Our kids yoga classes combine exercise, meditation, and mindfulness. Yoga can promote flexibility, strength, and balance, while also boosting concentration and focus. Join us for kids' yoga at the Gunyama Park Crèche on Mondays at 4:30pm and Sundays at 9am.

We’re also excited to introduce Kids Zumba, where your child can unleash their energy, learn new dance moves, and most importantly have fun! They can join in on Wednesdays at 4:30pm, also held in the crèche.
