That’s why we offer engaging yoga classes designed to empower kids, promoting their physical and emotional well-being.

We Are Little Zen Yogis

Yoga Classes For Children

At Little Zen Yogis, we specialize in teaching children powerful techniques to calm their minds, sharpen their focus, and discover inner peace. Through mindfulness and relaxation yoga exercises, we provide a serene and nurturing environment where children can unwind and let go of stress.

Our approach is nothing short of playful and imaginative! We infuse the practice with storytelling, interactive games, enchanting music, and props that ignite children’s creativity and immerse them in an enjoyable yoga experience.

Diversity is at the heart of what we do. We’ve crafted a safe and inclusive space where all children are warmly welcomed, regardless of their abilities, backgrounds, or life experiences. We wholeheartedly encourage self-expression and celebrate every individual’s unique qualities.

Join us on this wonderful journey of mindfulness, relaxation, and self-discovery. Let’s create a harmonious haven for your child to flourish and find joy in the present moment.

The Mental Health of our Children is at risk. We need to take action NOW!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mental health is a vital aspect of children’s overall well-being, encompassing their emotional, mental, and behavioral states, influencing how they think, feel, and act. Disturbingly, mental disorders among children can lead to distress and difficulties in their daily lives, impacting learning, behavior, and emotional regulation. We recognize the urgency of this situation and are committed to making a positive change.

Meet The Owner & Instructor

Hi, I am Ashantia

I am a passionate advocate for the well-being of youth. My journey began with a deep-rooted desire to empower young minds, instilling in them the values of health and wellness from an early age. As a child, I experienced the power of sports, which ignited my love for an active lifestyle. I ran track, which taught me essential lessons about discipline and perseverance and gave me a sense of belonging.

When I became a mom, my perspective on wellness expanded. It inspired me to seek moments of stillness and mindfulness for both myself and my child as we grow alongside each other.

This understanding motivated me to embark on a mission to create yoga programs for children that encourage physical activity and incorporate mindfulness and calm practices. By providing children with opportunities to explore their inner selves and develop a sense of tranquility, we can help them become more confident, resilient, and compassionate individuals.
