Description
Midnight Bat Maker & Mind Pop-Up (WCPR)
Celebrate the cozy late-fall season with an exciting 90-minute Mind & Maker Pop-Up! Designed by a TN Certified Teacher, this premium workshop is a fantastic blend of an interactive aerospace engineering craft and a centering, flight-themed yoga adventure for kids.
This workshop follows our signature "Project First, Yoga Second" flow:
● The Maker Lab (STEAM + Art): We begin in the shoes of mechanical engineers as students design and build an incredible Flapping Bat creature! Exploring the properties of aerodynamics and mechanical movement, kids will construct a real working toy that flutters its wings with every tug of a string. Students will use cozy November textures like felt and autumn pastels to style a unique woodland character ready for its winter migration.
● The Mind Flow (Yoga + Mindfulness): Once the engineering is complete, we move to the yoga mats to take flight! This mindful movement practice is custom-tailored to explore balance, symmetry, and sensory awareness. Students will use soaring balances, a high-energy "Echolocation Shadows" yoga game, and specialized breathwork to learn how bats navigate the night sky while regulating and resetting their own nervous systems.
Every student will leave with a brand-new, mechanical flapping bat project to take home and tools for mindfulness they can use anytime!
