LOS ANGELES and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Surf Yoga, Animal Yoga and Dino Yoga are just some of the videos now available on the free early learning app Khan Academy Kids, thanks to a new partnership with Alo Gives.

"We're delighted to partner with Alo Gives to provide free yoga lessons that encourage mindfulness and wellbeing."
In each Alo Gives video, yoga teachers guide children through a healthy routine for mind and body. The videos are designed to teach kids to quiet their minds, find calm when challenged, mute negativity and gain focus so that they can learn more easily.
