About Us

​Happy Little Art Studio is an art studio for children located in the Four Corners neighborhood in Silver Spring, Maryland.

At Happy Little Art Studio we believe that all students are capable of coming up with good ideas. We teach our young artists how to develop these ideas into original finished works of art. The focus of our curriculum is creative thinking and independent decision making. Our classes are extremely small and this allows us to offer a completely diversified and powerful experience.

Classes are held at the Silver Spring Day School, located at 33 University Blvd. East, Silver Spring, MD 20901.
The art studio is downstairs in the Silver Spring United Methodist Church Building.

Ylla Bishop - Yoga Instructor
​

Ylla's love for yoga and sharing it with her kids led her to teach yoga with children. Ylla, RYT 200, YoKid and ChildLight trained, believes that through the practice of yoga and creative activities, children are empowered with skills to focus, calm, relax, explore, and create. From this foundation children can develop confidence, love, strength and respect for themselves and others. With enthusiasm and playfulness, Ylla provides a fun, lighthearted, and explorative environment that is nurturing and at the same time challenging - just like life. Ylla's teaching and own practice continue to be inspired by her daughter and son who embody all that yoga has taught them up until now - presence, awareness, love, strength, and so much more.
