We are so excited to congratulate the NEWEST set of Twist Kids Yoga trainees. We can’t wait to see what positive ripples they create for the future generation of mindful humans.

What’s the most powerful thing that you witnessed recently?

For me it was when I lead 2 groups of 3 & 4 year olds through several different breathing exercises in a classroom.

These kids love yoga and every week I teach them different elements of yoga. However, this class was unique in that I designed the whole class time to center around BREATH.

After each exercise, I would give them a moment to pause and notice. They were so cute sitting there with their palms on their laps and spines straight. After the pause, I would ask ‘Do you feel calm.’ They’d get excited and say YES! then I’d ask ‘Do you feel strong?’ They’d get excited and say YES! and lastly, I’d ask, ‘Do you feel happy?’ and once again I got a “YES!!” The teachers were in ahh. They were like ‘What are you doing to them Mary Beth?’

Want to learn the magic of teaching kids about BREATH? This is one of several elements that we teach in Kids Yoga Teacher Training.

I loved the movie ‘Inside Out’ because I felt it was so related to yoga & mindfulness. Through yoga & mindfulness we can teach the kids that it’s ok to feel their feelings. We are all made of emotions and at certain times in our lives we may feel an emotion stronger than at other times. What would life be like if JOY was your lead emotion? What would life be like if SADNESS was your lead emotion? What would life be like if ANGER was your lead emotion? What would life be like if FEAR was your lead emotion? What would life be like if DISGUST was your lead emotion? Did you have an imaginary friend when you were younger? Did he/she do anything extraordinary?

Children are like flowers. They are sweet by nature & wild at heart.

Our philosophy is to nurture the WHOLE child.

Let them grow organically, nurture them, keep them rooted and allow them to grow into who they are meant to BE.
