Budding Yogis is the only yoga studio in DC that is dedicated solely to the practice of kids yoga. We have been teaching yoga to hundreds of kids since 2003.

At Budding Yogis we provide a non-competitive environment in which kids find joy and peace. We combine the highest quality teaching of age-appropriate yoga with the simple practice of mindfulness to stretch and strengthen kids’ bodies while calming and centering their minds.

At Budding Yogis we are nurturing kids and teens so they can develop to their fullest physical and mental health and well-being.

History

Following the events of September 11, 2001, Annie Mahon knew she had a role to play in bringing a sense of inner peace to children and families in Washington, DC. After sharing the practices of mindfulness, conflict resolution, and yoga with children through the DC public schools for two years, Annie wanted to locate her programs in a safe, welcoming space, and so founded Budding Yogis on Northampton Street in 2003. Soon after, Linda Feldman joined and together they created a place where kids could relax, practice yoga, and just be – and where everyone would be welcome, regardless of age, physical condition, or previous knowledge about yoga.
