Our trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness sessions are thoughtfully designed to ease anxiety, support emotional regulation, and create a sense of safety and empowerment for young patients.
Blending calming breathwork with gentle, therapeutic movement, we incorporate elements of physical and occupational therapy to support mobility, coordination, and body awareness.
Whether a child is navigating a short hospital stay, long-term treatment, or rehabilitation, our approach offers a soothing, engaging way to foster healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Healing Through Movement
How Pediatric Yoga Supports the Whole Child
In medical settings, children are often surrounded by unfamiliar routines, heightened emotions, and reduced autonomy. Yoga and mindfulness offer a gentle, low-stimulation way to help kids reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and process the emotional weight of their experiences—without adding to the clinical atmosphere. These tools provide comfort, build resilience, and empower young patients with simple, accessible ways to feel calm and in control.
Our trauma-informed sessions are carefully adapted to fit a range of physical and emotional needs, whether a child is recovering from surgery, managing chronic illness, or receiving mental health support. We work in collaboration with your team—including therapists, child life specialists, and nursing staff—to complement existing treatment plans with movement, breathwork, and imaginative play that feel safe, soothing, and empowering.

unique emotional and physical needs
Gentle, Age-Appropriate Yoga for All Pediatric Stages

Whether a child is newly navigating the hospital setting or already part of a long-term care plan, we create experiences that are safe, comforting, and engaging for their specific stage of growth.
Tiny Tools. Lasting Impact.
What Kids Learn
Through Our Programs
Every session is thoughtfully designed to leave kids with simple, powerful tools they can carry with them—into treatment rooms, therapy sessions, and the challenges of daily life. We blend gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques to help children feel safe, strong, and supported in their bodies.
Kids are guided through calming practices that regulate their nervous systems, help them express emotions, and build internal resilience. We use age-appropriate language, creative visuals, and affirming themes like “I Am Brave” or “My Body is Strong” to inspire confidence and emotional growth.
Through repetition and positive experiences, children begin to associate these tools with relief, safety, and self-trust. Whether a child is recovering from surgery, navigating chronic illness, or managing emotional distress, these small moments of calm can have a big ripple effect.
Each session is adapted to meet kids exactly where they are—physically, emotionally, and developmentally. We honor the unique needs of each child while planting seeds of lifelong coping skills and inner strength.
Each session includes a blend of:
✅ Deep breathing and guided imagery
✅ Gentle movement for nervous system regulation
✅ Positive affirmations for resilience and self-worth
✅ Body scan techniques and grounding exercises
✅ Yoga themes like "I Am Brave", "I Am Calm", and "My Body is Strong"
All sessions are adapted for energy level, ability, and comfort.
Supporting kids starts with one mindful step.
