Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Greater Los Angeles, CA

My favorite form of exercise besides walking has been yoga.  It's difficult for me to get to a yoga class these days, and let's face it - the DVD's aren't standing there making sure you do the poses right, so cheating is rampant when using one of those.

Now there's a perfect marriage of childcare and yoga - Lisa Helfer's Parent and Child Yoga class for parents with children aged 3-6.  I know my 3-year-old like yoga:  any time I attempt a sun salutation, he shouts "again, Mommy!" and tries to imitate me.  Also, he loves pretending that my yoga mat is a boat.

Parent and Child Yoga is a 5-week Saturday morning series at The Baby Clubhouse on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, three blocks south of Ventura.  The space is also home to a ballet class for toddlers as well as RIE parenting classes for parents and newborns.

Yoga classes are forming now, call 818-481-2580 to sign up.  You'll want to get in on this one.  Not only is yoga good for you, it's good for your kid.
