to live their happiest, healthiest lives possible.

Breath based hatha yoga private online classes in English or Japanese
The father of modern yoga Patanjali mentioned consistency in his biography: Practice should be continuous for a long time with devotion for its firm establishment. You have to practice for a long period of time. Your practice must not be interrupted. You must do it regularly. You must do your practice with love and respect. -Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: 1.14 - Consistency is key to achieving your goals, and cultivating peace within yourself is the first step towards a fulfilling life. Let me guide you on your journey towards inner harmony. -About my class- My yoga class is breath-based hatha yoga. In the class, we use a specific breath technique to heat the body up. It is authentic, yet fun, hatha yoga. We start the basic hatha yoga practice at the beginning and then we will add some breath techniques once your body gets used to it. The goal of yoga is to bring harmony between your body, mind and soul. It helps you to maintain your healthy mind and body. The time of yoga and meditation gives you a chance to observe yourself and to get to know yourself deeply. It is not a competition and is a time just for yourself. My class is private and I can guide you to maintain your body and mind depending on your body condition with a personalised plan such as weekly yoga to establish a healthy routine and tips for your yoga poses. -The contents of my class- Introduction Silent sitting and establish the breath Warm up Sun salutation Practise basic postures Final relaxation (Shavasana)

Learn a different approach to Yoga with Yoga Narada®
Yoga is a coming together of body, mind and spirit. Yoga Narada®provides a way to achieve flexibility in the body, while maintaining coordinated control, passing smoothly from one shape to another. ​ This class offers each student, be they dancer or not, the chance to relax a little from the everyday pressures and tensions of their regular work-life. It is about learning to meet challenges without undue stress, and finding the channels whereby an ease, rather than force, can enter into the learning process. The approach is gentle yet powerful allowing both expressivity and artistry. ​ Unlike a traditional Hatha Yoga class, positions are not held but repeated in a fluid undulation that gently unravels the knots both mental and physical, giving the body a sense of comfort in its movement. Each day is taken for its own individual merits, so no two classes are identical. There is a common thread, but, as in nature, there are many ways to achieve the same end. ​ By allowing the mind to stop fighting the body, rhythm and breath take over. At the same time, the class addresses elements of technique that apply directly to ballet placement, line and control, which are still suitable for everyone. ​

Dr Ly Anh
Yoga with Dr Lyanh; meditation and vinyasa yoga with yoga philosophy
Dr Lyanh: I have trained and practiced yoga for over 10 years and worked with several renowned teachers around the world. I teach private, corporate and group classes and am qualified to teach Hatha flow yoga (200RYT), Ashtanga and Hatha (300RYT) and Rocket yoga (50RYT) and Jivamukti yoga (300RYT). I have also completed several workshops in yoga alignment, adjustments, mindfulness and breath work. I generally teach Hatha flow but would be very happy to change my teachings to suit you. I am also a qualified doctor so am confident with how the body works and moves, the anatomy, how to help avoid injury and recovery of the body. I will be also able to spot conditions which may need more medical assistance if needed. There are several benefits of private yoga classes, and these can be in conjunction with group classes or as frequent as you need according to your personal schedule. Private yoga lessons are the ideal opportunity to explore certain yoga postures with correct alignment (without the intimidation or worry in a large group class). There will be time to ask questions or discuss areas of personal interest including anatomy, yogic philosophy, concerns or goals. Example of goals may be core strength, balance, flexibility or mental health relaxation or specific injuries such as low back pain or recovery from a torn ligament. Each class is tailored to fit your individual needs with options to discuss areas of improvement.
