Testimonials
My daughter calls herself a yogi. She even asked me if we could do yoga together in the mornings, while
everyone else is asleep. She is 6. Her enthusiasm is a testament to Bija's inspiring teachings. I see how this
filters into my daughter's daily life. Lauren at Bija is doing a wonderful thing, inspiring our little ones with her
teaching, introducing them to the wonders of yoga in such a way that the effects cannot but ripple into their
daily lives. Mia, mom to Shyama age 6
I just wanted to say how great I thought Sunday was. I am just so pleased and impressed with the way you
have done things. I am so pleased that you do go into yogic philosophy and I feel so aligned with what you
are trying to bring to the children. You are offering a wonderful programme that is also open so one can
bring things to it. I am excited to have more of an opportunity to share these things with children other than
my own.... I look forward to having more time with you. Brogan, Teacher Training Graduate
Thank you so much for teaching my son, Henry, yoga this year. It thrills me to no end that he can do
'downward facing dog' and 'cat/cow' (or meow/moo). I especially liked that you use props such as feathers
and straws to teach the kids - creativity is so important when educating others.

I have loved taking my 2.5 year old daughter to Bija family yoga. We have been going for a few months and
we both love the class. Everything from doing downward dog together to holding each other's hands in tree
pose, to having her "massage" my back during relaxation. It is both a wonderful way for her to learn some
yoga as well as a great way for us to interact. My favorite part might be her putting her hands together and
saying "namaste" at random times... Emma, mom to Lucia
Thank you for such a wonderful yoga session at Rabia and Ava's birthday party. All of the guests really
enjoyed it and Rabia loved it. Being teachers, we know how difficult it can be to hold the attention of
teenagers and toddlers alike. You have great timing and a gift for working dynamically with children. Thank
you for starting our 2 year olds third year of life with such grace. Shahzia, mom to Rabia
Participating in the Bija Kids Yoga Teacher Training has literally transformed my teaching practice, giving me
the tools I needed to transition into teaching children's yoga full time. The uniquely crafted Bija curriculum
outlines a comprehensive, safe and truly fun yoga class series in which students can continuously build on
skills from previous lessons, and the class format has enough flexibility that I can modify activities to both
serve my students' needs and express my own strengths and interests as a teacher. I feel incredibly well
prepared, and find each class to be filled with surprises and delights, learning from my students at least as
much as they learn from me. It is a great joy to have found a livelihood that supports and folds seamlessly
into my yoga practice, making the yoga a part of my everyday life. Kate, Bija Kids Training Graduate
