YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: EXCLUSIVE at FLYING LION Kids Aerial Yoga Rainbow Class or Children on the Spectrum or with Disabilities

We cater to your child's needs. If you have a child who would benefit from a more individualized class setting-we offer The Rainbow Class. This class holds 4 children per class.

Taking place, once a month, an instructor who has experience in working with children with disabilities will lead this 45min class starting with a warm up of the body and vocals. Following some coordination and movements exercises, along with sensory development and experimenting with the fabric of the hammock. To not overload the body with too much stimuli, this class is taught with lights dimmed and music consists of nature sounds, rather than songs. Class ends with lights turned off and a gentle sleepy cool down.

Parents are allowed to participate in class with their child, if you choose to not leave their side. Parents who do so, will not be charged a class fee.

If your financial funds are limited, but you want your hani-capable child to experience an aerial class, we offer the first class at a highly discounted price. Call Flying Lion for more details.
