Program Details

For kids, ages 5–11.

Children of all ages love the wonderful feeling that comes from the flowing movements of tai chi. Kids who are stressed find inner peace; hyperactive kids discover tools for self-control. Stomachaches and headaches melt away as kids learn to relax and breathe. Tai chi can even help to increase self-esteem.

In this fun-filled weekend workshop, children learn

  • Simple tai chi movements, visualization, and breathing
  • How the calm of their practice can be carried over to other activities including art, hiking, writing, conversation, making friends, relaxation, decision making, and meals
  • New ways to think about goals, relationships, and the world around them.

In between tai chi activities, there is time for swimming, free play, exploration, reading, and conversation.

Note Children in this program must be accompanied at Kripalu Center by a parent/adult who is registered for a program or R&R.
