Kids Yoga & School Yoga in Long Grove, Illinois

Where Play Meets Mindfulness

Yoga with children is pure joy—it brings out the kid in me and turns every session into a playful, engaging experience. My journey into kids’ yoga began with my own healing through yoga, which inspired me to get certified so I could share this gift with my own boys. What started as a personal mission soon expanded into a passion that has shaped my teaching for over 15 years.

I began teaching kids’ yoga at my home studio, and later brought it to park districts, summer camps at Chinmaya Mission Chicago, and eventually into schools. I was fortunate to lead school-wide yoga units during PE at Country meadows elementary school in Long Grove IL for 3 consecutive years from 2016-2018 and after-school yoga programs in Kildeer country side school district and Hawthorn district 73, making yoga accessible and fun for children of all ages.

With a focus on fun, partner yoga, and creative themes , I introduce children to yoga’s deeper aspects—breathwork, meditation, and guided visualizations—without losing the playfulness. Through storytelling, yoga games, gong meditation, mandala art, yoga movement, and mindfulness, I’ve created over 15 years of cherished memories sharing yoga with children.

Bring kids yoga to your school or program!

Heartfelt Reflections From Students

  • "PTO was looking for a fun, healthy, and creative program to complement our physical education curriculum. We reached out to Komal who was a well-known expert in the area. Komal went above and beyond to design a thoughtful and well-structured yoga curriculum for our students."

Kids Yoga is Returning!

After a temporary relocation to California, my kids’ yoga classes were on pause for a few years, but I’m excited to bring them back to Chicago! If you’re interested in enrolling your child, please reach out to me. Once I gather enough interest, I will schedule a new batch of classes. I can’t wait to share the joy of yoga with kids again!
