“Think good thoughts, speak kind words, feel love, be love, and give love.” That is the mantra of Tabay Atkins, America’s youngest yoga instructor who is teaching his practice and vegan cooking classes all over the world - and he can’t even vote!
A high-achiever, Tabay, 17, began his journey as a young boy when he witnessed the debilitating effects of his mother’s struggle with cancer.
He watched as his mother revived her energy and gained strength post-chemo treatments by incorporating yoga into her daily routine. Tabay says he knew right there and then that he had found his dharma, his purpose in life. In 2021, Tabay became a Nike ambassador for their new yoga branch. The impressive young yogi completed four certifications and 500 hours of training just one week shy of his 11th birthday. His career has since soared. To date, Tabay has had the pleasure of teaching a yoga class of more than 350 participants at a retreat with his mentor, the father of wellness, Deepak Chopra. He has also taught kid celebrities like North West, the daughter of rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
