# Child Yoga Studios This New York Studio Exclusively Teaches Yoga for Kids By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-08-26 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-for-kids References: [patch](http://patch.com/new-york/newcity/new-city-small-business-spotlight-shine-yoga-kids) & [shineyogakids](http://www.shineyogakids.com/) It's not uncommon to find studios that will offer [specialty yoga for kids classes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-streaks), but SHINE Yoga Kids devotes its entire space to sharing the benefits of this practice with youth. SHINE Yoga Kids is a local business in New York that makes a point to get kids to connect with their own inner light, as well as see the light in others. The studio creates a [non-competitive environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lsdr) to teach kids poses through games, stories, crafts and exercises in mindfulness. To emphasize this, each class concludes with relaxation. Although classes generally run as multi-week series with all the essential yoga props provided for kids, the studio also hosts private lessons, [birthday parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sit-still-kids) and Girl Scout groups. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Specialty Yoga for Kids:** Opportunity for yoga studios to specialize in classes designed for children, offering a unique and targeted experience for young practitioners. - **Non-competitive Yoga Environment:** Creating a space that promotes mindfulness, relaxation, and personal growth through yoga, catering to individuals seeking a more gentle and supportive approach to their practice. - **Yoga for Events and Groups:** Expanding yoga offerings to include private lessons, birthday parties, and group sessions, tapping into the demand for alternative and holistic activities for special occasions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Yoga Studios:** Promoting child-focused yoga classes and creating a niche market to attract families and children, providing a dedicated space for young practitioners to engage with yoga. - **Children's Wellness:** Introducing yoga as a form of physical activity and mindfulness practice for children, contributing to the growing field of children's wellness and promoting holistic well-being. - **Event Planning and Entertainment:** Offering yoga-themed parties and group sessions as a unique and engaging entertainment option for events and gatherings, providing a refreshing and holistic experience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transformational Yoga Activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circusyoga.md) - [Yoga-Focused Retreat Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-cuadrau.md) - [Community-Focused Yoga Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nook-yoga.md) - [Calming Candlelit Pilates Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaybird-yorkville.md) - [Scientifically Informed Yoga Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mills-yoga.md) - [Children-Friendly Jiu-Jitsu Academies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiujitsu-gym.md) - [Tranquil Wellness Studio Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-of-the-soul.md) - [Chic Contemporary Fitness Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-fitness-studio.md) - [Kid-Focused Mindful Activity Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coloring-activity-book.md)
