In-School Yoga & Mindfulness Classes

Classes For Pre-School Through Grade 12

The benefits that come with a weekly yoga and mindfulness class are numerous and are often apparent within a few weeks of beginning our program. As yoga and mindfulness educators we relish the shifts and transformations that so readily surface in the yoga classroom. Among our favorites are the improved physical and emotional strength and balance that students discover through yoga, the improved ability to focus their attention, and the newfound ability to self-regulate their behavior through their breath.

Yoga Child offers three simple ways to bring our programs to your school. Explore them below, or learn more about all that makes our Registered Yoga Alliance program so successful by reading our Facts and FAQ’s.

Elementary students will enjoy the same great education-based curriculum as younger students, but can begin to appreciate a deeper exploration of mindfulness and meditation, a broader spectrum of yoga poses, and more creativity with yoga journaling. As students move through their elementary years and develop greater strength and balance, so too will they begin to explore more introspective themes.

Middle and high school students are able to learn practical life skills through the use of introspective yoga and mindfulness themes. Students will discover what it means to establish balance on and off the mat, create strength, build endurance, to cultivate empathy and compassion towards themselves and others. They will come to understand firsthand the relationship between stress and attention as their ability to focus improves and their stress levels decline. Class begins with an interactive discussion of the day’s theme followed by breathing and mindfulness techniques, asana instruction, guided rest, and literature or journaling.
