Learn Animal Yoga Poses with Your Child at the Zoo
Connect to nature while exercising the body and imagination with your little one. Toddlers will practice fun animal yoga poses and also engage in activities like guided nature exploration, reading a storybook and more. After class, visit the lions, monkeys, turtles and other animals that inspire this unique, animal-themed yoga class.
We have a limited number of child-sized yoga mats available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. Children and parents are also welcome to bring and use their own mats. Parents may choose to use a mat for comfort while sitting on the ground by their child. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bottled water.
Classes are geared towards children ages 2–5. Registration is required for each child (no adult fee). Every child must be accompanied by an adult, and adults are required to participate with their child.

Cancellation Policy
If for any reason you need to cancel your registration, you may do so up to two weeks before the program date and a refund will be issued (less a processing fee). If you must cancel less than two weeks before the program, Lincoln Park Zoo can transfer your registration to another eligible participant (exclusions may apply).
In case of inclement weather, classes will be moved indoors. We will make every effort not to cancel classes just for weather, so plan to attend rain or shine! If the weather is questionable for outdoor yoga, participants will be contacted via text with the change of location.
