Huddle Experiences

 

A Little Extra Magic Is Happening at Hedgie’s.

Some experiences don’t belong in an ordinary weekly routine.

An evening in pajamas. A Saturday spent creating. Building little worlds with LEGO® bricks. Exploring movement through yoga. Painting, making, imagining and discovering something new together.

And soon, a creative birthday celebration designed around one very special child.

 

Welcome to Huddle Experiences.

Huddle Experiences are special workshops and events where children can create, explore, play and discover something new — all in English.

Different experiences, the same warm Huddle feeling.

SEASONAL CREATIVE WORKSHOPS

Created by Our Huddle

With Maedeh & Gaia

Maedeh and Gaia guide our little Huddlers through special seasonal workshops, creating a warm, playful space where children can explore, create and learn together.

Through art, sensory play, STEM-inspired activities, stories, games and hands-on discovery, each workshop celebrates the season in true Hedgie’s style — with plenty of imagination and English along the way. 

From summer discoveries and autumn adventures to Christmas magic, every season brings something new to explore at the Huddle.

Each experience is different, but the philosophy remains the same:

Play first. Curiosity always.

VISUAL ART WORKSHOPS

Art Without the Pressure to Make Something Perfect.

With Ylenia dal Fior – ALMA

ALMA, created by Ylenia dal Fior, is a creative art experience where imagination, exploration and self-expression are at the heart of every workshop.

Ylenia is a trained art teacher and qualified educator with a degree in Education Sciences, with experience in social, educational, healthcare and cultural settings.

Her approach combines art, education and inclusive pedagogy, creating a welcoming environment where every child can explore creativity at their own pace.

Through a gentle, non-performance-based approach, children are encouraged to experiment freely, develop their own ideas and enjoy the creative process without focusing on achieving a “perfect” result.

Workshops explore different artistic techniques, including ceramics, clay modelling, ceramic painting, watercolour, collage and mixed-media projects.

MOMMY AND ME YOGA

Yoga Through Play, Movement & Imagination

With Chiara Matteazzi

Just Flow, created by Chiara Matteazzi, offers playful yoga experiences where movement, emotions and imagination come together.

Chiara is a certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher (200-hour RYT Yoga Alliance), with additional training in Yin Yoga and Prenatal Yoga.

She is also a certified Yoga for Children teacher (30h Children Yoga).

Her approach is rooted in mindful movement, body awareness and self-exploration, encouraging a deeper connection between body and mind.

Through play, movement, breathing and imagination, children are invited to discover their bodies, connect with their inner resources and learn to recognise, explore, regulate and express their emotions. 

A Journey Together Through Play, Breathing, and Cuddles
What Is It About?

A special, safe space where mothers and children can slow down, listen to each other, and have fun together.

Are you looking for a moment of authentic connection away from the frantic pace of everyday life? This is not your typical serious and silent yoga class: it is a true fantasy journey filled with stories, animal imitations, movement games, and music.

Through play and physical contact, the practice transforms each pose (asana) into an adventure to be shared as a duo. Mom becomes a support, a bridge, or a playmate, helping her little one gain confidence in their body in a natural and joyful way.

Why Join?

FOR CHILDREN
It helps develop coordination, balance, and flexibility, while encouraging children to recognize their emotions and manage their energy through breathing. There is no competition — the focus is on connection, cooperation, and enjoying the experience together.

FOR MOMS
A chance to enjoy gentle stretching, move the body, slow down, and rediscover the pleasure of being fully present with your little one.

FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP
Shared movement, eye contact, laughter, hugs, and quiet moments help create an experience centered around connection and togetherness.

How Does the Session Work?
  1. WELCOME & WARM-UP
    We begin together on the mat with a song or a short storytelling game to gently awaken the body.
  2. THE MAIN ADVENTURE
    Stories, animal-inspired poses, movement games, and imagination take us on a playful yoga journey, alternating active moments with moments of calm.
  3. RELAXATION & CUDDLES
    We slow things down with gentle relaxation, cuddles, and a quiet moment together.
  4. COMMUNITY TIME
    And after yoga, a little something for mom too: coffee and time to connect with other moms at the Huddle.
What Do You Need to Bring?

Comfortable clothes for both mom and child, a yoga mat each — or one large mat to share — and plenty of willingness to play and be amazed!

You don’t need to be a yoga expert or flexible. All you need is the desire to spend quality time together, with your body and your heart.
