With over 18 years of extensive and ongoing teaching experience within her studio and within public schools, Kelly Wood, owner of Karuna Yoga, has developed a style of Children's Yoga that teaches to the heart. Hi Yoga teaches postures, meditation and breathing within the context of stories and mindfulness. Children learn why the practice helps them at home, with friends, and in school. Hi Yoga encourages focus within the flood of ongoing modern life distractions. More importantly, Hi Yoga teaches the power of living from the heart. The Hi Yoga Teacher Training is one of the first Kids Yoga Teacher Training courses accredited by Yoga Alliance.
Kelly Wood is a pioneer in bringing Kids Yoga & Mindfulness classes to public schools. Kelly began teaching Kids Yoga in 2002 with more than 100 graduates having taken the Hi Yoga Teacher Training since 2008. Kelly has also pioneered Parents & Kids Yoga. Her extensive teaching and practice that spans more than 20 years provides the foundation for classes and trainings that are rooted in traditional practice. For additional reviews and comments from prior graduates of Hi Yoga and Karuna Yoga, please email Kelly: kwood@karunayoga.net.

Because Kelly has taught over 220,000 children of diverse cultural backgrounds, she is skilled in relating yoga and meditation to kids. Kelly’s commitment to children remains unwavering.

The Hi Yoga Teacher Training is suited for all levels, including parents, social workers and anyone called to serve our youth in order to help our collective future. This is a great course for parents and school teachers to learn how to manage their own stress, a necessity for soothing children. This is also an excellent course for those thinking about having a family. This course will spark your creativity and playfulness and allow you to contribute positive change within your community.

Our children need help developing the skills to regulate attention and process emotions. As we teach children how to center and ground themselves, they have the opportunity to be pillars of strength for others, to help others. You can help grow our children into the leaders, innovators, teachers and artists of tomorrow. Please join us. http://kellywoodyoga.com/hi-yoga/hi-yoga-teacher-training

Her many years of experience teaching yoga and teaching yoga to children are an asset and value to her program.
