I will teach your child The ABC's of Yoga for Kids using the alphabet, rhyming vignettes to introduce children to yoga in a kid-friendly way. I will teach fifty-six different poses that promote flexibility, strength, and coordination while encouraging children to incorporate healthy activity into their daily lives. Yoga is a noncompetitive form of exercise, suitable for children (and adults) of all ages and athletic abilities. Any activity for young children is important because the nation, including our youth, is under siege by obesity, stress, and diseases like diabetes, which stem from poor diet and lack of exercise. Yoga for young kids will create good habits and a foundation for well-being. Children have a lot of fun learning new positions, new letters, and new ideas.
Your child will learn basic yoga techniques and positions. let children see what it's like to be in a real yoga class, encouraging them to participate, get fit, and stay flexible. Yoga means to unite!  The practice of yoga with a baby can help parents bond with the baby more deeply, and understand how best to care for them.  When parents come to yoga class they are not distracted by the outside world.  Yoga can bring moms and dads closer to understanding and supporting their child's intentions, needs, and desires.
Thousands of years ago when yoga was first developing, yoga masters studied the movements of babies to create postures, or asanas.  However, the natural movement babies need to experience is being reduced with the overuse of confining baby-holding devices such as infant car seats, walkers, seated activity centers, and strollers.
A baby coming up to a walking stance reflects the Downward Facing Dog Pose in Yoga.  You are never too young or too old to start the practice of yoga.  Parents are invited to start practicing the postures.  The time you spend doing Yoga is a vacation from the rest of your day!  I will teach Magic Poses that can reduce fussiness.  When people learn how beneficial yoga is, they want to share it with their families.
Come and learn how to turn your babies fussiness into happiness and to reduce anxiety.  Yoga can also ease gas pain and colic for infants.
Let's Go to the Ocean
This program presents a simple yoga routine for children, set on the beach. Meant to inspire activity and imagination, children learn to move and pose like a boat, fish or dolphin.
For kids we foster creativity, cooperation, and confidence in a safe environment where all children are perfect just the way they are.

Children aren’t little adults. They have different needs, respond to different stimuli, and learn in different ways. My Karma Kid's and Buddha babies yoga classes are invigorating and interactive.  My class takes imaginative journeys into your child’s developing mind, body, and spirit.
General Benefits of Yoga
Yoga gives you a sense of calm.  It reduces stress in our Highly stressed society!  You can turn your mind off and actually change the balance of your nervous system.  Yoga lowers blood pressure and it helps your immune system function better.  Breathing thru your nose is more calming.  There is a theraputic benefit in breathe.  The heat in your body gives you energy.  While you are doing yoga poses you keep a soft face and don't contract muscles in your face.  When you concentrate in a completly relaxed manner you get rid of nervous energy.

Let mini yogis yoga for kids help your child develop flexibility, focus, and coordination for a happy, healthy, balanced life.

The Yoga technique of candle gazing for meditation purposes is very relaxing!  It is actually healing to burn a candle for 10 minutes a day.  Gazing at a candle is a form of external gazing, which we call Trataka.  Sometimes it is used as an eye exercise.
