Kidding Around Yoga With Elana

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

About Kidding Around Yoga

Every Kidding Around Yoga class offers a complete, age-appropriate Yoga practice including breathing instruction, relaxation techniques, stretching and strengthening poses, all using fun-filled music, games, and imagination. KAY’s secret is our playfulness, keeping your child motivated, excited, and moving. This is not your typical Yoga class. A KAY class gets children singing, dancing, skipping, marching, jogging, shaking, laughing, hopping, limbo-ing, and storytelling ALL while practicing Yoga to original KAY music.

Kidding Around Yoga classes are a unique opportunity to give your child skills that will provide a sense of balance, calm, and power for years to come.

Camps

Summer is for quality time with friends, family vacations, cool treats, and most importantly …CAMP! Kidding Around Yoga with Ms. Elana knows why every year millions of kids attend Summer Camp across the US – the benefits are AMAZING! Spending days physically active, gaining confidence in activities, increasing resiliency, and unplugging from technology are some of the highlights children experience at camp on a daily basis. Now how about adding some Yoga & Mindfulness to complete their exciting summer!

Here are 5 Reasons YOUR CAMP should offer Kidding Around Yoga with Ms. Elana:

IT’S FUN!

– Children will learn exciting poses inspired by animals, plants, transportation and more. Partner poses for older kids are a blast and teaches cooperation in a team environment.

IT PREPARES CHILDREN FOR THEIR SCHOOL YEAR.

– Campers will learn tips for quieting the mind through yoga games and meditation that increase their ability to sit still, concentrate, and listen internally – which are all excellent skills for school! (You’re Welcome Teachers!)

IT BUILDS CONFIDENCE.

– Even after learning a simple pose, like balancing on one leg in Tree Pose, kids will come home and say, “Mom/Dad, look what I can do.” These bragging rights are really powerful for children and helps them build up much needed confidence in our competitive world.

IT SETS THEM UP FOR A HEALTHY FOUNDATION LATER IN LIFE.

– A regular practice of yoga can help children sleep better, improve coordination, boost their immune systems, and encourages self-care.

IT HELPS THEM RELAX AND CHILL OUT.

– After a full yoga class with music, poses, games, activities, and breathing, they are ready for Kidding Around Yoga’s Secret Garden meditation to relax and be still…and they LOVE IT!
