While we do lock the studio door once cla ss begins\, we\n cannot be responsible for missing valuables.\n \n Please leave all toys and lovies in bags\, completely out of sight. C onsider\n leaving water bottles in your bags during toddler classes. W ater bottles are\n shockingly distracting\, both for their owner and o ther children. Adults and\n older children/teens should feel free to h ave their bottles with them.\n \n Diapers may be changed wherever is comfortable for you and your child. \n However\, there is no daily trash pickup at the studio. Please pack dirty diapers\n away with you. \n\n \n\nIf you are running late . . .\n\nDon't worry.

For kids' classes\,\nit is totally ok to ring the b ell or knock to get the instructor's attention if\nthe door is locked. Be aware that you may need to wait a few minutes if the\ninstructor is enga ged in an activity.\n\nIf you are entering late\, please do so as discree tly as possible. The instructor\nwill assist you with setting up if neces sary. Please make eye contact in case\nyour instructor has laid a place f or you.\n\nPlease note that the warmup in adult class serves an important safety function.\nIf you join late\, take a couple of minutes to do some gentle movements before\njumping into the instructor's sequence.\n\n \n\ nLoaner Yoga Mats\n\nWe have a number of studio mats that we can loan out . If you are using one for\nan adult class\, we request that you wipe it down afterward. Look for the bin of\npurple cloths and the spray bottles between the cubby shelves.\n\n \n\nStroller Parking\n\nFamilies are welco me to lock strollers up out front. We provide a cable and lock\n(check yo ur registration receipt or ask your instructor for the code)\n\nFamilies may also bring strollers downstairs if they can be safely carried down.\n Please fold strollers whenever possible to reduce tripping hazards in the lobby.\nStrollers cannot be left in the entryway\, even folded\, because they are a fire\nhazard.\nDIRECTIONS AND PARKING\n\nBreathing Space is o n the south side of Pennsylvania Avenue. Look for the glass\ndoor with ou r lotus flower logo. \n\nFrom the Eastern Market Metro: From the top of t he escalator or elevator\, turn\naround to face 7th Street SE. Cross 7th Street and walk along Pennsylvania\nAvenue on the same side of the street toward the Capitol. \n\nParking: Metered parking is available on Pennsy lvania Avenue and 2 hr parking is\navailable on many of the nearby reside ntial streets. There are garages\nunderneath 660 Penn (Penn Medical) and 700 Penn (Trader Joe's).\nSee location details and studio policies on our website: https://families.breathingspacedc.com/dmn4239/location.aspx?loc =15629\n----\nYoga class encourages children and teens to move creatively in a non-competitive\nenvironment while honoring each student's unique e xpression of the poses.\n\nBreathing Space classes incorporate age-approp riate poses\, breathing\, movement\nand mindfulness games\, concentration and focus techniques\, and relaxation.\nClasses often revolve around a p hilosophical or natural theme and sometimes\ninclude discussion\, art\, o r journaling.\nOn select Friday evenings\, families with kids ages 8 and up come to the studio\nto make art side by side. Arts and crafts is one o f the most-loved parts of yoga\ncamp\, and these workshops bring the same focus to preteens\, teens\, and the\ngrown-ups in their lives.\n\nA good mindful art project asks for careful hands and open choices at the same\ ntime. You follow a technique closely\, then decide for yourself what to make with\nit. This combination holds your attention and helps a busy ner vous system\nsettle.\n\nEach workshop introduces a new method or medium. You don't need any art\nexperience. The point is time spent making someth ing together\, and a perfect\nfinished piece is optional.\n\nFriday eveni ng is a good time to wind down after the school and work week and to\nspe nd unhurried time with a preteen or teen whose free time keeps getting\ns carcer.\n----\nJen teaches many Breathing Space classes – Baby Yoga & Pla y classes\, Tot\,\nToddler and Little Families Yoga\n \, afterschool yoga\n \, all-levels yoga (adults)\,\nand prenatal\n \, and directs day-off and summer camps\n . . . in addition\nto doing a bunch of behind-the-scenes stuff to kee p it all running.\n\nLike so many\, Jen first came to the yoga mat becaus e of an injury\, seeking\nnothing more than to feel better and balance he r body for running.
