Vids4Kids
What is it?
It is our innovative online approach towards providing youth ages 4-18 with the tools they need to live a healthy lifestyle. The Vids4Kids program delivers an engagingly instructional new way to stay active. In addition to links for online yoga instruction, recipe videos and nutritional bars, sites also receive handouts and fun games about nutrition.
Since kids are dealing with extra layers of stress, especially during the past few years, the opportunity to feel calm helps with improving focus in their schoolwork, creates better sleeping patterns and often results in more manageable moods. Our programs have been effective in helping youth who suffer from anxiety and attention disorders.

What our Partners are Saying:
I wanted to update you on how classes are going here at Marley Boys and Girls Club. I'm surprised by how much my middle schoolers enjoy meditation and yoga. Those that were having trouble at the start are improving every session. It's fulfilling to see a child that's usually stressed and antsy be able to wind down, relax, and benefit from these classes.
Thank you!

The Opportunities of Vids4Kids
|
Calmness Even 7 minutes of online yoga video instruction has proven to inspire calmness, self-awareness and focus. A limited amount of viewing at a site leaders discretion goes a long way in creating a calm environment for everyone. Students stay focused and tuned in to the online instruction feeling as one student said, "I just feel better". |
|
Self-Confidence Most youth approach wellness practices from a novice perspective. Yet, with the guidance of the instructional vids and the support of the OFH instructors, students begin to feel a sense of confidence. The basic principles that are shared amidst the physical practice of the vids are patience, flexibility, strength and relaxation. So while kids are learning how to do yoga, they are also learning how to include these positive principles in their daily lives. |
|
|
Nutrition As an additional part of the Vids4Kids program, free nutritional bars or juices are given to the students at each site. On the occasional site instructor visits, students learn about healthy eating choices through a robust dialogue. They foster the understanding of healthy choices like fresh juices over sodas or nutritional bars over candy bars. (And they love it!:) |
|
EASY PROCESS OFH welcomes partnerships with youth organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs and YMCA's. The goal is to reach as many kids as possible with the knowledge and experience of wellness. The program is streamlined in a way that is easy and effective for sites to receive access to the vids, set up a monthly site instructor, receive nutritional supplements and even attend our online Wellness for Youth Facilitator Course, developed by Rana Kirkland, National Director of Advancement and Certified Yoga Instructor at OFH, all for FREE |
|
WELLNESS FACILITATOR TRAINING OFH seeks to create a team of site leaders who can help facilitate wellness for youth. This is an extra added free training bonus that is offered to anyone who wants to enhance their knowledge of sharing yoga, nutrition and meditation with youth ages 4-18. It's online and everyone receives an OFH certificate of completion at the end of the 8 hour course.
