YoKi Yoga's mission is to provide the space and grace for children to be themselves, connect with their minds, bodies and hearts through Yoga, Creative Movement and Mindful Awareness while playing with the collaborative effort of parents, teachers and administrators.

What is YoKi Yoga?
YoKi Yoga is a systemized program designed to foster optimal health, well-being, learning readiness, and social emotional development, utilizing the techniques of yoga, creative movement and mindful awareness. The philosophy is based on the view that each child has multiple intelligences and deserves a chance to develop their full potential for happiness, strength, coordination, and the ability to relate themselves and others in a healthy way.

Why YoKi Yoga?
Our work is scientifically, spiritually and evidence based. It matters that people be their best selves; learn how to manage stress and life challenges.
YoKi Yoga is a top-down and bottom-up approach that fosters healthy environments inside and outside the classroom. The World evolving depends on each child and that children can create this world in a healthy, sustainable way.

YoKi Yoga is committed to support and empower the world's teachers, parents, children and caregivers with health, wellness and yoga based educational programs. We provide quality trainings, workshops and programming to create the experience of well-being and peace. We believe peace is possible, and that the children of today will be the ones to lead us into a new paradigm tomorrow.

Throughout the year we explore body, mind, breath, self and commu-
nity.  All classes can be integrated with the curriculum emphasis at that time.

Each class explores a theme in many ways and is designed to inspire young students to awareness through hands on learning and creative expression, and includes: theme, exploration, application , integration and self-expres-
sion.
YoKi Yoga believe, expand, nurture, connect.
