Yoga and fresh ‘phreezing’ increase athletic performance by teaching kids precision through coordination of body placement on the symbols. The focus required amplifies listening skills, technical motor skills, and spatial awareness. In addition, emphasis placed on taking steady breaths while holding still postures builds strength, balance, flexibility, and most importantly provides a gateway to the meditative state where athletes learn to “enter the zone.” Whether it’s ballet, basketball, baseball, gymnastic, all child athletes can benefit from the practice. Phresh Kids are upping the standards, and the score boards!

Giving girls an early education on fitness and nutrition empowers them and prepares them for challenges they meet in the world regarding self image.

A healthy and active lifestyle is their best ammo to fight eating disorders, weight-loss, drugs, bullying, and the pressure to be thin in our society. Feeling great and having a healthy sense of self-esteem starts on the mat with yoga, movement, and breath.

Creating another generation of strong girls in mind, body, and spirit. Phresh Kids teaches the importance of self love, and life force energy – our inner Chi.
