Seaside Yoga to offer free kids class at farmers market
By Katherine Lacaze
Seaside Signal
Youth yoga classes are
making a re-appearance at
the Seaside Farmers Market
this summer and children of
all ages are welcome to come
stretch, relax and meditate
under the instruction of Kris-
tin Tschannen, of the Seaside
Yoga Studio & Retreat Center.
The children’s class will
be from 4 to 4:30 every
Wednesday of the Seaside
Farmers Market, which
starts June 17 and takes place
weekly from 3 to 6 p.m. at
WKH¿HOGDGMDFHQWWRWKH6HD-
side American Legion, 1315
Broadway St.
“I think it’s important to
support other efforts and or-
ganizations that are bringing
new and varied opportuni-
ties for health and wellness
activities and events to Sea-
side,” said Tschannen, who
recently became a member
of Clastop County’s Way to
Wellville Strategic Advisory
Council.
“I want to support it any
way I can,” she said, adding
yoga is her “way of contrib-
uting to the Farmers Market,
which I’d love to see thrive
here.”
Tschannen offered the
classes last year and found
them to be received well.
Being outside created a great
environment for practicing
yoga, she said.
The children are encour-
aged to bring a mat or tow-
el to practice on. Each class
period, Tschannen picks
a different theme, such as
peace or gratitude, and starts
by asking the students what
that concept means to them
and in what ways they are
grateful or what brings them
peace. Her hope is for the
students to make a personal
connection to these princi-
ples.
She then goes through a
sequence that’s been modi-
¿HGIRUFKLOGUHQWREHPRUH
active, engaging and fun,
and ends each class with a
cool-down period using the
corpse pose.
Since children are con-
stantly stimulated, she said,

adults from yoga,” she said.
She also instructed a yoga
class at Seaside Heights El-
ementary School’s Celebra-
tion of the Arts event last
year and will be back this
year.
The classes at the Seaside
Farmers Market are free
for children of all ages, as
Tschannen donates her time
for them. Her primary goal
is to break down barriers –
such as cost, location and
lack of time — and make
the practice accessible to
all people. That is why she
also has started an all-levels
donation-based communi-

Thompson. Donations of $5
to $10 are encouraged, as
they go toward paying the
instructor, but people should
not be deterred from attend-
ing if they can afford only
$2 or $3 one week, Tschan-
nen said.
“A donation-based class
is something I have been
wanting to get off the ground
since we opened a year ago,”
she said. “This is our way
of making yoga available to
anyone in the community
who wants to learn the prac-
tice.”
The class takes place
from 8 to 9 a.m. Thursdays.
Right now, the class has
not gained a lot of traction,
which is necessary to con-
tinue offering it, Tschannen
said. She hopes to spread the
word about the class, which
has been a venue for people
to connect over mutual goals
of health, wellness and vital-
ity who might not otherwise
have connected, she said.
The schedule is set for the
spring and summer months,
or through September, but

would like the class offered
a different day or time, that
would be considered for the
fall and winter months.
“We’ve got to be intro-

greater community and mak-
ing it accessible to them,”
Tschannen said.
