Kids Yoga Is Fun — But Here’s What’s Happening Underneath
|
Understanding Energy & the Science Behind the Play Hi Reader, Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing how I use play, movement, props and imagination to keep children engaged in yoga. But behind the fun, there’s something equally important: Learning to read the energy of the child — and the class. If you already teach Kids Yoga, or are thinking about it, teaching isn’t simply about planning fun poses, breathing exercises, games and movement. Before choosing an activity, I often ask: What state is the child in right now? A child arriving with lots of energy may not yet be ready to sit, listen or focus. Sometimes they need movement before stillness. That’s why I encourage teachers to think: Observe the state → Choose with intention → Guide from there. Kids Yoga can absolutely be playful and engaging — but the activities we choose should also be purposeful, age-appropriate and responsive to the child in front of us. One principle I come back to again and again: Meet the child where they are, and guide them from there. 💜This is a big part of what we explore in my 95-Hour Kids Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher Training — not only what to teach, but why, when and how to teach it. Thinking about becoming a Kids Yoga Teacher?Our Yoga Alliance–accredited 95-Hour Kids Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher Training prepares you to teach children aged 2–18 through practical, engaging and age-appropriate approaches.

Hi Reader, When I first started teaching Kids Yoga, I thought a good class meant children were following along, staying on their mats and doing what I had planned. Over time, I realised that some of my biggest learning came from the things I gradually stopped doing. 1. I stopped expecting stillness immediately Children may come into class excited, tired, distracted or full of energy. Instead of expecting them to suddenly sit still and focus, I learnt to meet the energy first — often through...
Hi Reader, If you love yoga and enjoy working with children, you may wonder: Do I really need a Kids Yoga Teacher Training? For me, the answer is yes — because teaching children is very different from teaching adults. It’s not just about simplifying yoga poses or making the class fun. You need to understand: How to help children focus How to connect with them so they feel ready to participate How children learn at different ages How to keep them engaged without over-instructing How to use...
Hi, If you're teaching yoga and mindfulness to children (or really, teaching anything to children!), one of the biggest questions is: "How do I keep children engaged?"The answer isn't asking children to sit still or pay attention. It's making learning engaging.One of the biggest mindset shifts I share in my teacher trainings is this: I don't expect children to fit into yoga.I adapt yoga to the way children naturally learn. And one of the best ways children learn......is through play. One of...
