In each class we explore ways to have FUN and to express ourselves via Art and Yoga. The location is inspiring and elemental, located in beautiful Malibu in an ocean side, Art Studio. Almost everyday we have the joy of creating, transforming and seeing dolphins dancing in the surf and pelicans diving into the depths of Mama Ocean.

Every blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers: “Grow, grow.”

At times children and parents come in fatigued and they leave balanced, rejuvenated, full joy, and empowered all through the amazing practice of Yoga and Art.” CoachArt Kids improves the quality of life for children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses and their siblings by providing free lessons in the arts and athletics.
