In YogaKids classes, traditional yoga techniques have been recreated in playful, simple and fun ways. Using the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Harvard educator Howard Gardner as a foundation, each pose becomes a springboard for activities that open the doorway to fully integrated learning. 14 YogaKids elements enhance the learning experience and tap all of the senses.

Children today are under a tremendous amount of stress from school, their environment, peer competition and expectations from the media.

"In our current system of teaching, learning is compartmentalized. The body is neglected in almost every subject except for gym class. The YogaKids program is a body-based system. Yoga becomes a springboard into all areas of curriculum. It presents the possibility to teach a complete form of exercise, reading, creative arts, science, ecology and health; to nurture a child's body, mind and spirit which will naturally boost their self-esteem."
