TESTIMONIALS
Kids yoga was nothing like what I thought prior to taking the training. Jen and Jen are Ah-mazing teachers and you too will be an advocate all day, every day, for our young spirits who need tools to navigate this big world once you complete the training. Mindfulness, structure with chaos, calmness, and play all to bring children to a level of peace that they desperately need and will truly embrace. ~ Angela G.
become a kids yoga teacher!
Whether it is math, art, reading, books, singing and music, playing games or teaching mindfulness, our classes teach to the full spectrum of learning styles.
