Participating in Its Yoga kids Warrior's training was a deeply fulfilling experience for both my mind and body. Michelle is an authentic and passionate individual. Her unique combination of experience as a yogi and educator makes her training incredibly rich and meaningful. I thoroughly enjoyed both the in-person and online components of the training. I especially appreciated the flexibility of being able to follow the online classes at my own pace. Each session brought new knowledge, personal growth, and a sense of peace. Additionally, I took part in the Connected Classroom class with Michelle and my team of educators. By the end of the session, we had gained valuable tools to better support and manage our dynamic preschool classroom environment. If you are looking for a yoga training so you can be a yoga teacher for children. Dont look any further.. read more

Michelle is an incredible teacher - her passion for bringing mindful movement and yoga to kids of all ages is inspiring. IYK Warrior I training was one of the best yoga trainings I have been to. Her 20 years of building an incredible kids yoga program is evident in the way that she approaches teaching her training classes - such a master class. I look forward to continuing to learn from Michelle and IYK. read more

I really have to laugh, because the yoga teacher actually asked the tots: "Can you say tadasana?" Heck, even I can't say it! read more

We have sent our 4 year old Noah to a few sessions with Its Yoga Kids and our son loves it! Ms. Michelle and Ms. Lola take such good care and really plan a fun and full day with so much more than yoga! We appreciate how much thought goes into enriching these kids lives and teaching them about the world! read more

For almost 12 years, Michelle has offered classes and teacher training to our South of Market Child Care community.... Our parent interactive classes are the most fun to see parents with children practicing yoga in poses that children name-THE GORILLA? (lol), or crawling up on their parent's backs in synchronicity. I have always loved that she teaches NAMASTE sounds like "Mama stay" so the children have learned it soooo easily. She is kind, giving, and a professional who is also a mom. Probably explains her desire to teach the children so much! Can you say challenge? Don't worry, the children follow and do everything she asks them to try! When she can't come, Brooke comes to teach these classes with the children and they are consistent classes with good feelings from professional folks and we are blessed to have them working with us! read more

My son has been taking yoga classes with It's Yoga Kids for nearly 6 years now. First as an after-school enrichment class at his elementary school and now, during COVID, at the outdoor teen classes. Credit to Caitlyn and Michelle for making it fun for Kindergartners on up. It's been great for him. He's learned so much about the importance of strength, flexibility, and mindfulness in all his activities (he's way into soccer). As a tween going through these weird times, it's also been amazing for his mental health. I really think it's going to be a lifelong activity for him. And am so grateful to IYK for that. I wish other parents would take advantage of these great outdoor classes right now. Kids get so much out of it! read more

The family yoga class is such a perfect Sunday morning activity. We have been going on and off for a few years and we always have a wonderful time. Michelle creates the perfect balance of structure and fun that my kids really enjoy and learn from. The class feels like a nice little workout for the grownups too! read more

We love the family yoga class on Sunday mornings!! A class has to be really good for me to even think about hauling my cookies there at 10am on a Sunday but Miss Michelle works wonders with all the kids. My daughter is almost 2 now and we've been going for about 4 months. Its so much fun to watch her progress every week and come home singing the songs and doing om and of course being a cat and a cow all over the house. This class is engaging for kids but I also feel like I get something out of it which is something other parent/child yoga classes I've attended have lacked. Also parking is super easy for the Sunday morning class which is always a plus. read more

It's Yoga Kids - Yoga Near Me

I have been to a few Mommy & Baby Pilates classes. It is a beautiful studio, well appointed, and clean. People there are friendly. I took off one star because it doesn't have the warmth of Kari Marble's classes (she only teaches one prenatal class there). The class is one hour, not one and a half, and doesn't involve the baby at all. The good thing about one hour is that is easier to fit it in between baby's naps. The downside is that if your baby needs a feeding at some point during the class, you basically just paid for an expensive breastfeeding session. That being said, I think Esther is a great instructor. She focuses on the abs and the gluts/hips which is what we, young mummies, need terribly. I had one class with Rachel and swore I wouldn't go again. She isn't a mum and doesn't seem to know what getting back into shape means. She pushes the envelope too far for me (and my girlfriends agree with me). For example, she will ask to "Give me 20", meaning to do series of 20 push ups. I can't even do one real push up at this point. Moreover my arms and shoulders are getting so much use carrying a baby that I don't need any more stress on them. One final note, parking is now "by permit", which means you need to look for a metering box and pay one dollar for parking. If you somehow miss the sign or have the bad idea to bring your stuff to the studio before running back downstairs to pay your permit, you will have a nice $60 surprise on your windshield. read more

The teacher was wonderful, but I'd say that the class should be capped (with how many kids and parents), and they should go at the very minimum the full 30 minutes. Parents if your kid is crying like crazy the first part of class GO OUTSIDE, it's​ not really fair to all the calm kids, be mindful. Also, giving stamps doesn't​ count as part of the time, that should be after the 30minutes​s. read more

Michelle offered a wonderful and comprehensive teacher training program. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to bring the light of yoga to children. read more

I am back after more than two years for the toddler yoga class...and let me just say...love it. Do I still think it's expensive? Yes. But older and wiser now, I can say that most Bay Area children's activities are, and you just have to decide which ones are worth it. It's Yoga Kids offers something truly unique. I enjoyed Mommy and Me yoga classes when my son was a baby, but the options are very limited at the toddler stage. And understandably so...what is zen about a toddler? But Teacher Michelle (also the owner) does an incredible job managing these wee personalities in the studio. She creates a fun environment with a lot of freedom for the kids, while providing a fun and engaging format that holds their attention and encourages participation without being overbearing. The format repeats week after week, but it is not boring. Rather, it gives the children (and caregivers!) an opportunity to learn the poses and games, and gain more and more confidence to try them. After just three classes, my very active boy is excited to get on his mat and "DO YOGA!" Om shanti! read more

Michelle Wing is an awesome yoga teacher and business woman. She has been teaching Kids Yoga for 10 years in the Presidio. I graduated from her Yoga Teacher training 4 years ago and she has been an amazing mentor to me ever since. She is patient, kind and open-minded; everything a yoga teacher should embody. I would recommend It's Yoga Kids to any parent who wants to bond with their child in a fun way. The Teacher Training for ItsYoga Kids is also an incredible experience to deepen your understanding of anatomy, alignment and safety. Very excited to watch Michelle and Its Yoga Kids grow in 2017! read more

Alexander loves baby yoga. He's 11 weeks old, so I have to assume he likes it. I think his smiles every time I sing a song we've learned is proof. Or when I give him a little baby massage and he gives me the sweetest smile. We've learned yoga movement, songs and infant massage for babies. The promise to enrich Alexanders development and deepen our bond has been met. Parking is plenty. The price's are good. Michelle is a mother too, so she knows what she's doing. I've learned how to relax my son and during the most trying times I've learned how to calm him. read more

I love this research based yoga class! Michelle is a joy to do yoga with. I look forward to more yoga with her when her classes start up again later this summer! read more

I sweat about it! I have been taking my daughter here since she was 3 months old. She is now one year and has learned so much from these classes. She loves the songs, poses, and her time at yoga- she is even starting to do downward dog and tree pose without me! I wish we could go everyday together! read more

Today was the first day my toddler daughter and I tried Teacher Michelle's Sunday morning class and it was fantastic! I didn't know what to expect - would they teach strictly traditional yoga, or super watered down yoga? Neither. She created a class that was fun for the kids -- she often used Yoga's animal themes to make the poses more accessible-- plus parents could get some nice stretching and bonding with their kids. We'll definitely go back again soon! read more

We are so happy that we have such great kiddie resources in San Francisco. It's Yoga Kids is one of the best. I first brought my tyke here to Baby yoga and massage when he was about three months old, and now he's worked his way up to tree pose with the fabulous teacher Brooke. The toddler classes include the caregiver (great opportunity to get a little stretching in yourself) and are a nice introduction to yoga, teaching some basic poses, some songs, and some relaxation exercises, all in a very playful and cheery environment. We always have a great time, and I truly believe we are laying the groundwork for a future filled with flexibility and balance. We look forward to lots of fun-filled kid and family yoga classes with It's Yoga Kids! read more

I just started taking prenatal yoga classes here and am really enjoying it! I haven't done yoga in years and the classes have been great for easing me back into it. The teacher Elise is really warm and super helpful in terms of getting you into the right positions. I just love the space, really open and welcoming, and the fact that you can park right in front is truly amazing in our fair city! :-) read more

My daughter and I love going to Yoga here! This place was absolutely fantastic and it's what we needed to get out and about!

My son Meyer and I seemed lived at It's Yoga Kids from about 5-9 months of age. I loved the Mommy and baby yoga/pilates and he would play beside me, and he loved the baby yoga and massage. Michelle is so great and is very accommodating. Thank you Michelle for making the transition into mommy-hood much easier and sharing such a great way to bond with our babies. Meyer is now 16 months and will go and get lotion and bring it to me or his dad to massage him. (Spoiled I know :) I can't wait until he is old enough to start the toddler classes. I know he will enjoy them as well! read more

Our almost-5 year old participated in Its Yoga Kids summer camp and it was by far the best camp experience he had this summer. He absolutely LOVED every day of it, and I loved that he was coming home each day stronger and calmer than the day before. In addition to the great physical activity of the camp, there was definitely a calming, grounding effect. He'd wake up the next morning, excited to practice the poses from the day before. We often found ourselves balancing and turning upside down at 6:30 in the morning! I stayed a few extra minutes in the morning at drop-off, and I often arrived to pick-up early, and what I observed was exactly what I would hope to see at a yoga summer camp: teachers calmly leading the kids through activities and encouraging safe outdoor exploration, kids greeting each other with hugs and saying good-bye with "namaste", each child sharing his/her highs and lows from the day in group circle. It was our first experience with a camp for all ages, and my son learned a lot from the interaction with the 10-11 year olds too. Two thumbs up. We will definitely be back for more! read more

Not the easiest location to get to, and studio was quite cold. Also instructor arrived late, so we started late. Also overpriced for what the actual class was. Children need fun and creativity, not just verbal instruction and yelling. Will not return. read more

I took my three-month old to baby yoga and we had a lot of fun. You don't really do anything that you can't do at home, but there was something really fun for both of us about being in a group of moms and dads with their little babies. The space is beautiful and the owner/instructor is very friendly and knowledgeable. I only gave three stars becasue the cost of each session is a little ridiculous. One drop-in class is $18, which is more than I pay for an adult class that lasts 90 minutes. Baby yoga is only 45 minutes (which is just the right amount of time for the babies) but the first 15 minutes is going around the circle for introductions, then about 15 minutes of "yoga," which is stretching and moving your baby's joints, and 15 minutes of infant massage (which the babies seem to love!). I really enjoyed the class but feel that it is just too expensive for what is offered. read more

Why does yelp keep flagging posts? These are my real thoughts! Real experiences! I can not recommend it's yoga kids for kids or adults. I do not feel the business meets the needs of it's clients. It is not a kid friendly area or space. Take your kids to the beach instead. read more

My son, who rebuffs most of my efforts to sign him up for summer camps was coaxed into attending this one last week, even though he has no previous experience with yoga. He loved it so much that he is asking to go back to the next session in August. I believe there were three instructors with 12 children. I was surprised to see five boys in the group, ranging from 5-10. years old My son got along great with the rest of the group. They did yoga for an hour in the morning and spent most of the remaining time outside in the Presidio. He had great energy when I picked him up in the afternoons and the instructors all seemed very enthusiastic and caring. He was a huge fan! I can't recommend it enough. read more

How do I give zero stars? My 3yr old really wanted to try yoga so I dragged her here from Marin and hyped up the music and the class (not really knowing much but what I saw on the website). It wa supposed to be at 10 and at 10:08 there was still no Michelle. I asked the front desk if we were in the wrong place and they said we were in the correct plane and gave me Michelle's number. She didn't answer. Now my toddler was losing her patience of waiting. Something seemed off. After talking to the desk it seems this is a common practice by Michelle to not show up for her classes and they commonly have customers who drove from the east bay or Marin only to find that Michelle doesn't show up. I'm extremely annoyed and disappointed. I expected more from a business owner. I understand life gets in the way, a kid gets sick maybe, or another excuse, but post it on your website if you're not coming!! So ridiculous. Maybe you'd have more people show up if they knew they could count on the teacher being there. Completely unacceptable. Especially for a class that is geared to 1-3 yr olds. read more

What a gem this yoga studio is! The space is beautiful, the teachers all excellent, and so much fun for the little ones! I highly recommend checking this place out, either with your kids, or for the adult classes. read more

Gorgeous studio, fantastic instructors and ownership...I can't say enough positive things about IT'S YOGA KIDS. I feel inspired by the vision on a regular basis, and leave a better person everytime. Kids and parents alike are lucky to have such a unique resource here to provide City families with healthy, fun and accessible yoga activities for all ages. read more
