One-of-a-kind yoga class coming to Oxford
OXFORD – A special program will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the community services room at the Oxford Memorial Library, when Suzette Hayes, owner of the Black Horse Yoga Studio, Guilford, will present a one-of-a-kind parent/child yoga session. Admission is free, and the program is open to children ages 4 and up and their parents.
“This is a nice way for parents to do something healthy with their children,” said Oxford Memorial Library’s Youth Services Coordinator Carolyn Thau. “It is very laid back, and it’s a great way to be silly with your child. Suzette is wonderful and very experienced.”
Hayes, who will be running Thursday’s session at the library, is a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher and has been practicing yoga since the mid-1990s.
“I found yoga because of stress in my life. I was tired of being told to take this prescription, take that prescription. The first class I attended ... I can still remember how I felt when I left – taller, calmer and more self-aware, that I was really somebody and that I was okay,” stated Hayes.
In regards to the benefits of this parent/child session at the library, Hayes added, “Both parents and kids live in such a hurry-up world with jobs, appointments, school pressures, lessons, sports and video games, we forget that this can put our children, and ourselves, under stress. Yoga helps to counter these everyday pressures both for parents and child. This playful way of yoga helps us adults to remember to play like a child and helps the children to discover their own world with their imagination.”
The event is an opportunity for parents and children to relax, have fun, and learn gentle yoga poses through animal stories.
Added Hayes, who said she’s excited about Thursday’s session, “I really hope that they take away a sense of freedom and fun ... to slow down and take time to laugh and reconnect with their children as well as themselves. It’s so important for us as adults to not lose our inner child as well as for our kids to see that we can laugh; that we too can be warriors in the woods, bears in the forest and balance like a flamingo. Most of all to begin to listen and connect to each other with lots of love, patience and understanding.”
Thursday’s event will be the first time this program has been offered at the Oxford Memorial Library and Thau said she’s thrilled that it will be taking place.
