About Kids & Family Yoga
Why I Teach Kids & Family Yoga
Kids don’t sit still, and honestly, I don’t expect them to. I use stories, games, and laughter to help children find their own calm. My sessions are all about playful movement, imagination, and letting kids be themselves. Yoga isn’t just for grown-ups - it’s a way for little ones to build strength, focus, and happiness that sticks with them.
What Happens in My Classes
- For ages 7-12, I run regular classes packed with yoga games for children, animal poses, and breathing exercises like Bubble Breaths.
- We use stories and music to teach mindfulness, and every session ends with gentle relaxation. Kids leave feeling balanced and a bit more chill.
- Parent-child yoga bonding is a big part of what I do. These partner sessions are a chance for you and your child to connect, move, and laugh together. We do partner poses, listen to each other, and just enjoy being present.
- Camps and workshops pop up through the year, mixing yoga with art, music, and games. These are great for making friends and having fun outside the usual routine.
What Kids & Families Get
- Stronger bodies and better coordination, all through play.
- Mindful movement for families, helping everyone manage stress and big feelings.
- Confidence and self-awareness, without any pressure to compete.
- A closer family bond, especially in our partner sessions.

My Story
Hey, I’m Aarthi, founder of Padma Yoga Academy. Used to be all about the corporate grind, HR, meetings - but life had other plans. After a tough divorce, single parenting, and a few stumbles in the wellness world, I found my anchor in yoga and healing. Not just yoga, though - after an injury, I added strength training, sound healing, mandala art. Healing for me is messy, honest, sometimes awkward, always real. That’s what I bring to every class.
