About Artful Yoga Play
Creative Fun Packed Sessions for Kids
At Artful Yoga Play, our mission is to create a fun playful environment where kids can explore their imagination through movement and art.
- Each weekly 1-hour class is a yoga visualization story, where kids learn about and play-act visiting different places around the world, such as swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii, or catching fish with polar bears at the North Pole.
- Movements are playful, yoga inspired and designed specifically for kids
- And as part of the fun, we then expand the kids creativity even further . . .
Through A fusion of movement and art
During the second half of each class, the kids put their play-acting visualization into art as they draw and color fun animals and scenes of the imaginative places they just visited
- Art activities teach basic drawing and coloring techniques, but most importantly, they learn visualization (how to draw what's in your mind)
- Final class is a performance for parents to enjoy the kids play-acting their Journey Around the World as their artwork is projected as a colorful moving backdrop.
- Pictures and video are encouraged at the final performance, and each child receives their Journey Around the World artwork to take home

Rowan Tuller enjoys teaching kids how to express themselves uniquely through creative art forms. Artful Yoga Play allows kids to physically and 3-dimensionally express themselves as they play-act visiting different worldly places. Rowan’s talent is then encouraging kids to express their imagination, their thoughts and their feelings through art. Rowan, who is currently studying early childhood development, says about teaching creativity, “Art is incredibly and infinitely unique because there's no right or wrong way, it's solely based on feelings the artist holds. And when viewed from this perspective, art becomes the window into a child’s imagination.”
