Adventure brief
Kids' Yoga and Sound
A downtown Leonardtown studio running a three-session Saturday series that blends playful, age-appropriate yoga with live sound work for kids ages 6–12. One-hour sessions, comfy lounges and hammocks make this a low-effort, high-impact reset for kids.
At the heart of Leonardtown, Maryland, Kids' Yoga and Sound transforms a compact downtown studio into a deliberately calm space for children. Located at 22660 Washington St, in the cream-colored Court Square building directly across the street from Marie and Nash and on the second floor above The Arts Council, this three-session Saturday series pairs playful, age-appropriate yoga with immersive sound bowls and gentle percussion led by instructor Traci. Sessions run as one-hour classes within a 1–3 pm window on scheduled Saturdays; online tickets are $26 and cash or Venmo at the door is $22.
Water is available via fountain; families are invited to bring refillable bottles and comfy clothes. Inside, the room favors texture and low lighting: comfy lounges, a few hammocks, blankets and pillows create staged nooks where kids can move, stretch, or settle for a short sound rest. Small extras—journals and simple props—invite reflection without pressure.
The sound element shifts each week so no two sessions are identical; singing bowls, hand drums and tuned chimes give tone to guided breathing, playful balance games, and gentle guided relaxation. The format is informal and accessible: the group is capped at 14, and the environment is designed for kids who are new to yoga or who benefit from tactile, sensory supports. Practical details matter here.
The studio's entry options include a lower front entrance with an interior stair and a rear entry at the wooden steps; doors open 15 minutes before class and relock at start time. Google Maps finds the address reliably, Apple Maps may not; if you need help, contact Ruth at 301-659-3198. The organizer asks families to arrive slightly early to settle in and to respect the quiet once the soundscape begins.
Why this class stands out for Leonardtown visitors and locals: it’s a community-centered offering that fits the town’s slow, family-friendly rhythm. The combination of child-centric yoga with live sound work introduces kids to breath control, body awareness, and calming practices that translate to home routines. It also makes practical use of a walkable main street location where caregivers can shop, grab coffee, or explore nearby public art during the hour.
If you’re traveling with kids who need movement, relaxation, or a structured but playful reset, this series is a compact, accessible way to introduce mindfulness and sound healing. Contact Traci at 240-298-0481 for questions about the class or payment options, and remember the studio’s exact location: 22660 Washington St, Leonardtown, MD—second floor, Court Square building above The Arts Council. Bring a journal if your child enjoys drawing or writing; masks are optional, and quiet footwear or socks help small feet stay warm.
This local program rewards repeat visits as the soundscapes change gently over weeks.
