When I grew up, Madonna belted, “We are living in a material world. And I am a material girl.”

Now, we are living in a digital world. Our kids are digital. And so are we. Our updated logo reflects this shift. There are other significant shifts too...

1 in 6 children ages 6+ struggle with anxiety and depression. And with them, our futures.

Since I started It’s Yoga Kids® in 2005 with my newborn baby, I’ve been reading research that affects children’s and teen’s health and incorporating it into our programs from cradle to college. Two new reports by Commonsense Media illustrate the digital challenges children, teens, families and educators face.

• The Dawn of the AI Era: Teens, Parents, and the Adoption of Generative AI at Home and School
• Unpacking Grind Culture in American Teens: Pressure, Burnout, and the Role of Social Media

In the last two decades, data about children’s health points to increased physical and mental distress and disease. But there is a proven answer. Yoga.

Yoga including evidence-based mindfulness, movement and meditation is most effective at managing performance pressure and reducing anxiety and depression. In addition to the well-known benefits of strength, flexibility, focus and balance, yoga improves self-esteem which is critical to developing more resilient and confident kids.

We all need the success skills only taught in yoga. To make it easier, we’ve modernized and streamlined our website with a new calendar to book classes, camps or a monthly family events benefiting a local non-profit organization. You can also plan a party, or a private, and get yoga at your school.

Most importantly, kids need us as leaders. In my 20 years of teaching, I’ve figured out how to to “do good” for myself, my kids and my community. I can show you how with Warrior Training online at your pace — or live once a year, starting every February.

Give yourself and the kids the best gift ever: healthier and happier futures. Start today at IYK®!
