ā€¼ļøIntroducing ā€œdouble levitating plankā€ (on the stairs)! When we teach privates at your place, we get to use your environment as part of the experience.

While we’re having fun learning the High5 Habits, we’re also co-creating new experiences not found in traditional yoga.

These boisterous brothers invented this challenging pose and several others that require strength, flexibility, focus and balance. It’s so fun!

The next challenge will be to include Mom & Dad in this one! šŸ’œ

The stress isĀ real! Between work, kids’ schedules, and the endless stream of distressing news on our screens, it’s no wonder we’re all feeling it. Exposure to violent or traumatic images — especially when we don’t expect them — can trigger early stress symptoms like poor sleep and mood swings.

Even parents are showing signs: the internet is calling itĀ ā€œCougar Pubertyā€Ā for moms inĀ perimenopauseĀ andĀ IMS (Irritable Male Syndrome)Ā for dads. And let’s not forget the academic and social pressures our kids face daily.

So what’s the answer to all this stress?Ā Yoga.

If you can’t make it to class, try these proven, portable practices:

🧘 Resonance Breathing — your ultimate anti-stress hack.

ā˜„ļøĀ The Stress Springboard — channel the meltdown into meaning.

šŸ‘ Bonus! Plus, 11 things therapists wish every kid knew.

How are you feeling? šŸ‘šŸ‘Ž At IYK, we ask the kids in all our classes to help them manage emotions — up or down — sometimes in the middle. šŸ˜‰

October 10th marks World Mental Health Day, a global reminder that mental well-being is just as vital as physical health—especially for children and teens. As we face a growing youth mental health crisis, it’s more important than ever to equip kids with tools that help them thrive emotionally, physically, and socially.

šŸ“Š The Mental Health Crisis in Numbers

Recent studies reveal alarming trends:

* Anxiety and depression rates among children have surged. In the U.S., feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness increased by 40% over the past decade.
* Su***de is now the second leading cause of death for youth ages 12–24.
* During the pandemic, moderate-to-severe depression rose from 10.5% to 15.1% among 11–13-year-olds, with girls and Hispanic/Latinx youth most affected.

These numbers reflect more than statistics—they represent real children struggling to cope with stress, isolation, and uncertainty.

Charlotte Chopin, who is 102 years old, has taught yoga in Léré, a French village in the Loire region, since 1982.

Chopin makes no claims to be a wellness guru, nor does she seem to feel a burning desire to evangelize about her own approach to life. But people keep asking for her secrets to aging well.

šŸŒ“ Some days are dark. Some days are light. And that’s okay. šŸŒ«ļøā˜€ļø

On World Mental Health Day, we honor every feeling, every moment, and every child learning to navigate their inner world.

Yoga helps kids build the tools they need to thrive—by calming their minds, moving their bodies, and connecting to their breath. It teaches them that emotions are like weather: they pass, they change, and they’re all part of the journey.

Through movement, mindfulness, and magic, kids learn to feel better and do better—one breath at a time. šŸ§˜ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ’›

šŸ’Ŗ October 6th marksĀ National Coaches Day, a time to honor the mentors who shape not just athletes—but confident, resilient human beings. (Check out this post that brought me to tears! This year, we join Positive Coaching Alliance in saying Thank You, Coach for the countless hours, heart, and wisdom poured into every practice, pep talk, and game day.

šŸ’™ Coaches do more than teach skills—they build character. And now, many are expanding their toolkit by becomingĀ Kids Yoga Certified, recognizing that athletic performance is deeply tied to mental focus, emotional regulation, and physical safety.

Woohoo! šŸ“£ Let’s Go! California!!!

AND…more athletic coaches are getting IYKĀ® Certified to bring the value of yoga to youth sports.

Benefits like:

1ļøāƒ£ Reducing injuries šŸ’Ŗ because it’s more fun to play!

2ļøāƒ£ Mental strength 🧠 learning to lose well (there is a way) is as important as winning!

3ļøāƒ£ Play with heart ā¤ļø to love the game (and all its benefits) longer!

Because…

* Youth tend to report sport burnout or drop out around 2 to 3 years after committing to organized sports.

* The AAP notes that about 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by age 13.

* In one study, many children quit by age ~11, often after less than three full seasons.

BREAKING: California has trained more than 25,000 coaches in positive youth coaching practices through the California Coaches Challenge.

This is monumental in our work to change the culture of youth sports and improve outcomes for our young athletes.
