Beach Kids Yoga is a South Bay–based mindful movement education company dedicated to helping children build strong bodies, steady minds, and confident hearts.

Rooted in Hermosa Beach and growing across the South Bay of Los Angeles, Beach Kids Yoga partners with schools, cities, and community organizations to bring high-quality yoga and social-emotional learning programs directly to children — in parks, classrooms, after-school programs, and seasonal camps.

Our programs blend movement, mindfulness, creative play, and nature-based exploration in a way that feels joyful, grounded, and developmentally appropriate. Children strengthen coordination, balance, and body awareness while also building emotional regulation, teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence.

We believe children deserve access to the same powerful mind-body tools adults rely on — tools that support focus, stress management, healthy relationships, and inner strength.

Each Beach Kids Yoga session is guided by thoughtful curriculum themes and adaptable teaching practices. We meet children where they are each day. If energy is high, we channel it into creative movement and cooperative games. If the group needs calm, we slow down with breathwork, stretching, and grounding practices. Our goal is always the same: every child leaves feeling seen, successful, and supported.

Founded by Erin MacDonald

Beach Kids Yoga was founded by Hermosa Beach local Erin MacDonald — a mother, educator, and movement specialist with nearly two decades of teaching experience.

Erin holds a BFA in Dance and advanced certifications including ERYT-500, RCYT, YACEP, and KRI. She has trained extensively in yoga, mindfulness, dance, and pre- and post-natal movement. What began as a small local offering has grown into a community-rooted program designed to support children’s physical and emotional well-being at scale.

Erin now focuses on developing curriculum, training instructors, and expanding partnerships — ensuring Beach Kids Yoga programs remain high-quality, heart-centered, and sustainable as they grow.

If you’re a parent, school administrator, or community partner seeking a meaningful and engaging wellness program for children, we’d love to connect.
