Acrobatics, Yoga and Fun Class

I had heard good things about City Park Movement and Art and turned out we even know one of the little girls that also takes classes there so we decided to sign Chance up for a couple classes this month to see what he thinks. The first class was an Acrobatics, Yoga and Fun class which he will be taking every Thursday. The classes are drop off classes, that's right we don't stay with him, we just drop him off and then come back to get him 45 minutes later. It's a big step, different than anything we have done before but I am liking doing it in little steps, 45 minutes at a time.
Since with was the first class I stayed, just to see what goes on in a class and to make sure Chance was comfortable. Just like every other class we have ever taken Chance started out right by my side, then he moved to his yoga mat and I moved over to sit against the wall. At first he didn't want to do anything but then about half way through he started opening up and by the end he didn't want to leave.

Here he is walking backwards down the blue line. It wasn't easy but Chance was pretty good at it.


After everyone walked and jumped along the blue line Miss Nikki pulled out the mat and everyone took turns doing somersaults, donkey kicks and cartwheels. Chance did a great job following direction, it was hard for me not to jump in to help a few times but he did a wonderful job all on his own with a little instruction from the teacher.


Below Chance does the donkey kick right on the first time.



Like I said Chance didn't want to leave when the class was over so we will definitely be back for the rest of the month and maybe next month if he is still into it. These classes work great for us since they run in one month cycles he can take fun classes and we still have the flexibility to travel as we do quite often.
