Taught by Karen Murphy, Yoga Therapist, RYT200

Yoga Story Time is a dedicated 45-minute practice that intentionally integrates yoga, storytelling, and songs for children aged 3 to 5. Led by Karen Murphy, this class provides an empathetic, inclusive space where children can actively process their experiences through movement, sound, and narrative.

By weaving foundational yoga postures with engaging stories and interactive songs, we honor the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. This forward-thinking approach empowers children to explore their somatic awareness gently, laying the groundwork for holistic well-being and a lifelong connection to self.

Session #1 - 8/5/26-9/23/26

Session #2 - 10/7/26 - 11/25/26

The training is an intensive immersion into the practices of hatha yoga from a blend of lineages that compliment each other well. We will work with the therapeutic approach of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and his son TKV Desikachar, in a lineage that has come to be known as “viniyoga.”

We will also work with the teachings of Swami Kripalvananda, founder of the lineage of Kripalu Yoga. Kripalu means compassion, and is a trauma sensitive heart-centered approach which focuses on breathing and allowing innate wisdom to guide you as you move through your practice. Kripalu Yoga has roots in kundalini, and tantra.

Both Viniyoga and Kripalu Yoga evolve and change with the times. These traditions agree that yoga practices should be tailored to the student’s specific age, physical condition, culture, emotional state, personality, and constitution. In this way, the practice is designed to fit the person, rather than the student trying to fit into a pre-determined practice.
