Where Kids Build Confidence, Calm & Connection

Welcome to Rise & Shine Kids Yoga — a space where children and teens can move, breathe, and truly belong.

Our youth yoga programs focus on emotional regulation, body awareness, and building confidence in a supportive community that celebrates every child exactly as they are.

Through movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection, we help kids develop tools to navigate big emotions, strengthen their bodies, and feel grounded in themselves.

Because when kids feel supported, they SHINE.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

about Rise and Shine Kids Yoga

Winnipeg, MB

Felecia clearly has a special talent helping guide kids through some pretty amazing self discoveries and positivity that they can carry throughout the rest of their life. The kids and I can’t wait to attend the next event soon!

Erin, Lorette, MB

I had the honour of bringing my minis to one of Rise and Shine Kids Yoga’s Yoga Party events and fell in love with what this company’s all about! As I myself am a Lifestyle Coach that is passionate about empowering women to practice self love & care through living as their happiest & healthiest self, I was so excited to see a movement that is all about instilling self love, confidence and community connection in our youth’s minds & lives.

Sandi, Winnipeg, MB

The class was absolutely awesome! The instructor Felecia was very knowledgeable and was able to keep the kids focused while also allowing them to have fun. I had a 4 year old girl and a 7 year old boy in the class and they both loved it. They keep asking when they get to go again.

“Our children face many challenges and stresses in their everyday lives. Mindfulness and yoga build an awareness of our feelings which supports children in self-regulation and resiliency. Felecia has developed a program in which she builds children’s understanding of themselves and their feelings. She connects with her students on a personal level while providing them with strategies and skills to emotionally connect with themselves.”

-Amber, teacher and mother

🌟 How It Ties Into Mindfulness

Both activities naturally anchor kids in the present moment.
• Chopsticks connect them to body awareness and control.
• Tie-dye connects them to creativity, patience, and acceptance of outcomes.

Together, they help kids develop calm focus, build resilience, and celebrate their own unique creations—all cornerstones of mindfulness practice.

Mindfulness isn’t just sitting still… it’s found in play, color, and trying something new. 💛🌈

We wrapped up our summer with our Rise and Shine Kids Yoga Camp!

It’s always a highlight of our year. Our yoga camp filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories! 🧘‍♀️

From morning sun salutations to mindful crafts, every moment was magic.

We stretched, breathed, and found our inner creative outlet, all while enjoying outdoor adventures, picnics, workshops, and bonding time.

Im so very proud of this group 😍🙏🏽🥹.

Can’t wait for the next one! 🌟

✨ Reflecting on a season of growth and connection! 💫 From finding balance to embracing inner strength, our teen yoga sessions have been a transformative journey.

These young ladies are amazing and I’m honoured to have spent 75 mins with them each week as we dived into Pilates, yoga and so much more!

Each pose, each breath, has taught us resilience, mindfulness, and the power of self-love. Through yoga, we’ve discovered:

1. **Resilience:** Learning to bounce back from challenges both on and off the mat.

2. **Mindfulness:** Cultivating a present moment awareness that enhances every aspect of life.

3. **Self-Love:** Nurturing a positive relationship with ourselves and embracing our unique strengths.

4. **Inner Strength:** Tapping into our inner reservoirs of courage and confidence.

5. **Stress Relief:** Finding calm amidst the chaos of teenage life.

6. **Emotional Balance:** Managing emotions with grace and understanding.

7. **Healthy Habits:** Instilling lifelong practices that support physical and mental well-being.

8. **Finding our Voice:** We shared each time we met with a question and theme. We had open discussions about our week. Highs and lows. Stresses and celebrations. We created a safe environment to be heard and to listen. I’m forever grateful for their trust and openness 🙏🏽🤍

As we wind down our session we planned a field trip to @alteaactive.winnipeg where we celebrate movement, wellness, community, friendship, self care, and FUN!

I’m hoping the girls take with them not just what we’ve learned on the mat, but the lifelong friendships and inner wisdom gained.

Why do we offer choice and autonomy in yoga class?

🧘1. **Enhanced Body Awareness**: By allowing children to choose between different yoga poses or variations, they develop a deeper understanding of their bodies and how they move, promoting better proprioception and coordination.

💭2. **Improved Decision-Making Skills**: Making choices during yoga practice encourages children to weigh options and make decisions based on their current energy levels and preferences, fostering essential decision-making skills early on.

💪🏽3. **Boosted Self-Esteem and Confidence**: Having the freedom to make choices empowers children and boosts their self-esteem. When they successfully navigate their yoga practice by selecting poses or modifications that suit them, it reinforces their confidence in their abilities.

📈4. **Increased Engagement and Participation**: Offering choices makes yoga sessions more engaging and enjoyable for children. They are more likely to actively participate and stay focused when they have a say in their practice, leading to better retention of skills and concepts.

🧠5. **Stress Reduction and Emotional Regulation**: Learning to listen to their bodies and make mindful choices in yoga can help children develop skills for managing stress and regulating their emotions. This self-awareness and self-regulation can have positive effects on their overall well-being both on and off the yoga mat.

Ok, it may not work exactly like MAGIC, but yoga & mindfulness practices can help our kids find their calm when big emotions start to build. 🌈

It teaches children to regulate their emotions through deep breathing and relaxation techniques. 🧘

It promotes self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mindfulness. 💜

It teaches breathing techniques and poses that can calm the nervous system, fostering a sense of balance and emotional well-being. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Movement helps with stress by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers, reduces cortisol levels 🌳

It enhances blood flow, which nourishes the brain and helps clear the mind 🧠

I’ve seen the magic of yoga help encourage our children to become more aware of their feelings and give them tools they can use to respond to frustration or anger in new ways. 🙏🏽

Here at Rise and Shine Yoga we offer classes from age 2-18 yrs.

Our yoga may look different from our toddler classes in preschool compared to our high school workshops and every age in between, yet our mantra remains the same.

RISE - ‘Rise’ signifies the uplifting journey toward self-discovery, resilience, and well-being. It’s about embracing growth, positivity, and the joy of movement for a brighter, balanced life. 🌄🧘‍♂️ #KidsWellness

AND - signifies the pause. The beauty in being still and the awareness that takes place when we do. Insert deep breaths and better choices when we take time to pause.

SHINE - ‘To Shine’ means fostering inner light, confidence, and kindness. It’s the glow of each child’s unique potential, nurtured through mindfulness and movement. 🌟🧘‍♀️ #InnerShine #shinebright

We end classes of all ages the same way…

Think Kind Thoughts
✨
Speak Kind Words
✨
Show LOVE wherever We Go

Namaste 💕✨🙏🏽

Yoga is not just poses for kids... it’s a journey of self-discovery, a path to inner peace, and a foundation for lifelong well-being. It’s about learning to breathe, finding balance, and embracing mindfulness.

Through yoga, kids cultivate strength, resilience, and a deep connection with themselves and the world around them. It’s a gift that goes beyond the mat, shaping them into confident, compassionate individuals. 🌿💫

Fun Facts about practicing Lions Breaths 🦁 with your children ⬇️

This breathing technique is a great stress reliever! Promotes emotional regulation and releases tension, particularly in the face, neck and chest.

It’s known to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and help release big emotions and energy.

It has a calming effect through the facial movements that are activated when we take a Lions Breath — like opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue — we activate facial muscles, which can release tension in the jaw, neck and themuscles between the brows.

It helps to stimulate the thyroid gland and helps the child settle into more relaxed and peaceful feelings

Lions breath

1. Begin on your knees, then sit back on your heels.
2.Spread your fingers wide, and press your hands onto your knees. 3.Take a deep breath through your nose. Open your mouth, stretch out your tongue, open your eyes wide, and let your breath out through your mouth with a loud “ROAR!”

Repeat 3-5x

When should we use Lion Breath?

We can practice it in the morning to Wake up your body with Lion’s Breath

Practice at the end of each day to let go of unwanted thoughts or feelings.

Use when strong feelings come up that want to be released.

Use any time you would like to stimulate the body energetically, activating a more focused and alert state

When you need to transition. It can have a positive effect on disruptive behaviours

For connection. Add it to your day with your child that will make them smile and laugh watching each other take a giant lions breath

Why do we weave mindful art work in our yoga classes?
Some of our favourite reasons to why engaging in mindful crafting with children is valuable:

🙏🏽1- Stress Reduction: Crafting activities can be calming and help reduce stress and anxiety in children. Focusing on the present moment and the creative process

👩‍🎨2- Enhanced Creativity: encourages children to use their imagination. We explore different materials, colors, and shapes, fostering a sense of innovation and originality.

🧘🏽‍♀️3- Improved Focus and Concentration: When children are engaged in crafting, they often experience a state of flow, where they become fully absorbed in the activity. This heightened focus can improve their concentration skills

🌦️4- Emotional Expression and Processing: Crafting can be an excellent outlet for children to express their emotions and feelings.

👏🏽5- Sense of Accomplishment: Completing a craft project can give children a sense of achievement and boost their self-esteem. It reinforces the idea that they can create something beautiful and meaningful through their efforts.

🙌🏽6- Patience and Perseverance: Some craft projects might require patience and perseverance to complete. Children can learn to overcome challenges, follow instructions, and develop problem-solving skills in the process.

🤝7- Bonding and Social Skills: Crafting can be a fun group activity, allowing children to work together, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. This fosters social skills, communication, and teamwork.

🥰Mindful crafting with children is a holistic and enriching experience that supports their emotional, social, cognitive, and creative development and most important it is so much FUN!!!

In our Kids Yoga Classes I get to witness moments of “I can do it!” Over and over and it’s one of the reasons I love what I do!

Yoga naturally nurtures a Growth Mindset 🌟

Watch my little champion bloom and grow as they embrace the power of perseverance! 🌱🌈 From their first steps to their latest triumphs, witnessing their determination is a true inspiration.

🔍 Embracing Challenges: With every obstacle they face, they shine brighter and stronger, learning that setbacks are just stepping stones to success.

📚 Cultivating Curiosity: Curiosity fuels their quest for knowledge and unlocks endless possibilities. There’s no limit to what they can achieve! Curiosity in awareness of their body and what feels right for them in a pose. Take the steps to achieve

🏆 Celebrating Effort: We’re all about celebrating the process, not just the outcome. Every effort, every attempt, and every brave step forward deserves recognition.

💪 Fostering Resilience: They’re developing resilience, bouncing back from disappointments, and staying committed to trying their best. We also take the time to share in our challenges and know it’s so very normal for everyone to struggle at times.

🎯 Pursuing Dreams: Setting goals and going after them with unwavering determination is what they do best! The sky’s the limit for my little dream-chasers.

🌟✨ Shine On, Little Yogis: I’m so proud of their growth mindset, reminding us all that with dedication and a positive attitude, anything is achievable.

As, we reflect on our classes over this past year, we know now more than ever that how we connect to ourselves, others, the world around us and the quality of our mental health are intricately intertwined. With children experiencing anxiety and stress at an all time high, young people need tools for stress-resilience, emotion regulation, focus and a strong sense of belonging.

In 2023 all of our programs will focus on connection. Along with encouraging the love of movement and self care through yoga, we will be creating a container to explore and express our emotions. Not only will we learn coping strategies for stress management and emotional regulation, we will be able to practice these tools together in a safe setting.

Did you know that having a gratitude practice has so many benefits?

Can’t imagine what an impact it would have made in my life if I started one when I was a child or during my teen years!

The benefits of practising gratitude
✅ It makes us happier. ...
✅ It reduces stress. ...
✅ It improves self-esteem. ...
✅ It helps us be more resilient. ...
✅ It helps us sleep. ...
✅ It improves our physical health. ...
✅ It improves our relationships. ...
✅ It improves our friendships.

In all of our kids yoga programs we talk about gratitude and weave it throughout our classes in different ways. From sharing something we are grateful for at the beginning of class when we do our opening breath work, as intentions/mantras for our class, or as above in this photo journaling with gratitude prompts as part of our relaxation.

If you would like to learn more about our yoga programs for youth sent us a DM or email :)

Grateful for all of you 🙏🏽✨

Children do not move, think or speak in a straight line, neither does creativity nor imagination. Yet, childhood is full of many standardized pathways of education that do.

In our yoga classes we try our best to meet our students where they are and how they they show up that day to class.

Yes, it may be loud.
It may be super silly.
It may look nothing like traditional grownup yoga class. But what I can promise you is that each class will be filled with the space to create. Movement that matches their energy. Words of encouragement when we fall and when we soar!
Games & guided activities that promote connection to our emotions and empathy for others.

This is our yoga 🧘🏽‍♀️

Parent and Me Yoga!
Winter Session session starts end of November
Come take a yoga adventure with your little one.

We let our imaginations run wild on how we can tell a story with movement. We may ride dinosaurs to the park or lay like a starfish on the beach listening to the ocean or turn into a family of dogs wagging our tails “hello”

But wherever our story takes us it’s always filled with movement, building poses together, breathing, and cuddles and laughs.

DIY Kids Macrame Feather 🪶

Macrame (we used left over tie-dye to colour our cream macrame cord)

Cut one 20 inch piece & sixteen 6inch pieces
Fold 20 inch cord in half and knot a loop at top
Start to tie and knot your 6 inch cord pieces in your choice of pattern from top down making sure to secure tightly to form spine of feather
Once all pieces are tied make sure all knots are pushed together/touching and can lay flat

Rise and Shine Kids Yoga July photo dump!

We’ve been quiet on IG, but oh so busy moving, connecting and playing! Felt so good to teach in person ❤️🙏🏽

Grateful to have taught over 170 kiddos this month and I’m feeling restored and energized! Nothing beats the energy when together in the same space! I’m so excited for August and to show you my fall class offerings later this week ☺️

I got to yoga with some familiar faces and had the pleasure to meet some new centres this month.

Thank you for having me out this July!

Here’s to August 🎉

Big announcement!! 🚨
so excited to be hosting the Virtual Mom Retreat on May 21 & 22, 2021 with my mom bestie @mackidwinnipeg

15+ women speakers will be coming together sharing their expertise, talking about mom struggles, tips and stories!

Over the next few days we will be rolling out our incredible speakers and activities we have planned for you...including something I’ve been cooking up for the mamas...it’s our time to PLAY!!!

The last 13 months have definitely had their challenges and now more then ever taking time for ourselves to recharge, focus on self care, mental health and personal development is so beneficial.
Two Winnipeg moms: Carmen, from Macaroni Kid Winnipeg, and Felecia, from Rise and Shine Kids Yoga, are hosting a virtual moms retreat with the goal of helping other moms refresh, relax and grow.
Whether you book a hotel room for yourself to get away and log on, or put the kids in the other room to do their activities; this event is made for you.
Within the private Facebook group we have an itinerary of events starting Friday May 21st evening and running all day Saturday May 22nd.
Topics include:
Manifestation
Movement
Fitness and Nutrition
Mental Health
Personal Development: Makeup tutorials, Style Guide tips, Finances,
Crafting
Round Table and Question/Answer Zoom Chats about Mom Guilt, Juggling it all and just because
We'll also have time to meet over drinks (learn how to make some even) and have fun.
Additionally for local Winnipeg Moms we have put together a self care swag bag that will be dropped off at your home if you choose that option, which includes things to help pamper yourself during our retreat. (We want to give everyone that wants to attend the option so if you live outside of the city or don't want the physical items we have an access to event only price too.)
But that's not all! While we are spending sometime on US, there will also be curated videos, activities and crafts tutorials for kids to do in the other room or with another adult so you don't need to worry about how they will be occupied. Supply list will be provided ahead of time so you can gather everything you need.

Yesterday, was a day of high and lows for me. With moments that left me flooded with gratitude and snippets of grief that made it hard to bring me back to my breath.

Motherhood is definitely the greatest and the hardest thing.

It’s been a year of challenge and not all feel comfort on or around Mother’s Day.

My hope for all of those who have and continually experience mothering on any and all levels, is that you take that same love and freely give it to yourself. That in all that you do you find a little time and space to nurture your needs ✌🏽

Much love from my crew to yours 💕
