Created by Kira Karmazin, KiraGrace yoga apparel offers something to yogi’s that many other brands don’t. That is…incredibly sexy, open back-style tops for all women.   I particularly liked the spaghetti straps/open back style of the Yoga Halter for handstands and arm balancing work.

As for the bottoms, I loved the Yoga Capri pants with the ruching on the side legs.  It’s just a nice little touch of sexy for a pretty standard style of yoga pants.

I would definitely recommend KiraGrace for any of you looking for new, unique and exciting yoga apparel.  The quality of the is equivalent or better than many other yoga brands out there and it’s always nice to support up and coming brands that have been created and designed by women for women (and moms).

One other cool thing about KiraGrace that I’ve never seen before is their styling sizing: For all Goddesses, there are the curvy, athletic and regular build women out there, and they have created a line just for you.  Venus fits you curvier ones, Diana fits the Athletic types, and Victoria fits the natural goddess.

P.S.  KiraGrace provided me with samples for purposes of review.  The opinions above are my own.

Pictured above is the Nico Skirt, on sale for $38-58.  This skirt goes great over your workout pants and is designed to take you from the workout to “playout” in style! The Nico Skirt it could easily function as a cover-up at the beach as well! All the meSheeky skirts utilize a combination of bamboo, cotton and spandex that make for a really soft skirt that fits well.

I originally reviewed the Kiki Skirt in 2009 and have enjoyed wearing it both over my capri pants as well as alone as a skirt.  I also particularly love the Odette Skirt and the Trixie Tank!

meSheeky can be purchased online here or possibly in your local yoga studio.

FTC-A big thank you to meSheeky for designing such stylish yoga apparel and sending me out in style! {The skirt was free and these opinions are my own.}

Very helpful flash card style yoga cards that can be used in several different ways!


My students love these stories read aloud- then they love them more when they get to act them out with yoga postures!



The Yoga Kids has been an excellent resource for me as it comes complete with sequences, stories to read and music to listen to! I seriously carry these three books/cards around all the time when I am teaching yoga- I can always find something new in them!

Do your kids do yoga? What do they like best about it?

Some of my best days of teaching, has involved nothing but yoga.  And, sometimes yoga with both the parent and the child has been even more rewarding for me…

Things I’ve learned Teaching Yoga to Kids!

I am a yoga teacher.  Daily, I teach an average of 3 hours of yoga to children under the age of 12.  Every child at my school gets yoga.  I am lucky and I believe the children are lucky, too.  This is not the norm in California, nor is it the norm for schools in general.  On average, in our town, children get physical education in the public schools, once per week and it is NOT yoga!  And, this might change again as well! Budget cuts, etc..You’ve heard the news, you know.

I believe children should have many many opportunities to experience both yoga and outside play!  There is much to be learned about themselves and others through body knowledge!



Knowing both sides of the coin in this situation {as an ex-public school teacher}, it is going to take a MOUNTAIN of effort to even get yoga in schools. Test scores versus yoga?! Test scores will win, however, if the pressure for more physical education came from parents, teachers, administration and the community, together we might MOVE that mountain!

Today, in the middle of a yoga class of 15 primary children, I was reminded of something incredibly simple and vital to my mental sanity. One breathe. Doesn’t matter what pose, if I only focus on the inhale 1, 2, 3 and the exhale 1, 2, 3, I can feel peace or calmness. Awareness of the class, the mat, and the children, but, still completely calm- one moment at a time.

Admittadly, I am not yet a meditator of any sort- even though I am thoroughly educated on the benefits…but, just the power of stopping and taking a breathe can be so soothing.  Yoga is about breathe and as a teacher, I have tended to focus on the sequence but, today, maybe I can offer that bit of calmness to a student?

Try it. I will be.
