YogaKids is an internationally acclaimed yoga program founded in 1991. The YogaKids program takes traditional yoga poses and makes them fun, understandable and accessible to children with the idea to build a lifelong love and practice in the art and science of yoga, yet without the dogma and spiritual part of yoga that can often be controversial. Instead, we use a lot of affirmations, like “I can do it”.

Marsha Wenig, the founder of YogaKids International was inspired by Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of  multiple intelligences, the YogaKids program treats yoga as a medium for learning, using 14 “elements” - among them anatomy, music, visual art, ecology and language - designed to stimulate and teach. When children practice yoga in this way, they are also learning math, reading, science and nature, as well as so much more.
