YogaKids is a unique approach to integrative learning using
yoga as a pathway. Reading, storytelling, music, creative arts
and earthcare blend seamlessly with yoga movement to
educate the “whole” child. The YogaKids curriculum provides
children with an exciting new way to explore and appreciate their
academic and creative potential. Children learn invaluable skills
that set the groundwork for meeting challenges and growing
strong physically, mentally and emotionally, cultivating self-
esteem for a lifetime of successful achievement.
What is a class like ?
Traditional yoga techniques have been recreated in playful,
simple and fun ways. Using the Mulitple Intelligences Theory
of Harvard educator , Howard Gardener as a foundation, each
pose becomes a springboard for activities that open the
doorway to fully integrated learning. 14 YogaKids elements
enhance the learning experience and tap all of the senses.
What will kids yoga do for my child ?
Children are under a tremendous amount of stress from
