How are you feeling? 👍👎 At IYK, we ask the kids in all our classes to help them manage emotions — up or down — sometimes in the middle. 😉

October 10th marks World Mental Health Day, a global reminder that mental well-being is just as vital as physical health—especially for children and teens. As we face a growing youth mental health crisis, it’s more important than ever to equip kids with tools that help them thrive emotionally, physically, and socially.

📊 The Mental Health Crisis in Numbers

Recent studies reveal alarming trends:

* Anxiety and depression rates among children have surged. In the U.S., feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness increased by 40% over the past decade.
* Su***de is now the second leading cause of death for youth ages 12–24.
* During the pandemic, moderate-to-severe depression rose from 10.5% to 15.1% among 11–13-year-olds, with girls and Hispanic/Latinx youth most affected.

These numbers reflect more than statistics—they represent real children struggling to cope with stress, isolation, and uncertainty.

“Yoga is cradle to grave.” That’s what Larry Schultz, Founder of It’s Yoga always said.

🪄 The proof is in the practice!

Get on your mat. It will change your life! 🚀

At IYK®, our system is effective for ALL ages and abilities. It’s senior friendly because many grandparents come with the grandkids.

😍 It bridges generational gaps and makes life more joyful!



Charlotte Chopin, who is 102 years old, has taught yoga in Léré, a French village in the Loire region, since 1982.

Chopin makes no claims to be a wellness guru, nor does she seem to feel a burning desire to evangelize about her own approach to life. But people keep asking for her secrets to aging well.

🌓 Some days are dark. Some days are light. And that’s okay. 🌫️☀️

On World Mental Health Day, we honor every feeling, every moment, and every child learning to navigate their inner world.

Yoga helps kids build the tools they need to thrive—by calming their minds, moving their bodies, and connecting to their breath. It teaches them that emotions are like weather: they pass, they change, and they’re all part of the journey.

Through movement, mindfulness, and magic, kids learn to feel better and do better—one breath at a time. 🧘‍♂️💛

💪 October 6th marks National Coaches Day, a time to honor the mentors who shape not just athletes—but confident, resilient human beings. (Check out this post that brought me to tears! This year, we join Positive Coaching Alliance in saying Thank You, Coach for the countless hours, heart, and wisdom poured into every practice, pep talk, and game day.

💙 Coaches do more than teach skills—they build character. And now, many are expanding their toolkit by becoming Kids Yoga Certified, recognizing that athletic performance is deeply tied to mental focus, emotional regulation, and physical safety.

⚡️ Here’s why yoga is becoming a game-changer for student athletes: 🔗 Link in bio.

Woohoo! 📣 Let’s Go! California!!!

AND…more athletic coaches are getting IYK® Certified to bring the value of yoga to youth sports.

Benefits like:

1️⃣ Reducing injuries 💪 because it’s more fun to play!

2️⃣ Mental strength 🧠 learning to lose well (there is a way) is as important as winning!

3️⃣ Play with heart ❤️ to love the game (and all its benefits) longer!

Because…

* Youth tend to report sport burnout or drop out around 2 to 3 years after committing to organized sports.

* The AAP notes that about 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by age 13.

* In one study, many children quit by age ~11, often after less than three full seasons.

Yes! We love our partnership to breathe, bend and benefit from the physical and mental strength, flexibility and balance of yoga in youth sports! 🏀 💪💙🙌💜✨

The game slows down when you show up with intention.

At EMA, the most important skill we teach isn’t a crossover or a jump shot, it’s paying attention to your breath and using positive visualization.

Master your breath, master your presence 🏀

😬 A recent New York Times piece highlighted a key insight: self-control isn’t about gritting your teeth—it’s a skill that can be nurtured. 

When kids learn to pause, breathe, and redirect their attention, they strengthen the very muscles of willpower. Yoga is one of the simplest, most effective ways to help kids practice this skill daily.

Through mindful breathing, balancing poses, and relaxation practices, yoga helps children:

* Pause before reacting when emotions run high.

* Build focus by paying attention to breath and body.

* Strengthen resilience when facing challenges at school or home.

These skills translate into better classroom behavior, stronger learning outcomes, and healthier relationships.

Seriously?! 🌟 The CUTENESS that happens in kids and family yoga is off the charts (every time)!

We’ve been teaching the IYK® Signature system for 20 years since 2005. Our studio was a NO PHONE ZONE. 🚫 That means the cuteness was only captured in our bodies, minds and hearts.

🌳 Now that we’re outside (because a tech company moved into our beautiful bamboo floor studio) during Covid, we’ve been able to capture some of the FUN!

We teach yoga everyday at schools, in studios, outdoors, in sports and in your home. 🏠

You can increase your impact (and income) in your area too. We’ll show you how. The complete Yoga Alliance accredited IYK® Warrior Training starts January 30, 2026.
