Just finished my training with Sarah in Orlando this weekend. I can hardly contain myself. I almost just had my neighbors (who were outside when I pulled in), my husband and daughter (Liv is 16 going on 26 ;)) all doing a class before I even got into my house. Sarah is such a motivator. I’d like to compliment her on the amazing job she did this weekend. She is a NATURAL! I haven’t laughed that many times in one weekend since college. I had NO IDEA what to expect coming into this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you for finding Sarah and for creating KAY. I am looking forward to changing the lives of children, one child at a time, thru Yoga, play and secret gardens.

As cliche as it sounds, the KAY training I took has changed my life, as well as my family. I have learned invaluable information to bring back to my classroom that not only the kids love but that makes my job WAY MORE FUN! I am stopped everywhere I go and get asked if I am the Yoga lady and the children want to know if they can come to one of my classes. Once you see a child’s face as they float out of your door, you will be a believer!!!

After an amazing 3 day training from Haris, I couldn’t wait to to begin teaching kids Yoga at my elementary school where I am a kindergarten teacher. The very next day I taught a K-2 class (no mats, props, just kids on a carpet) and it was fantastic. The kids asked immediately when we could have another Yoga class! The next day I taught a class to grades 3/4 and was a little nervous about modifying for the older kids and they loved it too! Their favorite was doing the Yoga Slide and getting to relax in their Secret Garden. One girl said, ‘I can’t wait to go back to my Secret Garden!’ I am looking forward to teaching more grades! It is going to be a weekly class at my school! Thank you, Haris, for the tools to teach these children!

My name is Sarah and I’ve been teaching kids yoga for a little over a year. I decided to get KAY Certified to open up opportunities to teach elsewhere. The KAY training has transformed my classes. I was confident in my teachings before, but this provided so many tools and fill in the puzzle pieces that I didn’t even realize were missing and created a great flow for the children and myself included. I love the KAY program and am absolutely recommending it to any of my yogi friends wanting to take that leap to childrens yoga. Thank you Kidding Around Yoga!

I want to take a moment to applaud you on the magnificent gift you are spreading through the world…. I can honestly tell you that you have blown me away, so much so that I’m really at a loss for words that can truly express how grateful I am to you. I have taken so many classes and trainings and Kidding Around Yoga teachings has managed to fill that empty feeling that had always stuck with me after other trainings. I sit there in the training and I see the gift you have and how you are so willing to truly share this to help others spread your love and it amazes me!! Haris I will always be in debt to you for this gift. I sincerely thank you for this amazing lesson and for helping fill the empty space in me. May the good Lord bless you always Haris! I am always here and willing to do what ever I can to spread your love to our children!

Kidding around Yoga teacher training was one of the best things I could have done for myself at the start of this new year. I am in graduate school and pursuing a degree focusing on research in childhood obesity. I kept telling myself I was too busy and I didn’t need to add anything else onto my plate. But the idea of getting kid’s Yoga teacher certified kept nagging at me. I am so glad I decided to become certified this weekend with Kidding Around Yoga. The whole weekend was orchestrated down to a tee. Everything had its place and time and I never felt rushed or hurried. I feel completely comfortable to go out and teach a kid’s Yoga class tomorrow. As a yogi who has had a personal practice for 5 years I loved how true to the spirit of Yoga this program stayed. Not only did Haris make Yoga fun and exciting for kids of all ages, she stayed true to the belief that the asanas are all to tire us down for the true pose of Savasana, or as we call it the Secret Garden. And also making sure children understand the importance of meditation and a mindful practice. Because in the end Yoga is not just another exercise regimen, it is a science that creates a mindfulness throughout all areas of life. And teaching this at such a young age in a fun and inviting way is what Kidding Around Yoga is all about. I am so excited and proud to say I am a teacher representing what this company believes in. Peace begins with me and you. Namaste.
