A balanced body, a balanced mind

Yoga twice a week for every student. Karate as an elective with formal belt progression. Both taught by certified instructors with years of experience working with children.

Yoga karate

Yoga

All Classes · Twice a week

Asanas, breathing practices, simple meditation. Calms a child's nervous system, improves posture and concentration, and gives them a tool they will keep for life.

  • Age-appropriate sequencing
  • Pranayama (breathing) basics
  • Concentration & quiet-sitting
  • Annual yoga day demonstration

Karate

Class II – X · Elective

Shotokan karate with formal grading. Builds discipline, courage, self-defence skill, and the deep self-confidence that only comes from physical mastery.

  • White through black belt path
  • Annual grading examinations
  • Inter-school tournaments
  • Self-defence focus for girls
Why both

Strength and stillness

The two practices balance each other beautifully. Yoga teaches stillness, breath and inwardness. Karate teaches movement, focus and outward power. Together, they shape a child who is neither anxious nor aggressive, just present.

Our karate students have brought home medals from district and state-level tournaments. Our yoga students have led demonstrations on International Yoga Day for visiting dignitaries. Both speak of the same school.
