Our method of teaching yoga to children incorporates the use of animated poses, props, music, art, games, storytelling and the imagination, to help stimulate their senses as well as stretch and strengthen their developing bodies.

The Karma Kids Yoga approach uses creative techniques to keep children of all ages engaged in their yoga practice. The unique style incorporates a lot of fun into each class, while encouraging kids to find their inner-peace.

Experience our interactive yoga asanas, yoga with songs, art, stories, games, musical instruments, puppets, visualization and relaxation techniques for a successful children’s yoga class.  Over 200 yoga poses and games!

Shari Vilchez-Blatt opened Karma Kids Yoga with only one thing in mind...children.
While teaching 18 kids classes a week, she learned a lot from the kids and realized that there was a need for more. More ideas, more poses, more balance, more games, more challenges, more fun. It was then that she began to brainstorm to develop and create new everything to keep kids engaged. By moving her body into different shapes and figures that her imagination led to, Shari was able to create more yoga fun in her classes. And the kids love it!

Shari has trained hundreds of adults around the world to teach yoga to children. Most have started their own children's yoga programs.
