History

Established in 1991.

YogaKids International, Inc., based in New Buffalo, MI, is the pioneer and leading provider of yoga to children around the world. Founded in 1991 by Marsha Wenig, the YogaKids brand now has a number of award-​winning products available: DVDs, CDs, games, books, shirts, yoga mats, and more. Unlike yoga for adults, the YogaKids program specifically addresses the needs and capabilities of children.

The first YogaKids DVD revolutionized the way yoga is taught to children and created a demand for the founders’ unique skills. As a result, YogaKids became the first yoga-​for-​children training company, offering workshops to educators, parents, and child-​focused professionals. YogaKids has developed a preeminent certification process creating a global network of highly-​trained facilitators who bring classes, programs, and trainings to communities and schools.
