I was the deeply feeling kid. Anger outbursts. Anxiety attacks. Sensitive to sounds, scratchy tags, seams in socks. It didn't take much to send me into a meltdown.
I grew up in Israel, surrounded by anxiety and stress and war for as long as I can remember. The world around me was dysregulated, and so was I. No one knew how to help me regulate my feelings.
When I was 21, I discovered yoga, breathwork, and meditation for the first time. And something shifted. I felt peace inside myself — real, tangible peace — for the first time in my life.
Two things clicked.
First: no child should have to wait until they're an adult to learn these tools. Second: if every child learned emotional regulation early, we could raise a generation of peaceful minds. And peaceful minds create a peaceful world.
That conviction led me to study psychology and neuroscience, and then to spend over a decade teaching yoga and mindfulness to young children.
When I started working with toddlers, I realized nothing in the yoga world was built for them. So I built what didn't exist using music, movement, mindfulness, and sensory play. I called it the Yoga Play Kit. And it worked. For thousands of kids in my classes, and for my own children.
A month postpartum with my second child, I knew it was time to bring this to more families. Every pocket of time between feeding and naps went into building Mini Yoga Club and the Yoga Play Kit.
This is the tool I wish I'd had as a child. The one I use every day as a mom.
If you've got a sensitive, strong-willed, big-feelings kid, or you just want your child to have the advantage of a regulated nervous system wired in early — I made this for you.
