Technology’s impact on children and teenagers is no joke. It’s never been more challenging for parents, educators, coaches and pediatric professionals to raise healthy, happy children.
Did you know that 1 in 6 children struggle with mental health issues? (Source: CDC) Mental health is the number one problem in our country. To help resolve this crisis, we start with children. Our video below showcases how our methods make a positive impact.
Our holistic approach at It’s Yoga Kids® teaches the whole child physically, emotionally and cognitively, ensuring that the inner self aligns with the outer self. Our program is research-based, making it more than just a playful activity; it’s a robust educational system from cradle to college. We remain true to the principles of traditional practices, teaching postures and principles both on and off the mat.
Mission: Create access to yoga to unite physical fitness and mental health for all ages worldwide. One of our goals is to connect disconnected families through our fun, unique, and evidence-based system. We help children feel healthier and happier, equipping them with the ability to navigate their emotions and energy successfully.
Method: In 2005, we created and developed a unique system combining ancient wisdom and modern science. This High5 Habits method exclusively utilized at It’s Yoga Kids®, combines the best of traditional practices with scientific understanding to support the physical and mental health of children and teens.
Values: Our focus is on giving children the skills and confidence to discover and listen to their inner selves and manage their emotions. We are a positive force for authenticity, connection, flexibility, growth, and JOY!
