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.

Hey there! I’m Hayley and I am so proud to be a Kidding Around Yoga (KAY) certified instructor and Licensee!

I had practiced Yoga before having kids and thoroughly enjoyed it, but after I had my children I lost focus and I stopped putting myself first. Having three boys under the age of four, and living in a small apartment increased my stress levels somewhat and I decided that I needed an outlet, and fast!

So, back to Yoga I went and wowee did I notice a difference! I was happier and not so highly strung plus so many other amazing benefits. Then I thought, how incredible would it be if I could get my boys involved somehow. How amazing would it be to give them the skills so that they could understand mindfulness and learn calming strategies.

That is when I came across Kidding Around Yoga. I was so impressed that I undertook my Kids Yoga certification so that I could not only help educate my own kids, but many other kids too! KAY is the perfect fit for me, kidding around and Yoga.

It’s no secret that I love kids, and during a Kidding Around Yoga class we have a whole lot of fun while learning ways to regulate our emotions through breathing exercises, meditation and mindfulness.

Boys and girls of all ages benefit from the KAY method that combines engaging Yoga poses, games, dancing, entertaining original music, kindness and gratitude – all providing an opportunity for kids to feel better throughout their mind and body.

KAY songs such as the ‘Yogi Shake’, ‘Every Little Cell’, and ‘Jogging Through the Jungle’, are just a few of a long list of songs that help with moving the body. Children are already apt to move, shake and soothe themselves. It’s a natural tendency for children to participate in these activities. It is as we grow into patterns and expectations that we, as adults, begin to lose our natural tendencies and gain restrictions on our body and mind.

Children learn through play. In fact, KAY is fabulous as it teaches Yoga as play, and as the kids play, they integrate the lessons, cutting through any stress or worries without making anything serious about it… This teaches the kids how to pick up this play activity in times of difficulty and help themselves to feel better physically, mentally and emotionally. Kids will start to see things from a different perspective and it really works!

Over the years, Jaime has supported hundreds of clients of all ages with a wide range of goals.

Hello! I’m Jenn DiMiero. I’m a mom of four amazing kids, an Army wife and a 500hr RYT. For me, yoga has been a wonderful gift. It gave me an outlet for unwanted energy and a safe environment to learn who I really was while learning to quiet my mind and listen. This became a beautiful relationship with yoga that I’m still on today! I love goofing around, playing and creating with my little yogis and watching them blossom through the gift of yoga. We enjoy family hikes, adventures and learning new skills. Hopefully you can tell, kids, having fun, and going on adventures are my life!

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.
