Kidding Around Yoga

with Jen

Fun-filled kids yoga, meditation, and mindfulness for schools, events and more.

About Me

Jen has been an RYT200 yoga teacher since 2016, but she has studied and worked in both the fitness and childcare industries for over 20 years. Her journey to becoming a kid’s yoga instructor began while working as a preschool teacher. After receiving her certification, Jen embedded yoga into her class curriculum and saw that the kid-centered practice provided her students with a space where they could work out their wiggles, practice self-soothing techniques, and have fun with their classmates. With these new techniques, her students were better able to communicate their thoughts and emotions and learned to accept and support the differences among their classmates. This helped them during times of conflict between friends and during moments when they were feeling sad or stressed.

After 20+ years of teaching Pre-K, Jen hung up her teaching hat and returned to school to pursue a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at Texas State University…Go Bobcats! She is a mom to four awesome children (two girls and two boys) and has an overly rambunctious red heeler mix named Phin… aka “Pudge”.

Jen’s classes teach traditional yoga poses, breathwork, and meditation techniques through storytelling, games, and dancing. She provides a judgment-free environment where every child can have fun and express their individuality. KAY’s original songs and music make classes so much fun even grown-ups can’t help but join in. What better way to connect with kids than to be a kid yourself?

The Magic of Kidding Around Yoga

When children experience KAY classes, they are not only building physical strength and flexibility, they are learning skills that will provide mental and emotional benefits throughout their lives! The magic of Kidding Around Yoga is our unique class programming. KAY teachers are experts in meeting each child’s needs, providing creative activities, games, songs, and crafts based on traditional yoga and meditation practices.

Our children live in a busy world and KAY classes are an oasis providing a safe place to be creative, move freely, and experience calm. We look forward to being part of your child’s day!
