ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome to Yogi Junior!
I'm Nina, your guide on a unique journey combining the joy of yoga and the wonder of childhood.
With a rich background in early childhood education as a pre-school English teacher and nearly a decade of dedicated yoga practice, my passion is guiding children towards a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.
I became a certified yoga instructor in 2021 and have since dreamt of creating a unique space—Yogi Junior—where young ones can explore yoga while learning English.
We believe in nurturing the mind, body, and spirit of every child that walks through our doors in the beautiful city of Lisbon.
In Yogi Junior classes, we make yoga fun and engaging by building each session around exciting themes like animals, transportation, ocean and more.
This thematic approach not only keeps the kids entertained and involved but also enhances their learning experience, allowing them to associate poses with the themes and making the practice more memorable.
It's an interactive and enjoyable way for children to learn yoga and English simultaneously!
Yoga Classes are currently held during Saturdays for age between 1 to 6 years old
Frequently asked questions
How many students are in each class?
The size of our classes depends on whether they are parent-participation or not.
For our Parent-Toddler and Parent-Pre-Schoolers classes, we limit the class size to 4 pairs (a parent and their child), for a total of 8 participants.
This ensures a conducive and calm learning environment, and allows each parent-child pair the space and attention they need.
For classes where children are attending on their own, we maintain a maximum of 5 children per class.
This small group size allows us to give each child individual attention, ensuring they are able to learn and practice yoga at their own pace, while fostering a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
How long are the yoga classes?
Our classes are designed with your child's focus and energy in mind.
For classes where parents and kids are doing yoga together, each session lasts 50 minutes. This gives both of you enough time to enjoy the session, learn the poses, and also relax without feeling overwhelmed.
When the kids are attending classes on their own, we limit the duration to 45 minutes, a time frame that works well for their concentration and ensures they stay engaged and happy throughout.
What ages do you cater for at Yogi Junior?
We offer classes for two age groups: toddlers aged 1-3 years and preschoolers aged 4-6 years.
Can parents participate in the classes?
Absolutely! We offer both parent-child classes and independent classes. You're welcome to participate in the parent-child classes alongside your child.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that unexpected things happen, especially with little ones! If you need to cancel a class, please let us know at least 12 hours in advance. This will allow us to offer the spot to another child. If your child is sick or unable to attend, we will work with you to reschedule the class or offer a refund if the cancellation is made within the stated timeframe. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
What language are the classes conducted in?
All our classes are conducted in English, offering an excellent opportunity for your child to improve their language skills in a fun and relaxed environment.
Do I need to book classes in advance?
Yes, we use an online booking system. You can choose to book a single class or purchase a package of classes.
What happens if we're running late for a class?
We understand that sometimes delays can happen, especially with children. However, to ensure the best experience for all participants and to maintain the flow and focus of the class, we ask that you strive to arrive on time. If you are running late, we request that you enter quietly so as not to disrupt the class. Please note that if you are more than 15 minutes late, we may not be able to admit you to the class for that day, to ensure minimal disruption for the other children. We appreciate your understanding.
What methods of payment do you accept?
At Yogi Junior, we strive to keep our focus on providing an engaging and enjoyable yoga experience for your children. To streamline our processes and ensure that we can concentrate on delivering the best yoga sessions, we only accept online payments. You can securely pay for classes or packages through our online booking system. This way, all the administrative details are handled before you arrive, so we can dedicate the time before and after class to you and your child. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
What should my child wear/bring to the class?
Your child should come to class dressed in comfortable clothes that allow for easy movement. Please also bring a water bottle to ensure they stay hydrated throughout the class. Don't worry about a yoga mat - we provide those for all our students! All your child needs to bring is their energy and enthusiasm for learning and practicing yoga.
Where are you located?
We are located in the heart of Lisbon, with sufficient parking and in a high-traffic area.
Are there classes during school breaks and holidays?
Yes! We offer special outdoor events during school breaks which can be a fun and active way to keep your kids engaged.
What safety measures do you take during the classes?
The safety and well-being of the children is our top priority. Our yoga instructors are certified and experienced in teaching yoga to children. We ensure all activities are age-appropriate and safe.
What if my child has never done yoga before?
No worries at all! Our classes are designed to be fun and engaging for kids, regardless of their prior yoga experience.
