I started using yoga with children in 1986 in elementary schools in the LA Unified Schools from South Central to Westwood to Long Beach, CA. At that time I had just started my serious practice of yoga, although I took my first class in 1972 at my alma mater Rutgers College in New Brunswick NJ.
At this point in time, we have reached millions of children around the world with our educational yoga tools and products and introduced them to yoga at an early age. Our seminars have grown from 3 hour lectures to 1 day Tastes to Intensive yearlong trainings. We have Certified 170 instructors across the US and around the world. Since 2006 we have graduated stellar teachers in new locales such as Russia, Germany, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Greece, Bermuda and Myanmar. If there aren’t any YogaKids Teacher Trainers in your area, please consider a new life path and join us. Educational enhancement, fitness fun and feeling great are available to you and the children in your hearts and lives. Breathe life into learning and join us. Hope to meet you soon. I will be in Keene, NH this week and at the Grand Beach Inn, New Buffalo, Michigan Nov. 30-Dec. 2. Come enjoy learning and
this fall. Namaste, Marsha Wenig and all of our YogaKids Family

800 Yogis in Times Square. Now that gives us something to Om about.
Thanks for this wonderful idea and testimonial to the rebirth of yoga in the 21st century.
Yes, we can make it happen. Envision individually. Create collectively. Outdoor, free yoga classes in major cities and small towns around the globe.
Ponder peace today. We can make it happen!

YogaKids Tools for Schools was so well received in Canada this past weekend. We trained teachers from Nova Scotia to Vancouver and here’s what they said:
“It was very informative- love the lesson plans already prepared and the Om @ Home sheets concept.” - Sandra Collins, Teacher
“Outstanding! Great, practical info for teachers and parents. Balance is important to everyone-kids need tools to help them stay balanced to take on the world with self confidence and peace!” – Mary Lauton, Teacher
Thanks so much to Conference Founder, Ruth Dargan and her family team for making this event a great success.
Special thanks to our newly Certified YogaKids Teachers who selflessly assisted me in Toronto: Amanda McFadyen (amanda.mcfadyen@rogers.com), Tamatha Traynor (tamatha.traynor@yogakids.com), and Catherine Lesage (catherine.lesage@yogakids.com), who will be translating our YogaKids book into French. Stay tuned for more details.
Most importantly the YogaKids themselves. Here we are (from left, click for a larger photo): Amanda, me, Maia, Sara and Zoey and Catherine - happy, healthy and bright as we walk through this amazing city after a fabulous breakfast at Cora’s.
