Hello, my name is Maria Yakkey, CYKT, RYT, I
was first introduced to YogaKids in December of 2004. I immediatley thought, "What a wonderful way to teach children
the skills necessary to cope in this fast paced society". That began my journey with YogaKids International. Now,
after intensive training I am both a YogaKids Certified Facilitator and a YogaKids Trainer as well as a YogaKids Mentor.
In May of 2008, after 8 months of study, I completed Into This World
Adult Yoga Teacher Training program. I continue to work towards my 500 hour adult yoga certification.

YogaKids History
YogaKids founder, Marsha Wenig developed the YogaKids Program in 1991
to make yoga fun for children. Marsha intergrated learning with yoga, as she wanted to "engage their brains and
hearts as well as their minds and bodies". The YogaKids approach to teaching uses Howard Gardner's theory of the multiple
intelligences. This approach ensures that all learning styles as engaged.
