Spring and Summer Children’s Pietra Classes!
Contact: Robin Betz 425)281-0000 robin@betzfamily.org
Pietra Kids meet in Zoom
The Kid’s classes scheduled below are designed for ages 5-12. Older children and parents most welcome!
I am eager to lead the older children, grades 6-8, using the Theology of the Body meditations and some more advanced movements. Please reach out if you would like to discuss the option for adding a class using the routines and meditations for older children.
Like the younger TOB meditations, the meditations for the children grades 6-8 are developed with Pope St John Paul's Theology of the Body in an age-appropriate way while also teaching them how to glorify God with their bodies through exercise.

Pietra Kids
Building Strength in Body, Mind, and Soul
Every child is made in the image and likeness of God and has been endowed with a particular mission only they can fulfill. In order to be the person God created them to be, they must first and foremost have a personal relationship with God. It is also essential that, as integrated persons, they tend to their health in mind and body as much as they are able.
​
All kids' classes introduce exercises that strengthen and stretch different muscle groups in the body. Featuring the beautiful music of Gregorian chant for kids, classes incorporate Scripture and Catholic teachings, explained in ways that engage children.

A highlight of my day is leading little ones in Pietra classes.
​
Adjusting to the needs of each group of families that sign up for each session has gone beautifully. Reach out if you're interested in having your children participate but unsure if a specific day or time will work for you. God does provide.
Listed below is our tentative plan. I'm happy to reach out to the other families to see if we can accommodate your family needs.
Also, you can pop into one of our current classes and see how you like it!!
