A YogaKids class makes yoga accessible to kids of every learning style by integrating music, art, science, literacy, and so much more.
Our world-class certification program is ideal for yogis, educators, parents, teachers, occupational therapists, speech therapists, other child-focused professionals, ANYONE wanting to give the gift of yoga to children. No experience is necessary.
