The Phresh Kids Mat & Chi Flow and Phreeze Game

Easily integrated into any learning environment, our fitness curriculum and ecologically responsible mat package safely lead children through several series of exercises emphasizing flow yoga, breakdance phreezes, creative movement, and alignment.

Our specially designed non-toxic mats utilize playful symbols that are easy to recognize, positioned for proper body placement, and developed to promote neuro-muscular development, motor coordination, and fitness for growing bodies.

And while the curriculum is presented as an interactive Flow and Phreeze game to children, it is actually a research tested physical education program designed to inspire a simple-yet-sophisticated interplay between teacher, child, and mat. Each routine places a mindful emphasis on increased wellbeing, confidence, and mental focus for optimal learning.

Regarding various heights of students

The symbol spacing as well as the size of the symbols provide for larger mat coverage and create enough space to compensate for different sizes. The directions state that the child is encouraged to touch the symbol, however, if the proper body part is near the symbol that is good enough. For example, if fingers or toes are within an inch or two of the symbol, coupled with mirroring the proper posture shown in the curriculum, the child will still be guided into a more technically correct position. We stress that it is better for the exercise to "feel right" than for the placement to be on the center of the symbol. Another motto we have adopted is "wherever you are, you are perfect." Our goal is to get kids to perform postures and movements with more accuracy, not perfection. While the mat makes for easier learning, alignment, and provides a way to properly develop skill levels, the mat is in no way completely guaranteed injury risk free. We encourage all teachers and students to move their bodies mindfully!
