Kidding Around Yoga
By Karima Juma
Kidding Around Yoga (KAY) is a program based in the USA and taught all over the world by certified KAY Instructors.
KAY is a very well-rounded system that brings in all the elements of yoga – breathing, posture and philosophy, specifically designed to expose and share this ancient practice with children aged 2 to 12 years old.
The elements of Yoga are taught in a creative fun way, using songs, stories and art so children can relate to them and be able to make meaningful connections to continue to practice them outside the yoga class.
Statistics say that the principles of Yoga encourage kids to develop self-discipline, perseverance and patience and, therefore, children who practice Yoga regularly are more likely to be calm and resilient and have the ability to focus better. These are essential tools for a good academic performance and to succeed in life.
