Yoga & Movement
Poses, stretching and energetic movement that meet children where they are.
Our Approach
More than yoga. A whole-child approach to wellness.
We use yoga and movement, mindfulness, breathing, games, imaginative play and cultural affirmation to help children strengthen the skills they need both inside and outside the classroom.
How we move
Every tool in the kit.
Afro Yogi Kids blends many practices — never just one — because children are whole people, not a single skill to train.
Mindfulness
Age-appropriate practices for slowing down, paying attention and being present.
Breathing
Simple breathing techniques children can actually remember and use anywhere.
Games & Challenges
Cooperative games and movement challenges that bring the energy and the joy.
Imaginative Play
Stories, imagination and creative play that make movement feel like adventure.
Cultural Affirmation
Experiences that reflect, celebrate and affirm the identities of the children we serve.
Confidence-Building
Activities designed to help children experience their own capability and progress.
Critical Thinking
Problem-solving and decision-making woven through games and movement.
Social-Emotional Growth
Recognizing emotions, cooperation, encouragement and celebrating one another.
Leadership & Expression
Opportunities to lead, speak up and discover a confident sense of self.
Age-Appropriate Meditation
Short, accessible relaxation and reflection that meets children developmentally.
Positive Identity
Spaces where children see themselves reflected, valued and celebrated.
Designed for the whole child
Intentionally designed. Not just movement for movement's sake.
Every experience is built to support the whole child — physically, socially, emotionally and mentally. Movement is the hook. The development is the point.
Children don't just burn energy. They practice noticing, choosing, cooperating, breathing, trying and celebrating — skills they carry long after the class ends.

Culture & belonging
Created with Black children at heart.
Our culturally responsive approach centers the experiences and development of Black children — creating spaces where they can see themselves reflected, celebrated and encouraged — while welcoming opportunities to bring meaningful movement and mindfulness to diverse groups of children.
