Kids Musical Yoga blossomed in the magical town of Sebastopol, California. The supportive
communities of Sebastopol and West Sonoma county were the perfect
hotbed of creativity and inspiration for learning how to share the fundamentals of yoga with energetic toddlers and young children.
Fairy Princess Andreanna is Andrea Allen, a mother
and certified yoga instructor specializing in family and pre-natal
yoga classes. As CFO, chief fairy officer, she is responsible
for developing the original content and choreographing the lyrics,
music and postures of Kids Musical Yoga. With a degree in Public
Relations and Marketing, Andrea is our key lead in making sure
our small but magical world reaches yours!
Talon the Musical Helper is Trevor Allen. A father,
musician, singer, and writer, Trevor is primarily responsible
in making sure the Fairy Princess Andreanna and their daughter,
Jaden, are happy. After studying music and child development in
both the United States and Australia, Trevor synergizes musical
theory, developmental research, and the simple spirituality of
Yoga into songs that you keep on singing!
As parents ourselves, we understand the great challenges
of raising a child in today's diverse world. We were inspired
to create Kids Musical Yoga to give parents such as ourselves
another mode of important teaching and playing that will help
prepare our little ones for their incredible and magical journies
in life.
Children are natural, spontaneous yogis. From their
first breath, they inhale with all of their belly and diaphragms.
Their bodies are limber, but with growth, children go through
a tremendous physical, psychological and social transformation.
As their bodies rapidly change in sometimes asymmetric ways, and
as they are introduced to environments of prolonged sitting and
slouching, they lose their natural, intuitive connection to their
bodies. Children also find themselves less limber.
Early learning is so important as it sets a pattern
thru which children will later interact with their world. In songs
like "Take a Deep Breathe In", or even our warm up routine,
we introduce the fundamental concepts of breathing and stretching
in a way that is both fun and teaches the importance of being
fully present in their bodies.
