“As cliche as it sounds, the KAY training I took has changed my life, as well as my family. I have learned invaluable information to bring back to my classroom that not only the kids love but that makes my job WAY MORE FUN!
I am stopped everywhere I go and get asked if I am the yoga lady and the children want to know if they can come to one of my classes. Once you see a child’s face as they float out of your door, you will be a believer!!!”

"I’m a musician and personal trainer- wanted this training to add to a new class I created for kids called Mind Body Music that focuses on mindfulness, yoga, dance, music and emotional regulation. I also volunteer with the family program at a local meditation center where I take my two girls (4 and 5 yrs old). I would love to share some of the things I learn there as well!"
