❝ The beauty of Kind Karma® Yoga is that its openness comes from the heart;

Vibrational Academy of Sound Therapy (VAST) has partnered with Kind Karma® Yoga to promote and support a holistic and high vibrational way of living for children. Through the collaboration, the "Joy of Gong & Sound Resonance" sound program was created for children. The sound workshop includes innovative playing techniques that promote the mind-body connection, the channeling of emotions to encourage productivity, the importance of breathwork, and the advantage of stepping out of one's comfort zone. Besides plenty of instrument play time, the workshop entails having children becoming involved through mindful movement such as gentle Kind Karma® Kids Yoga Postures.
