Why Kids Yoga? 

In the last decade, Kids Yoga has evolved from a healthy fun activity to an educational necessity for wellness and success. Modern life is challenging! Parents want the best for their kids. We strive for better, stronger, faster, and smarter. These pressures, paired with the impact of our multi-media culture, make today's stressors unavoidable. Kids are facing a mental health crisis.

Anxiety, depression and suicide rates are up
Nearly half (50%) of today's children will develop a mood disorder, behavioral disorder or substance abuse problem by age 18
The suicide rate among adolescents is currently at its highest level in 20 years

Benefits of Yoga for Kids

Yoga is an answer. No other activity yields all its benefits. It aligns body, mind and heart so kids can succeed at every stage of growth. Students emerge with healthy habits:

To be purpose-driven
To lead powerfully and
To positively impact our communities

Movement, meditation and mindfulness help kids and families connect and build life skills to realize their full potential. Besides the well-known benefits of strength, flexibility, focus, balance, coordination and relaxation, Yoga is safe, self-competitive and fun! Perhaps even more enriching than it is for adults, kids learn leadership, teamwork and communication skills.

Clients include: San Francisco Public Library (SFPL), San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), SF Department of Children Youth and their Families (DCYF), First 5 California, Bright Horizons, KinderCare Learning Center, YogaWorks, Fine Yoga (China), Athleta, Lululemon, Google and more!

“I appreciated and plan to use everything we learned!! Most of all, I appreciated the games and tools for kids that are high energy....I was stumped on how to deal with those situations before I came. The books, especially the ones you wrote, I am so excited about!”

“I think it is important for you to know that your training was so thought-provoking for me, and I felt like the business mentorship you offered was invaluable... I really felt like you met me where I am and guided me forward to a place that I wanted to be in... That is HUGE!”

“It was not so easy this summer, with too many camps and not enough buddies in camps, but she REALLY liked IYK, her last camp (I wish we had started the summer with it). She loved the spirit of your program, and is still quoting some of the concepts. Also, your staff is awesome!”
