Our Nature Explorers program is growing up- less songs, more homeschool educational opportunities to connect with mind, body, nature and community. 

Welcome to Root to Rise Academy!  Geared to ages 5-12, each monthly session will incorporate integrative functional movement [and breathing] in the form of cooperative games (they won’t even know they’re doing yoga!), educational content centered around a natural element theme, a hike to help wear them out and work up an appetite for lunch (that you packed, thank you), an in-class project (read: not just a craft) and a take home worksheet/plan to help you continue the lesson later.   

This class will keep your kids moving.  They will learn to engage their inner cores, work on balance, cooperation, confidence,  even a little public speaking (well- speaking up within the group).  We’ll throw in some (secret) polyvagal reset tools and breathing exercises while also nerding out over science-y stuff.  And we’ll do it all in the great outdoors! 

Each class is set up as a series of stations along a loop hiking trail.  At each stop we will either use our brains or our bodies to explore our topic.  Functional movement “challenges” are intentionally selected to get kids to engage their muscles, activate their core and develop effective body mechanics.  All paired with STEM learning centered around a nature based theme.
