YogaKids is recognized by the Yoga Alliance Certification program and was created in early 1990’s by Marsha Wenig.  The YogaKids Methodology is an unique approach to integrative learning using yoga as a pathway.  Reading, storytelling, music, creative arts and earthcare blend seamlessly with yoga movements to educate the ‘whole child’.  The YogaKids curriculum provides children with an exciting new way to explore and appreciate their academic and creative potential.  Children learn invaluable skills that set the groundwork for meeting challenges and growing strong physically, mentally, and emotionally, cultivating self-esteem for a lifetime of successful achievement.  The benefits of Yoga for kids has been researched and results have proven that Yogakids classes have a significant positive effect on academic achievement, general health, personal attributes and relationships with other children.
