Early Yoga Builds Body Awareness,
Emotional Tools & Confidence

Why Yoga Is a Perfect Fit for Littles

In the early years, children are just beginning to explore how their bodies move and how their emotions feel. Yoga offers a developmentally appropriate, play-based way to help them make sense of it all. Through songs, stories, and movement, young children can practice calming themselves with deep breaths, expressing emotions in safe ways, and learning what it feels like to be grounded and confident in their own bodies.

Each session gently weaves together simple yoga poses, sensory-friendly transitions, and playful themes that support early childhood milestones—like motor coordination, balance, communication, and self-awareness. It also gives little ones tools they can carry into daily life, like how to pause and breathe when they feel overwhelmed or excited.

Because our approach is inclusive and adaptive, yoga becomes a safe space for every child—regardless of learning style, energy level, or sensory needs. For neurodivergent and sensory-sensitive children, in particular, these sessions can be a soothing anchor in their day, supporting nervous system regulation in a joyful, non-clinical way.

By starting yoga early, we’re not just building strong bodies—we’re planting the seeds for emotional resilience, positive identity, and a lifelong connection to self-care.

🌟 Benefits of Kids Yoga in Daycares & Preschools:

✅ Helps children self-regulate big emotions through breath and movement
✅Builds physical coordination, balance, and motor planning
✅ Encourages social skills like cooperation, turn-taking, and empathy
✅ Supports sensory needs and calm transitions
✅ Aligns with early learning goals for SEL and physical development
✅ Offers inclusive experiences for all learning styles and abilities
✅ Adaptable for neurodivergent and trauma-affected students

“Kids yoga classes are fun, imaginative, and spark creativity, which preschoolers possess naturally. It enhances concentration and teaches kids an appreciation of the world we live in, and the people we connect with.”
— Carmel Mountain Preschool (2022). The Benefits of Yoga for Kids

Yoga That Fits Your Center’s Rhythm

Workshops, Classes,
& Custom Programs

Whether you're running a busy early learning center, a pediatric clinic, or a family-focused community hub, our yoga programs are designed to blend seamlessly into your existing rhythm. We offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs—whether that's a weekly session that children look forward to, a biweekly calm-down class, or a single themed workshop to support a special event or topic.

One-time workshops like “Yoga with Bears,” “Feelings & Flowers,” or “I Am a Rainbow” introduce movement and mindfulness through engaging stories and sensory-friendly activities. These sessions can easily enhance enrichment schedules, circle time, or seasonal events, offering both fun and meaningful takeaways.

Looking for something ongoing without adding to your staff’s workload? We can lead regular classes ourselves or train your team through simple, easy-to-follow session plans. Our staff-led options empower educators and care providers to integrate short movement and mindfulness breaks throughout the day, boosting consistency and accessibility.

No matter the format, every program is tailored to your space, age group, and goals—because yoga should support your center, not stress it.

Play-Based Yoga Designed for Early Learners

What Toddler Yoga Classes Look Like

Our early childhood yoga classes are thoughtfully crafted to align with the natural rhythms, curiosity, and energy levels of young children. Sessions typically run 20–30 minutes, striking the perfect balance between activity and calm to match short attention spans and keep kids engaged from start to finish.

Rooted in SEL, Designed for Real-Life Growth

What Kids Learn
Through Our Programs

Our curriculum is grounded in Social-Emotional Learning and child development best practices. Every class introduces simple, powerful tools for navigating emotions, building healthy relationships, and feeling confident in one’s body and mind.

Each program we offer is built around affirmations and age-appropriate themes like “I Am Brave” (confidence), “I Am Calm” (emotional regulation), “I Am Kind” (empathy and compassion), and “I Am Focused” (attention and self-control). These messages are repeated through yoga poses, group games, breathwork, visualizations, storytelling, and sharing circles—so kids learn by doing, not just listening.

Alongside movement and mindfulness, students explore:
🌬️ Breathing exercises for calming down
💬 Affirmations to build self-worth
👂 Mindful listening and communication skills
📚 SEL storytelling woven into class themes
🧠 Tools to handle test stress, big emotions, and more

​Whether it’s a 6-week series or a one-time class, our lessons leave a lasting impact.

Playful + Purposeful — kids stay engaged while learning real-life tools

Integrated SEL — we blend mindfulness, movement, and mental wellness

Theme-Based Learning — each series focuses on a core emotional or social strength

Supporting kids starts with one mindful step.
