SKY Kids is the Art of Living's program for children — games, team activities, breathing techniques, and practical tools that support calm, focus, confidence, and emotional steadiness.
Maximum 15 children · Certified instructor · 5550 Fraser St, Vancouver
August afternoons are long, camps are done, and everyone's patience is thin.
Big feelings, restless nights, meltdowns over small things — and "calm down" never works.
A bright kid who won't raise their hand, and a world that never gets to see what you see.
Five minutes without a device feels impossible — and fighting it just makes it worse.
The toughest audience for any kids' program is the kids — and kids give this one rave reviews. Here's what fills the four afternoons:
The heart of the curriculum: six keys to success kids learn — and famously refuse to reveal to parents. "You have to come find out."
Simple, powerful SKY-family breathing techniques, adapted for kids — a real tool for fear, worry, and big feelings they can use anywhere, forever.
Movement, laughter, and cooperative play. Built for kids who "can't sit still" — no lotus position required.
A small, safe group where quiet kids find their voice and every kid gets heard.
Kids discover what a settled mind feels like — most for the first time. Parents tell us the sleep changes first.
Making a new friend each day, random acts of kindness, leadership and teamwork — the life skills report cards never measure.
Peer-reviewed research on four continents shows SKY breathing significantly lowers cortisol — the body's main stress hormone — with brainwave changes linked to calm, alert focus.
University researchers (UCLA, Deakin and others) studying SKY youth programs found less impulsive behavior and bullying, and stronger confidence, self-management, and friendships.
SKY Kids is the Art of Living Foundation's children's program — refined over four decades, covered by TIME, PBS, and Forbes, delivered here by a certified instructor.
Research conducted on SKY breathing and SKY youth programs; SKY Kids teaches age-adapted techniques from the same family. Educational program — not medical advice or a treatment for any condition.
Kids leave with a 15–20 minute daily practice they own — the head start that carries into September and beyond: steadier mornings, calmer evenings, focus that shows up in their schoolwork.
Graduates gather with the teacher once a month to practice together — free, forever. The results don't fade, because the practice doesn't stop.
Perfect — this program was built for exactly that kid. It's games, movement, team challenges, and short, doable practices. No one is asked to sit like a statue.
More than okay. The small group and talking circles are designed to gently draw kids out — many parents enrol for exactly this reason, and watching a quiet kid find their voice is our favourite part.
No. The techniques are secular breathing and mindfulness practices. Families of every background and belief attend Art of Living programs worldwide.
That's the whole design. Kids leave with a 15–20 minute daily toolkit, and graduates are invited to free monthly practice circles with the teacher — so it becomes a habit, not a memory.

Ah — that's the one question we can't answer. Kids learn them on the course, and by long tradition they get to keep the secret. Ask your kid on Thursday. (They probably still won't tell you.)
A water bottle and comfy clothes. Everything else is provided.
The four days build on each other, so full attendance matters. If your dates are tricky, message us — a real parent answers, and we'll figure it out together.
