MEET the fabulous Miss Jenna of Kidding Around Yoga and Hooping!
We've known and loved Miss Jenna since she was my daughter's pre-k teacher at Becker Elementary. My daughter (and us!) adored her the minute they met and we've had the pleasure of seeing her in the school halls through 4th grade. You can see her smile a mile away and feel her warmth before you get those great hugs she gives. Then she was gone!
Come to find out she created KAYAH so she could combine her love of teaching kids with yoga and hooping! She. Is. An. Amazing. Hooper. WOW!
I'm thrilled that we've reconnected through Macaroni Kid. Both Macaroni Kid and KAYAH are about all things family-friendly, so it makes perfect sense to team up to help families #findyourfamilyfun!
Miss Jenna is an uplifting Children's Yoga Teacher with a specialty in creating a soothing and fun space for children to develop physically, emotionally and socially. Her teaching style is gentle and full of love and smiles. She believes that children perform best when they have a sense of freedom and choice. Having begun teaching children fourteen years ago in the public school system, she quickly witnessed the serenity that Yoga and Mindfulness bring to children of all ages. She spent seven years teaching Early Childhood where she implemented Conscious Discipline by Becky Bailey into her teaching repertoire. Her mission is to impact the lives of thousands of children in the Austin Area by talking about themes of rich topics like Gratitude, Self-Love, Acts of Kindness, and Meditation.
Every Kidding Around Yoga Class with Miss Jenna is not your typical Yoga class. She offers a complete, age-appropriate Yoga practice including breath instruction, relaxation techniques, stretching, and strengthening poses, all while using fun-filled music, games, and imagination. Her secret is playfulness, keeping the children motivated, excited, and moving. KAYAH Classes and Camps get children singing, dancing, skipping, marching, jogging, shaking, laughing, hopping, limbo-ing, and storytelling, ALL while practicing Yoga.

Jenna sums it up perfectly - "My mission is to teach children how to become more mindful in their daily life through Meditation and Yoga. Yoga signifies the union of body, mind and spirit. It brings us closer in touch to our needs and desires so we can live a fuller life. This is the seed that I plan to plant for generations to come."
