Dragonfly Dulou Announces MaYoga!

Beginning January 20th, 2011

with Jessica Jennings
and Cindi Cnop

Preschool Yoga (ages 3-5 years): Wednesdays 3 – 3:45 pm with Jessica
Mommy Yoga + Baby (pre-crawlers): Thursdays 5 – 6:15 pm with Cindi
Prenatal Yoga: Thursdays 6:30 – 7 :45 pm with Cindi
MA YOGA is a group of yoga teachers dedicated to helping women enjoy their journey to motherhood and beyond. We believe that pregnancy can be an opportunity to connect to our bodies and our hearts in a whole new way; experience the importance of community by meeting other moms-to-be; and embody the highest Self. We offer classes where women can gather, share stories and tips, find guidance and support, and use muscles and breath to move toward optimal alignment so they can leave feeling uplifted and strong.

MA YOGA teachers come from different backgrounds, and combine yoga principles with what they’ve found to be helpful in their own lives. We create a safe and playful class atmosphere in which women can explore their connection to their bodies and their babies in new, enjoyable and empowering ways.

Our teachers have been inspired by the Anusara philosophy of learning to “skillfully move in the current of the heart,” and we continue to study and practice ways of applying this philosophy in our lives to find more freedom, steadiness, and joy. We also continue studying and practicing the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment, which helps on a biomechanical level reduce pain and deepen our connection to innate strength.

Prenatal Yoga: Some women start the moment they find out they’re pregnant, others wait until they can get p off the couch... MA YOGA teachers incorporate the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment to help get rid of aches and pains and increase strength and freedom safely at ANY TIME of pregnancy. Partners are welcome to attend.

Mommy Yoga + Baby: Yoga for new moms means practicing in between feeds and changes. Come do what you can and enjoy some time with your breath, your baby and other moms. Come until they’re rawling.
Preschool Yoga: Yoga for 3-5 year olds. Take a 45 minute break and know your little one is gaining important tools to connect to a feeling of peaceful goodness inside – and having a blast in the process!

Free Concert!

Happy Holiday Jam with ….

EGG

Sunday, December 12th @ 11:00am


“Go ahead and file this alt-rock trio’s phenomenal debut CD in the “Mommy? Daddy? Why are you listening to my music?” pile. The members of “EGG” are obviously firm believers in the there’s-no-need-to-dumb-it-down school of children’s music, and their fantastically fun album proves that parents and kids definitely can rock along together, singing the same lyrics in unison. Egg may be the quintessence of cross-generational appeal!”
- Christopher Healy, Cookie Magazine..

See you there!

Annie Dubrinsky graduated from University of Michigan in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and Music History, where she received the Robertson Award for Outstanding Performance in Music. She moved to Los Angeles in 2002. She is a singer-songwriter and piano player who performs regionally and nationally under the name Annie Stela. She was signed to Capitol Records from 2003-2007 where she recorded her first album, Fool, available at Dragonfly DuLou! Annie has spent several years as a nanny to two very special families, as well as teaching private piano lessons to kids. Combining her love of music and children by teaching Music Together® at Dragonfly DuLou has been an organic and exciting step for Annie!!
Ellen Kennedy A seasoned commercial and TV producer for nearly 20 years, Ellen turned her sights on music for children in 2006. Inspired by the day-to-day life with her then 3-year-old son, and pregnant with twins, Ellen and her husband Matt formed the “kindie rock” band Ellen and Matt, and recorded and released their first CD, “Best Friends”. Over the next three years, Ellen and Matt received critical acclaim and developed quite a following playing shows in New York and all over Los Angeles, including serving as the “house band” at Dragonfly DuLou! Ellen also taught traditional Hebrew and Jewish music to the religious school children of Ohr HaTorah congregation for two years. She loves trying out all of the Music Together songs on her three rambunctious sons, and is excited to be a member of the Dragonfly DuLou family.

Free Concert for Families!!

Free Concert with Dan Zanes

Tuesday, June 22

Join us for a special in store concert with the one and only Dan Zanes!


Dan Zanes is a big star in kids’ music, he’s collaborated with artists diverse as Natalie Merchant, Lou Reed, and The Blind Boys of Alabama and now he’s here to rock Dragonfly DuLou!


Bring the whole family for a show that is not to be missed!


“His albums are hip enough for Debbie Harry and Lou Reed to make cameos but accessible enough for the under—ten set to sing along... this is good ‘ol fashioned pop music for all ages.”
-Esquire

“True children’s music, but executed with such sweet (and un-gooey!) humor, casual multiculturalism and shambling groove that you can call it your own.”
-The New York Times

Raising Bilingual Children...

How To Raise a Bilingual Child
with Professor Simona Montanari Ph.D.

Do you want your child to learn two languages?
Are you not sure when to introduce your child to a second language?
What if one of the parents does not speak that second language?

At this workshop, parents will learn:

  • How learning two languages in childhood differs from learning just one
  • What to expect when a child is learning two languages
  • What to do when the child mixes languages or refuses to use one
  • How to optimize the child's bilingual development
  • What to do when language/speech/learning disabilities exist and more

Presented (in English) by Prof. Simona Montanari, Ph. D., Professor
of Language Development and Second Language Acquisition at
California State University, Los Angeles. Prof. Montanari
is an expert in bilingual/second language development
and a mother of two trilingual daughters.
