Kids yoga offers so much more than just movement. It helps physical, social and emotional development.

And it’s fun!

Here’s a little glimpse into how kids yoga gently supports your child’s growing body, busy mind, and big emotions.

What are the benefits of kids yoga?

Yoga is such a beneficial and fun thing to introduce to your little one! Here are some of the amazing benefits of yoga for kids…

Yoga is fun!

All of my classes are built around storytelling, so for your child it simply feels like an adventure. We might go on a bear hunt, float through space, or explore the jungle—moving, stretching and breathing our way through the story together. It’s imaginative, engaging, and most importantly… really good fun.

Yoga is educational

I might seem like a care-free idiot jumping up and down like a frog for no apparent reason, but as a qualified teacher, I have actually planned every class with the Early Years curriculum in mind! That means while your child is playing and exploring, they’re also building the foundations for strong literacy, numeracy, physical development, language skills, emotional wellbeing and social skills—without even realising it.

Yoga helps kids’ social development

In our sessions, children naturally begin to learn how to be part of a group—sharing, taking turns, and supporting each other in a relaxed, pressure-free way. There’s no expectation to “get it right,” which helps even the shyest children feel comfortable joining in.

Yoga helps kids (and parents!) deal with tantrums

For little ones who express their feelings through tears, noise, or big emotional outbursts (so, all of them, give or take?!), I gently introduce simple breathing techniques that help calm their bodies and minds. Over time, these small tools can really help children pause, regulate, and cope better with those overwhelming moments—both in class and at home.

Yoga gently supports children in understanding and managing their emotions—things like frustration, jealousy, or those big “no!” moments—by giving them simple tools to use their breath and voice in a positive way.

Yoga helps’ children’s physical development

Physically, yoga supports your child’s growing body in such a natural, playful way. Through stretching, balancing, crawling, climbing and moving in different ways, they’re building strength, coordination and body awareness—all while being completely immersed in the story.

As they learn different poses and movements, children become more aware of their bodies and the space around them, which can really support their overall development.

Yoga builds confidence

Yoga also helps children build confidence and self-esteem. There’s lots of opportunity to explore, try things out, and develop skills at their own pace. It’s all about small steps, little wins, and celebrating what their bodies can do. I build affirmations like “I am brave,” and “I can try,” into my stories, to help them build a positive image of themselves. Why? This supports them to explore their world with curiosity and enjoyment!

Yoga encourages creativity and expression

Of course, creativity is at the heart of every class. Because when children are engaged in play and imagination, that’s when the real magic (and learning) happens.

Kids yoga is for every child

Kids yoga is completely non-competitive and inclusive. Every child is welcome, every child can join in in their own way, and every child is enough just as they are.

Whether you absolutely love yoga, or are a complete beginner, I cannot wait to welcome you and your child to one of my kids’ yoga classes soon and start sharing all of the amazing benefits of yoga with you and your family!

FAQs

What age is kids yoga for?

This class is aimed at toddlers and pre-schoolers. You’re welcome to join as soon as your child is confidently walking. If you’re home educating your school aged child you are also welcome to join us!

I also offer ‘Baby & Me’ yoga classes for babies and adults. This is a very different class that is more focused on the adult enjoying yoga with their baby. I’ll have info about this soon but for now, join my mailing list so you’re the first to know when it starts!

My child struggles to focus- will kids yoga suit them?

Yes! It’s a child-led class and I completely get that they may need to go and look at that thing on the corner of the room instead of doing tree pose!

What age is this class for?

From walking up to 4 or 5 (when they start school). If you have a baby, check out my baby yoga classes instead!

Whare are the classes?

I am currently looking for the perfect venue to hold these classes! They will be in the Rochdale or Littleborough area. Please watch this space!

How much are the classes?

I offer courses that last either 4, 5 or 6 weeks depending on school terms. The price varies depending on how many sessions there are. Please head to my bookings page for up to date pricing.

Can I book pay as you go classes rather than a block?

I have decided to offer classes as a block booking rather than on a pay as you go basis. This is because I feel the benefits of yoga take time and that I can’t offer you all I have promised in a one off class. Over time, children will get to know me, the other children in the class, and the parents will all get to know each other, too; a supportive community is built. Outside of class, you will see them using their breathing techniques to help themselves navigate big emotions, or maybe incorporating some yoga into their bedtime routine to help them settle down at night. Because I do not offer pay weekly options, I will run taster sessions every now and then to allow people to try the class – keep an eye on this website and my social media pages for more info! (or sign up to my newsletter and be the first to know)

Who can bring the child – mums/grandparents?

This is a kids’ yoga class and any adult can bring the child along – mums, dads, grandparents, aunts, friends… you get the idea! Adults can (and are encouraged!) to join in, but it is a yoga class for children and isn’t focused on the needs of the adult. Therefore, please look after yourself and only take part in a way you feel is right for you. You are very welcome to bring a child along and watch, sitting down, if you prefer.
