About

As a multi-location kids' yoga and aerial studio, If I Was A Bird Yoga brings its La Mesa programming to Baltimore Drive in the Fletcher Hills area, complementing flagship locations in Del Mar and Point Loma's Liberty Station. The schedule spans toddler-through-teen age groups with dedicated tracks—Low Fly Aerial for ages four through six, Youth Aerial for seven through ten, and pre-teen sessions for eleven and up—structured around developmental-movement principles shared by fitness educators like FIT and KNEADY. Art-and-yoga combination classes layer painting, clay work, and craft projects onto the movement curriculum, creating a hybrid format that runs across all three studio locations. Aerial instruction uses suspended fabric hammocks to teach inversions, alignment, and body awareness, a movement-arts discipline that parallels the structured choreographic training at California Ballet Co & School elsewhere in La Mesa. All-Inclusive Sensory sessions on the La Mesa schedule serve children with disabilities and sensory processing needs, offering modified aerial work and swing play in an adapted environment. The aerial curriculum builds from Low Fly hammock work—where fabric hangs at hip height for younger participants—up through full-inversion sequences for older students, progressing difficulty by height, load, and pose complexity across multi-week enrollment sessions.
