About Kids' Yoga & Wellness Programs
Why I Do What I Do
I honestly think yoga for kids is more than just cute poses. It’s about helping them find a bit of calm inside, a place to breathe and feel good about themselves. I’m not chasing perfect form here - I just want them to discover their own way to balance, focus, and be kind.
How My Classes Work
I keep things light and playful - no pressure, no competition. Kids explore movement through stories, games, art, and music. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about feeling present and having fun. Sessions mix yoga asanas, simple breathwork (pranayama), story time, and creative stuff like music and mindful art. We even do chanting for a bit of shanti (peace).
What I Offer
- Holistic summer camp for kids - full-on immersion into mindful movement, art, martial arts, and more.
- Regular weekly classes for ages 4 to 9 - gentle, engaging, and fun way to build a yoga habit.
- Yoga and meditation workshops for children - we team up with other experts, blending mindfulness with subjects like math, music, or science.
Everyone’s Welcome
I believe every child should feel safe and included here. I run special dance movement therapy sessions for neurodivergent children, and our shala (studio) is open to all. Kids help each other, learn together, and grow as a community.
My Hope
At the end of the day, I want kids to leave with a sense of inner peace and the tools to handle life’s ups and downs, even if it’s just remembering to pause and breathe.

My Story
Namaste. Back in 2006, I just wanted to get healthier, but yoga pulled me deeper. Under my guru Sh. Sharath Jois, Ashtanga became more than poses - it became my way. I wandered the Himalayas, trekked to Mt. Shivling, learned from Buddhist teachers, even studied Compassion at Stanford. Our shala, Ashtanga Yoga Sadhna, grew from a tiny idea to a real home. We’re not chasing perfection here, just showing up, learning, sharing. Grateful for this community, and for every teacher who’s lit my way.
My Work
Holistic Yoga & Mindfulness Classes - We offer Mysore style Ashtanga, gentle Hatha, Pranayama, daily meditation, kids yoga summer camp, kirtan, and more.
A Real Community, Not Just a Studio - Our shala is a kula - a home, not a gym. We honor each person’s journey, breath, and rhythm.
Yoga for All Bodies and Minds - Women-only yoga classes, fun kids programs, and special neurodivergent yoga workshops make sure everyone feels welcome.
Practice that Goes Deep - We focus on asana, pranayama, meditation, and discipline. Show up, move, breathe, repeat. Growth comes slowly.
Living Yoga Off the Mat - We do pilgrimages, solstice sadhanas, and raise funds for tribal kids. Yoga is more than exercise – it’s a way to live.
