I have been teaching Kids Yoga for over four years. My thorough KAY training has given me the skills, knowledge, and experience to lead creative and well-managed kids’ Yoga classes. I am available for Private classes. I have worked with kids in other sporting activities like, swimming and equestrian where they wanted to increase their flexibility and focus.

All of my KIDDING AROUND YOGA classes are designed to provide your child with skills they can use immediately and for years to come. The KAY program provides a sense of calm, balance, and power for every child that rolls out a mat. I can’t wait to share Kids Yoga with you and the young Yogis in your life right here in East Cobb, Roswell and Marietta areas in Georgia.

I have completed 200-hours of Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga training with DwiPada Yoga School and 95-hours of yoga training for kids with Kidding Around Yoga. I am registered with Yoga Alliance, the largest nonprofit association representing the yoga community.

Also, I have a 22-year background working for Shelby County Schools. I believe that children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves.

Kids that do Yoga grow up to become adults that do Yoga!

Hi, my name is Chelsey and I am a certified Kidding Around Yoga Instructor. I started my yoga practice as a teenager going to adult classes with my mom or practicing on my own time at home. I would have loved to have a class like Kidding Around Yoga when I was a child. Yoga sends such a positive message of showing love not only to yourself but all living creatures. Through this class kids are able to connect their mind, body, and spirit and shine that light onto everyone they meet causing a beautiful yoga ripple effect.

Isidora Guzmán lives in Santiago de Chile with her two kids Salvador and Luciana.

In 2008 she graduated from the Universidad Academia de Humanismo Cristiano, known as Centro de Danza Espiral, obtaining her Dance Pedagogy and Performer degree. She was trained 5 years by renowned modern and contemporary dance masters such as Patricio Bunster, Raymond Hilbert, Jorge Olea, Carolina Bravo, Valentina Pavéz and Rodrigo Fernández among others.

In 2012 she graduated from the Simran Kaur Yoga School, as an Integral Yoga Instructor with Ayurvedic medicine mention. That same year, she started her path on teaching children Yoga following the “Childplay Yoga” method, by american master Gurudass Kaur Khalsa. This is how she began to teach children and young students.

Motivated by her first son’s cesarean birth, she began her voluntary journey as a Doula (birth attendant). After taking a course in 2013 with matrons Guadalupe Trueba and Pascale Pagola (DONA international) she voluntarily attended women in labor in a public hospital. She reborn with the birth of her second baby, in a respected and free labor, with her Yoga teacher by her side.

She then obtained her second 200 hours training as a Dynamic Hatha Yoga instructor at Mahatma Yoga Studio & YTT, certified by Yoga Alliance India. Then, along with her mentor Haris Lender decided to become a Kidding Around Yoga trainer, doing this in Argentina and Costa Rica with Mandy Lawson.

Isidora’s career, from 2008 to the present, has focused and developed on the education field, as a Dance, Ballet and Yoga Teacher, working in different schools, pre-schools and government programs, with childrens and teenagers from 2 to 18 years old.

Kathleen Egan first connected with yoga as a teenager in Australia and has integrated yoga practices into her daily life; growing and honing her own personal practice and establishing herself as a Vinyasa (RYT200) and Children’s (RCYT95) Yoga Teacher.
Kathleen spent her early adulthood working with at risk children and families where she saw the need for an alternative to traditional therapeutic methods and interventions. Kathleen is currently studying Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga (300) with JRI in the hope to integrate both of her worlds.
Since moving to the Netherlands in 2016 Kathleen has created The Yoga Space, Hilversum to share yoga with the expat community practicing mostly with children and teenagers.

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.

I started practicing Yoga over 15 years ago. In stressful times Yoga was my tool to relax and refocus. Teaching Drama classes to children and getting in touch with all the kids around me, I realised how much they need the same. Yoga gives everyone, adults and children a unique way to achieve empowerment, self awareness, confidence and peace of mind. But everyones approach to the treasure within oneself varies. Kidding around Yoga is a fun and rewarding path to lead children to mindfulness, peace and joy.

After graduating, she expanded her services to include kids yoga to help children manage their stress through breathing, movement and meditation. Over the years, Jaime has supported hundreds of clients of all ages with a wide range of goals.

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!

After many years of being curious about the practice of yoga and meditation, Lisa sought out a class to manage the stress and overwhelm of becoming a newly qualified Primary School teacher in Scotland. She immediately felt connected to the practice and quickly felt the positive effects of learning how to be still and move mindfully in Vinyasa, Yin and Ashtanga classes.

Upon moving to Perth Australia in 2015, Lisa sought out a new ‘yoga home’ to help her to internally adjust to her new surroundings and fell in love with the strength of an Ashtanga Yoga practice and also discovered a contrasting love of restorative and meditation practices which she believes has been invaluable for her self-development and personal growth.

Recognising the power of the practice, Lisa began to incorporate aspects of yoga practices into primary school classrooms where she has taught children of ages 5-12 years old. She saw an increasing need to teach children tools to self-inquire and take a conscious pause in the busy schedule of the school day and beyond with many students experiencing anxiety, overwhelm and difficulties in self-regulation and emotional literacy. Many students would regularly ask for yoga and mindful moments throughout the day and particularly loved the practice of affirmation; many insightful discussions were started from using affirmation cards and short meditations, even at the lower Primary stage!

These small inclusions of yoga through the day were impacting her students and many parents responded that their children were bringing some of the teachings home with them too to pass onto their families.

Upon reflection of how the experience of yoga and mindfulness had impacted her and the students she taught so strongly, Lisa decided to undertake Hatha Vinyasa and Restorative yoga teacher training with a strong desire to share the experience of yoga with others. In order to deliver a yoga class specific to the needs of children, Lisa completed Kidding Around Yoga training and loves being part of the global KAY community; filled with people who share a common passion for creating happy and peaceful children! Her passion is yoga for young people, from toddlers to teens, and she believes wholeheartedly in the potential of yoga in nurturing happy, confident and compassionate future generations.

Lisa believes in the accessibility of KAY for allowing anyone who works or lives with young people to be able to deliver a confident, coherent, super fun class. So much so that she wants to share this training in Australia! In 2019 she began sharing her love of all things kid’s yoga and KAY to bring others onto this magical path!

“Yoga is a great tool to keep our heads cool so join the tribe!”

I have been a children’s art teacher for years, with only two intentions in mind each day: making kids smile, even on a crumby day and to remind them that they are in charge of where their art takes them, with the use of one very important tool: their imagination.
In the spring of 2016 I discovered Kidding Around Yoga, and took my training that summer. I have been hooked ever since, and my life has been so much richer since I have joined the KAY family.
When I discovered Kidding Around Yoga it was the perfect fit for me. Kidding around, and yoga!
In my classes, children are given the tools to deal with everyday stresses life brings, while learning that kindness is key. Children of all ages benefit from the KAY method with original music, games, and sensory play as well as other tools and activities to help children focus their minds and stretch their bodies, all while having loads of fun.

I received my 200 RYT from InBody Academy in the spring of 2019. Currently I am doing various trainings, and reading lots of books to further my education and focus in yoga and mindfulness with children. Right now I am having a lot of fun doing loose parts play in my classes. This makes me so happy, and the children learn a lot from this method.

Like many others, my yoga journey started with a need to care for myself.

After practicing yoga for more than 10 years, I decided to do my teacher training in India. The initial aim was to be more self-aware and to learn how to cope with daily challenges. And it was here that I realised how important it is to connect the breath with movement and how this unification can lead to a calmer and happier self. It’s so important that we enable the children of the world with the same tools. Kidding Around Yoga is the perfect balance of traditional yoga practice and fun for your little ones.

The tools I have gained and skills learnt through KAY training have enabled me to be a more patient and understanding English teacher. Also to connect with little yogis and help them start and explore their yoga journey.
