I am already trained in toddler Yoga but didn’t feel my previous training had taught me enough asanas to teach the children or just enough to keep them interested and engaged. I found KAY and wanted to go on a live course but as they don’t currently have any in the UK, I decided to do OKAY. It was the best choice I’ve made! Haris and my mentor Katie have been so helpful with my many questions. The course itself, is interesting, factual and so much fun! I completed it in 2 weeks, I was hooked and I was disappointed when it ended! I cant wait to take the PreKAY and any future courses that KAY has to offer! Ive started teaching my KAY classes and my children love them! I cant wait to teach even more and for my confidence to build with every class! If you are thinking of taking a KAY course, don’t hesitate, sign up today!

I can’t believe how many different possibilities there are with this program. I’m going to be able to implement all the different aspects all throughout my classroom all day. My students and my children took the sample class today and I can see how much they enjoyed it. This program works.

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!

We covered every single angle you can think of do this for fun with passion with energy. I’m so excited and I know I can reach out to children whom I can bring Yoga to to make their lives filled with peace and stress-free.

Also, on my snow day today, I watched your wonderful DVD (everyone, go buy it, she’s fabulous!!) And also, it was great to have my mala beads when it took me 2.5 hours to get home (6 miles). Lots of breathing!!!

I got some great feedback from last week’s class… one mom emailed saying [her daughter] went to the secret garden that night before she went to bed… that made my day because this little girl suffers from anxiety and I helped her find a peaceful place… I LOVE this!!!!

Miracles do happen and KAY is one of them. I had not experienced a feeling of complete bliss for a long time. For all the people involved: Haris, Evan, Jai, Magela, Katie and Raquel, for all the situations, for all the difficulties and suffering, for all the blessings that have brought me to this day, as I am….Thank you, Muchas Gracias! I have found Haris & Co. an unequal team of support and cheer. The trainings will probably provide you with the most fun you will ever have for three continuous days but the lesson will last you a lifetime while changing it. You will love kids more than you ever did before and you will enjoy every minute you spend introducing them to all the magic in they KAY program. Namasté!
