Endorsed by Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weil, and Jean Houston, Ph.D., YogaKids is the original training program for kids yoga teachers and the leading provider of yoga products for kids, parents and educators around the world. 

The idea of yoga, breathing and mindfulness as powerful tools for change in the classroom began in 1986 by Marsha Wenig while teaching poetry to children in a Los Angeles elementary school. After years of research, the study of numerous educators such as John Dewey, Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner, Magda Gerber and Howard Gardner, along with lessons gleaned from hundreds of children, YogaKids was founded in 1991 with one simple idea: help kids make a better world through yoga.

The YogaKids training program has influenced the lives of thousands of graduates, certified teachers and has revolutionized the way yoga is taught to children. Our program has been endorsed by Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weil, and Jean Houston, Ph.D. Recognized three times by the Parents’ Choice Awards, our videos and products have introduced more than a million children, their families and through them their communities, to the peace that yoga brings.

Whether your aim is to become a kids yoga teacher — or to get new tools for integrating yoga and mindfulness into a child-friendly environment (classroom, home, office) — we invite you to join our global community of teachers, professionals, yogis, parents and more as we continue our mission… to empower children to love and learn through yoga.
