What is YogaKids?

YogaKids is recognized by the Yoga Alliance Certification program and was created in early 1990’s by Marsha Wenig. The YogaKids Methodology is an unique approach to integrative learning using yoga as a pathway. Reading, storytelling, music, creative arts and earthcare blend seamlessly with yoga movements 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.
