Juniko Offers Week of FREE Kids Classes

Juniko, new Sanctuary for total health, wellness and fitness launches new Juniko Kids program and offers a week of free trial classes.

Celebrating The Art of Human Movement at Juniko: One week of FREE kids classes!

There is a new Sanctuary on the South Shore and it’s bringing the ‘art of human movement’ and the ‘art of human kindness’ to families with children of all ages.

Juniko, located across from the Hanover Mall (next to the Toy Box) in Hanover, Massachusetts, is a unique fitness and wellness studio rooted in the core values that matter most to families striving to teach their children to be the best version of themselves: confidence, humility, respect (for self and others), being positive and being nice. The natural integration of teaching children the importance of good sportsmanship, flexibility, agility, mental focus and of having sustainable fitness practices to compliment sports and competitive interaction is all cleverly disguised as natural, uninhibited fun, play and adventure at Juniko.

To celebrate this commitment to offering children a robust fitness selection while inspiring positive growth and development, Juniko is launching their new “Juniko Kids” program and inviting all children to enjoy one week of FREE classes beginning October 31, 2016. Boys and girls are encouraged to try all of the “Juniko Kids” formats and experience the fun that a diverse fitness lifestyle can offer. Registration is available by calling the studio at 781-924-1257.

Currently offering Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and diversified Youth Yoga to children ages 4 and up, “Juniko Kids” will now expand their youth offering to include Surfset Balance and Aerial Yoga classes in 6-week sessions.

Surfing in the studio and dancing mid-air teach balance, focus, and coordination, offering the perfect compliment to traditional sports. BJJ, a tool for training elite athletes and providing a unique fitness forum for children and adults of all ages, incorporates the art of mental focus, preparation, and physical challenge. Juniko’s new Family Membership package offers families the opportunity to truly “do it all” including unlimited access to all class formats.

Youth BJJ classes are taught by elite BJJ black belt instructors from all over the world. In addition to providing incredible fitness and mental conditioning instruction, Juniko BJJ instructors are rooted in the practice of inspiring children and adults to be good people, to respect each other and to believe in your own abilities and potential. These values are not only integrated into the BJJ instruction, they are carried out by all Juniko BJJ instructors in their daily lives and practice, inspiring others with the examples they set both in and out of the studio.

Inside the Juniko studio, classes are held on both the Canvas and in the Cube. On the Canvas, a beautiful and inspiring pure white soft surface and artful backdrop, children gain a sense for what their bodies can do through leverage, balance and mental commitment while truly using their own movements to create human art through diversified yoga and BJJ participation.

The Cube, currently home to the Aerial Yoga silks and Surfset Balance boards, is an intimate and fun space in which participants can engage using mirrors and mats to learn correct form, balance and to inspire one another.

Also located inside the Juniko Sanctuary is The Social, a delicious juice and smoothie bar offering cold-pressed organic juices, smoothies and a variety of vegetarian options including the Farmer’s Bounty sandwich, made fresh daily with organic ingredients locally sourced from Norwell Farms. Nutrition workshops for both adults and children are scheduled to begin in early 2017, adding a robust concentration on total health and wellness for the entire family.

Juniko, named after the historically significant Juniko Lakes of Japan, is a place for kids to be themselves, celebrate their creativity, embrace their individuality and discover the joy in being active and healthy. With so many unique and interesting ways to express themselves in the studio, fitness and wellness become an integral part of life and of growing up healthy, happy and energized. Juniko is the premier studio on the South Shore dedicated to encouraging kids to make fitness fun.

Give your child the gift of movement and positive development that will create a lifelong love of health and wellness – come have FUN at Juniko!
