Connect

We all need a community of peers from whom we can draw inspiration and support. NKYC is an opportunity to meet amazing colleagues and make true friends 

Connection and community is an essential ingredient in youth yoga. The National Kids Yoga Conference seeks to build connection and community among youth yoga educators.
