Register today for this Des Moines area kids yoga summer camp class for toddlers and preschoolers.
Our weekly Kindermusik classes and piano lessons continue throughtout the summer, but you're invited to sprinkle extra magic into the mix by adding any of the following Summer Camps and events:
PIANO CAMP
Piano Camp: Tell Me A Tale
Ages: 5 - 7 years
June 3 - 7
10:00-11:45am
Fingers will be itching to weave self-generated tales at our magical golden piano each day of this truly one-of-a-kind summer music camp. You'll be amazed at how quickly and easily your young musician begins to unfold great-sounding music at the piano as we unlock real musical strategies all week long. This camp is the perfect bridge between Kindermusik and our InnerMusician piano curriculum. By week's end, students have created their very own musical storybook to share, and you'll watch your child beam with confidence as they play in our Camp Cookie Concert. Peek in along the way each day as you're invited into class for the final 15 minutes of Sharing Time.
Member Price- $175
Non-Member Price- $185
Materials Fee- $35 (includes a CD, hardcover storybook, lummi stick instrument, and piano notebook)

We'll rotate an instrument or prop from our extensive collection every 10-15 minutes and keep the tunes going.
Open Studio is a complimentary bonus to our enrolled members.

Watch your little Yogi's eyes light up at the beginning of each class as they ring a Tibetan bell to greet the class and focus attention. Together you'll float through breath practice using scarf play to increase your awareness and enhance relaxation. Then find your rhythm with an active Yoga march – a series of “postures in motion” to warm up your bodies. Rest and read a story that introduces the theme for your posture practice and finish strong with an invitation to find your mats for a series of 10-12 yoga postures (or variations of traditional postures) before a short rest and farewell song.
No previous experience necessary. You are encouraged to bring a mat and blanket for you and your child to share.
Member Price- $74
Non-Member Price- $84
