Kids Yoga United is an organization I founded recently in St. Louis. Our mission is to spread yoga to children throughout the St. Louis area regardless of their ability to pay. We have a Foundations program which is a 6 week program for the schools. Throughout the sessions, we teach themed yoga classes with lessons on mindfulness, self-confidence, kindness, and tolerance.
