This children’s series will introduce the practice of Yo-Fu™ through learning a series of Hatha Yoga postures that come from India, Hip-Hop dance movements, and Chinese Kung-fu/Chi-kung and martial arts techniques. The roots of this style come from the mythical legends of Taoist traditions that bring together animal spirits (Dragon, Phoenix, Monkey etc.), mystic sages (Monk, Warrior, Goddess, etc.) and the Five Elements found in nature (Water, Metal, Fire, Wood & Water). Ancient breathing exercises created for balancing movement with stillness (Ha-Tha or Yin/Yang) and Hip-hop dance forms (Lockin’, Up/Down Rockin’ or Liquid, etc.) will be explored.
