How We Started

Owner/Director

Yoga practice for children slightly differs than yoga for adults. To keep children engaged yoga needs to be fun!  Let's Play & Namaste keeps the classes exciting while incorporating different yoga techniques such as breathing, meditation & asanas (poses) in every class.  Let's Play & Namaste hosts a variety of classes at different age levels at our Studio in Bedford, NH.  We also travel; specializing in workshops, birthday parties, camps and classes for private groups and organizations.

Owner / Director, Katherine Laurendeau, E-RYT® 200, RCYT®, YACEP®, a wife and mother of 3 children. She started practicing yoga in 1999 when she was pregnant with her first child.

This is a wonderful mix of yoga techniques through song, dance and play. Yoga for children is different than yoga for adults. To keep the children engaged yoga needs to be fun! We are able to keep the classes exciting while incorporating different yoga techniques such as breathing, meditation & poses in every class. The benefits of yoga for children are overwhelming. It boosts children's confidence while minimizing anxiety, stress and even depression, providing them with tools to manage everyday obstacles.
