Yoga Kids: Educating the Whole Child Through Yoga

The innovative YogaKids program offers more than just poses: It blends traditional yoga and its benefits with new theories of multiple learning styles in a comprehensive, imaginative, and playful approach to education. Inspired by Dr. Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, the YogaKids program treats yoga as a medium for learning, using different 'elements' - among them anatomy, music, visual art, ecology, and language - designed to stimulate and teach. When children practice yoga in this way, they are also learning math, reading, science and nature, and much more. YogaKids presents more than 50 carefully selected poses paired with special activities that stimulate children's verbal, spatial, and artistic skills.
