Yoga pioneer, producer & publisher Marita Gardner-Anopol, is perhaps her best advertisement for the wonders of this ancient art. The youthful-looking yogini credits her daily yoga practice with her vibrant health and unflagging energy as she approaches her sixth decade. She created “YOGA 4 KIDS”™ in 1995, to bring the benefits of this ancient art to children.  Marita is one of the founders of the movement for school yoga. She is a founding board member for the International Association of School Yoga & Mindfulness. After relocating to Texas, she partnered with LONE STAR COLLEGE, where she designed & instituted the yoga curriculum for the kinesiology department and has been a faculty member since 2005.
Marita developed and implemented YOGA 4 TOTS in pre schools and YOGA 4 TEENS in high schools. Through her teaching, she created the Yoga 4 Kids® board game/card games and produced the instructional DVD Yoga 4 Kids with Marita Gardner-Anopol.
In addition, she created and teaches the accredited YOGA IN SCHOOL for CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT©, a workshop to empower public school teachers to manage the classroom through yoga.  Please Click Here to view the KPRC Channel 2 News clip.
