Yoga for Happy Kids / Director - Owner
2000 - Present
Yoga for Happy Kids was establish as a means to assist children, parents, teachers, and educators to instill healthy habits in young children as a foundation for positive development, putting stop to the rapidly spreading epidemic of obesity, type II diabetes, undesirable behaviors, and all other by-products thereof.

A critical analysis of existing theory and research related to components of children's positive development, Csikszentmihalyi's "Flow" model of optimal experience and Yoga practice paradigm revealed common key ingredients that set the foundation for Yoga-based programs. The goal of the programs is to onset positive children's development that enhances child's realistic sense of self, self-perception of abilities and competencies, induces intrinsic interest and motivation, and fosters self-knowledge and self-control.

I am a child psychologist specializing in the study of the psychological and physiological effects Yoga practice has on child's development. My research, along with the support of vast scientific literature unequivocally shows that the benefits of implementing Yoga at the early age are real and should not be ignored. Findings show that even a short practice of this ancient art can induce poise and focus that can further stimulate cognitive awareness, information retention, and the overall ability to learn. It is therefore essential for parents and teachers working together in making Yoga practice a child’s daily routine, which in turn will strengthen child’s Yoga experience and its full benefits.

I would like to invite you to make each year your "Year Toward Children's Positive Development" - a time period in which you can make the changes that will make a real difference in your children's level of health, vitality, well-being as well as academic achievement. I would like to introduce you to a powerful Yoga for Happy Kids programs that can do just that.

The Yoga for Happy Kids programs were designed with respect to the whole child. Daily Yoga practice helps children to gain personal insight into their physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. The programs offer guidance and tools necessary to transform this awareness into a personal compass guiding them in times of need as well as in their decision-making processes throughout their lives.

The next generation will be the result of our influence and work. To make this work enjoyable, to help our classrooms, homes, and communities the Yoga-based programs provide a wholistic approach to Yoga as a way of life rather than a once a week activity. Yoga asanas and meditation technique included in the programs is an excellent method to help children to relax, and enable them to find their quiet place within. When children engage in daily Yoga practice, they set a life-long foundation for their well being.

DEC is an educational entity that facilitates a journey to Self-discovery. The inspiring, yet challenging blend of techniques with mind-body connection and with a touch of yoga fosters the true Self and enhances confidence in one's innate abilities, talents, energies, boundless capabilities, and believing in infinite possibilities to manifest one's dreams by applying these self-discoveries to the use of one's talents in meaningful ways that serve both oneself and others.

The stimulating lectures, seminars, workshops, programs, and private sessions provide the most comfortable way to identify your strength, amplifying it, nurturing it, and guide you to lead your life around it as a buffer against your weaknesses and storms of life. Your strongest qualities that you own and are best at help you find niches in which you can best live out these strengths. This approach motivates participants to identify their dream, vision, and mission in life and through well defined self-knowledge, talents, and skills to act upon it. It encourages mindfulness, self-induced thinking, and creativity into a field of infinite possibilities.

These teachings link the knowing with the actually doing. The aim is to cultivate self-respect, inner security, and to develop a commitment to one's own talents. The strategies facilitate a vision of life at its best. They lead to a view of life as a creative expression of love in action that remains aware of the pitfalls and challenges in life. The teaching philosophy lies in being happy with oneself, with the way one's life unfolds while doing work one loves to experience joyful and fulfilling life alas "Flow" in life.
