YogaYAMA
Illuminating character & connection
YogaYAMA Classes…
help children strengthen the social & emotional skills necessary for positive relationships and a healthy, joyful life.
The YogaYAMA Method
We use movement, storytelling, and conversation to teach emotional resilience, character, and connection. Each class features a story that incorporates character-building concepts from yoga philosophy.
Benefits include:
- Reduced anxiety
- Increased emotional resilience
- Improved communication
- Physical fitness & fun
- Healthier relationships
- More focus & confidence
Classes
YogaYAMA classes use story and movement to explore the benefits of living in alignment with the yamas & niyamas. Students learn yoga poses, breathwork, and meditation techniques to stay clear-minded and open-hearted, even when difficult situations and strong emotions arise.

The yamas and niyamas
Yoga philosophy for kids?
At the foundation of all yoga practice are 10 yoga principles. They are the five yamas (universal, pro-social values) and the five niyamas (personal skills essential for emotional resilience). These 2,000-year-old insights into the human condition continue to assist our personal development to this day.
These principles (including honesty and generosity) are simple enough for children to embrace (in fact, they often come naturally!). Our stories show how following these principles lead to a healthier sense of self and better relationships with others.

The Yamas & Niyamas:
A Path Toward Connection
Why learn about the yamas and niyamas?
They teach integrity – the alignment of what we think, say, and do.
Yamas such as kindness (ahimsa) and honesty (satya) are examples of acting with integrity. They are how we naturally behave when we have a healthy sense of self.
When integrity is established, trust follows. Trust is the foundation of deep, fulfilling interpersonal connections.
