Learning Opportunities
Join us in person or study from home. We offer a wide variety of learning opportunities from introductory workshops to a complete 200-hour program and lots of options in between.
Why Yoga for Children?
Children love Yoga! They love the movement and creative expression associated with the poses (called asanas). They appreciate the benefits and they cherish the opportunity to "rest" at the end of each class. Their enjoyment of the classes would be reason enough to teach Yoga to children - but the benefits go far beyond.
What's Next

We’re glad you stopped by. If you share our passion for helping children and families develop wellness through awareness, we are here to support you. We have lots of different ways we can provide you with Yoga tools and resources. The ancient practice of Yoga is an effective solution for the challenges our children are facing today. Empower yourself with what you need to know to help the children in your life.
We offer a wonderful array of effective techniques, based in the science and art of Yoga, for nurturing the development of children into the happiest, healthiest and most well balanced individuals they can be. It's more than barking in Down Dog and playing games (though we Do do that!). We are teaching children to develop self-regulation skills along with self-awareness and self-mastery. Parents, teachers, health care workers and other professionals who work with young people can benefit by augmenting their expertise with these techniques.
