Kidding Around Yoga with B4 Village is taught by Karen Meade, RN, IBCLC, LCCE, CPST. After having first been exposed to yoga as a child in the 1970s who, while wearing her burnt orange leotard and tights, accompanied her mother to an upstairs neighbor's condo to practice yoga as instructed by someone on an LP record, Karen rediscovered yoga while pregnant with her second child. Prenatal yoga helped Karen have the unmedicated birth she desired, and after that she was hooked on yoga! As a Lamaze-certified childbirth educator, Karen has taught Hatha prenatal yoga as an adjunct to her childbirth education programs for nearly 5 years. Now Karen and B4 Village, the 501c3 nonprofit organization she co-founded in 2019, are thrilled to offer Kidding Around Yoga as one of B4 Village's multiple program offerings for young and growing families. Peace begins with Kidding Around Yoga!

Happy Day small Yogis! My name is Rachel and I am a 200-RYT and KAY certified yoga instructor. While enrolled in my 200-hour teacher training I started to share what I was learning with my two children and quickly learned how I talk with adults about yoga is different than how you talk to a 9 and 6-year-old. I wasn’t looking for kid’s yoga but KAY found me and instantly I was hooked. KAY training has given me the tools and training to share the yoga my adult mind and body loves with children meeting them where they are in there yoga journey.
I believe everybody can benefit from yoga and KAY offers, games, songs, stories, actives and more to help introduce your child to the benefits of yoga. I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge of yoga with your children as we discover movement, songs, and stillness.

Hi, I’m Miss Jen! In addition to being a certified KAY Teacher, I am a 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher. Teaching yoga to children gives me so much joy. Kids today have a whole new set of challenges that can create stress, anxiety, even depression. Learning yoga at a young age can help them throughout their lifetime. I offer yoga lessons in an age-appropriate way. For younger children we sing, dance, breathe, meditate- all while having lots of fun. Then I tailor the curriculum as we move into the pre-tween/tween years and then finally for the teens, who have different needs and interests. I love sharing yoga with students of all ages!

I am a mother of three. I have been working with kids for 15 years as a reading specialist. I started to notice how difficult it was for my students to sit still, and I noticed how difficult it was for me to sit still. Through my search for stillness, I found yoga. Through yoga, I found my strength(mentally and physically), I found my voice and I found my passion. I began teaching yoga to adults, while I love teaching adults; it fills my cup to work with kids. It is my desire to teach as many children in my community and the surrounding communities the tools to navigate this thing called life.

Jenny has a huge passion for yoga and truly loves children! She considers herself SO blessed to be able to combine the two!

As a holistic health coach, yoga quickly became a form of “medicine” for her that brought the balance she had been seeking and feels that becoming an instructor is the best decision she's ever made. As a kid’s yoga instructor, she loves that she can provide children the tools they need to help cope in today’s fast-paced society that can sometimes leave children feeling overwhelmed and stressed out.

Kidding Around Yoga with Jenny is taught in a fun and engaging format through the introduction of poses in silly songs and playful games. At the same time, the more serious side of yoga is introduced in a format that is accessible to children of all ages.

Your child will leave feeling calm, peaceful and ready to take on the world!

Jenny maintains her certification with the Yoga Alliance (RYT 200), and is currently working on her certification with Yoga Medicine® (RYT 500) to become a Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist.
