Love Gym, Phillips Exeter Academy

By | Education, For kids, Travel | 2 Comments

I made a separate entry for the gym because I thought it was important that a good school has to have good sports facilities.  We toured a bit late so it was about to close already but we were able to see part of it and were impressed

Phillips Academy, Andover

By | Education, For kids, Travel | 4 Comments

The road trip started from New Jersey to Boston ( Boston, Massachusetts July 27, 2010 ) and from Boston we continued our educational tour ( Harvard University July 29, 2010 ) and took a peek at Phillips Andover in Andover.  A beautiful city and a nice environment for kids as it is very safe, a city with many greens, and a place with not too many distractions, therefore conducive to studying.  It was a saturday so there was no classes and no one was around to show us the campus.  So we just drove through

Yoga for Special Children

By | For kids, Health and Fitness | No Comments

baby-toddler-yoga.jpg

I thought this was a very unique offering from my batchmate Bunny:

 

I do 1-on-1 only for special needs kids.  I teach baby-mum yoga, toddler yoga and kids yoga (5-7yrs old), which are all groups – minumum of 4. It’s 500pesos per child. by appointment and reservations required.

Better that parents form a group so it’s ‘playgroup’ and then a time schedule can be arranged to have it either at their place or at a studio that I can rent in Makati.

For Baby – Mum yoga it’s 650pesos per session (price is for both mom and baby).

 

Currently my teaching schedule:

 

Kids yoga: Yoga Manila – Rockwell and Alabang studios (check out website: yogamanila.com) – Rockwell on Saturdays starting July 3, Alabang on fridays starting july 2.

Toddler Yoga : Gymboree – Westgate Alabang – mondays – 18-36mos at 3-4pm/ 36-4yrs old at 4-5pm

Baby and  Mum Yoga: Yoga Manila – Rockweel and Alabang studios – Rockwell on mon-thur , 10:30-11:30am starting Aug. 2. / Alabang on tue-fri 10:30-11:30am starting Aug 3.

Baby and Mum Yoga : Alabang – 111 San. Bernardino st. – (Michelle Aventajado’s studio) – wednesdays , starting Aug 4 , 10:30am-11:30am

Yoga for Special child : Alabang – Michelle Aventajado’s studio – wednesdays, starting Aug 4, by apt only, between 2-5pm
