🪄 The Real Impact:
Kids who go through this kind of class often:
✨ Learn how to calm themselves without being forced
✨ Get comfortable expressing emotions
✨ Associate mindfulness with something positive (not a chore)

And again… adults could absolutely benefit from this exact same approach, but that’s a different conversation 😂

So, I am basically that woman who said, “What if kids could have mindfulness… but make it fun, chaotic, and adorable?”—and then actually made it happen.

I started out in the corporate advertising world (very Mad Men, very suits, very deadlines), but then pivoted—like a true queen—into yoga and wellness. Not just regular yoga, though. No, no. I said, “Adults are stressed, sure… but have you met children?” 😅

So in 2002, I created Karma Kids Yoga, which is honestly kind of iconic in the kids’ wellness space. Think:
⭐️ Yoga, but with storytelling
⭐️ Meditation, but with giggles
⭐️ Movement, but make it imaginative (like pretending to be animals, going on adventures, all that good stuff)

It’s not about forcing kids to sit still and be zen (because… unrealistic). It’s about meeting them where they are—high energy, curious, a little chaotic—and channeling that into something grounding.

And here’s the gag: I didn’t just open a cute little studio and call it a day. I built a whole movement:
❤️Training teachers all over the world
❤️ Bringing yoga into schools (yes, emotional regulation for the babies 💅)
❤️ Basically making mindfulness accessible before it was trendy

So yeah—Karma Kids Yoga is giving:
🔥 Visionary pivot energy
🔥 Wellness pioneer
🔥 “Let’s help kids not grow up completely stressed out” realness

Preschool teachers know the importance of varying activities throughout the school day to keep children engaged. Introducing yoga and mindfulness into the preschool classroom is a great way for teachers to check in with students and to create meaningful transitions when moving from one activity to another.

This course focuses on the age appropriate poses and games, breathing exercises, and visualization techniques, as well as specific developmental considerations, that can be seamlessly incorporated in the classroom throughout the school day. We will share creative and fun ways for keeping kids engaged, for transitioning between daily tasks, for calming and soothing, for focus and attention, self-regulation and for whenever energy needs to be released, no matter where you are or what your class is doing. ❤️

You’ll learn how to teach fun yoga classes from 5 minute exercises to 60 minute classes. Experience how we combine simple yoga poses with engaging songs, puppets and stories that exercise social, sensory and motor skills while increasing flexibility. Kids will strengthen their bodies as they learn how to focus through breathing and relaxation techniques.

Ages 1 - 5 years.

Come Play Preschool Yoga!

Sunday, March 1st, 9am - 5pm at Balance Arts Center, 151 W 30th Street, NYC.
