I developed this
website because Yoga has taken me a long way during my short life. I am
only 10 years old. Yoga has helped me with my flexibility. It helps
me calm down when I am stressed or angry. If I feel bad, it can help me feel good.
If you have had problems in your childhood (I did) it can help you get past
them. Best of all, Yoga has helped me learn to focus and get better
grades (it's really good for ADHD and ADD).
I hope the Yoga for Kidz website can help your kids too!
I do it with my mom, and sometimes my sister watches too, but she's not very
flexible. It's fun to do it together, with a friend or relative, with a
teacher, or just to do alone.
I have a newsletter! I will write to you each week and tell
you one of my favorite poses, something yoga has helped me learn, my favorite
yoga music, my favorite yoga product, or something else that has to do with yoga.
I'm also going to put something fun in every issue, because yoga is about having
fun and learning new stuff, right? I
hope you sign up for the newsletter so you can start getting it! And you
know the best part? It's FREE! (My mom likes that
part) The sign
up form is right under this paragraph.
My Mission
My mission is to help as many kids as I can through this website and the Yoga
for Kidz program. I have dealt with a lot of things in my life, and some of
them were kind of bad. Yoga helped me to get through them.
It also helped me with my ADHD, at home and at school. Learning to be
calm (which feels really good) has helped me to be calmer during the day.
I like to be flexible, relax, and not get in so much trouble at school, and now
I'm on the A/B honor roll, and going for the Principal's Honor Roll (straight
A's) in January.
I know that kids don't always like to listen to their teachers
or parents, and it is hard to figure out how to get kids to pay attention
sometimes. I want to help you find ways to get them to try it. If
you do it right, they will love it! They'll have fun and want to do it
more.
I am constantly trying to learn more about yoga, and my goal is
to take the class that will certify me as a teacher for kids. I will
always remember that I am helping people help kids, and will do stuff to be a
good role model for them!
In keeping with my mission statement, $3 from each and every
video purchased will be donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. I am so
lucky to be healthy, and I am happy every day that I can do the things I want to
do. Not everyone is that lucky. Help me reach my goal of $300 in
donations to St. Jude's by Valentine's Day. I'll post my progress online and let
you know how we're doing!
From Yoga Bear's Mom
Have you seen all the recent research indicating that yoga is great for
children? They are beginning to see differences in kids with ADHD, those
who have been abused, children with anxiety and stress disorders. Have you
wondered if any of this is for real?
Well, it is. And you don't have to start out going to fancy yoga
studios to learn it for or with your children. Nor do you have to be super
flexible to benefit from yoga. You can learn some basic yoga moves and
techniques through this website.
You can join the newsletter and weekly you'll receive tips, poses and
benefits from learning yoga. The tips will come from a child to you and
your child or students. They will be shared in ways that your child can understand, in
fact enjoy.
This site and its newsletter are designed for kids, their
parents, teachers and their students. People from all walks of life are
realizing the value in this newsletter. School teachers, yoga teachers,
parents, administrators, the list goes on.
So, check out this newsletter today, no strings attached. And the best
part about this newsletter? It doesn't use any paper, so it's healthy for
our environment! ;-)
