About this class
Who it’s for
Interested parents can approach me to discuss yoga for their children, their age and what they would like them to learn.
Why this practice
I introduce yoga as a way of living, not only a set of exercises. Stories offer a starting point for conversations about values, choices and how we treat ourselves and others.
How I teach it
For younger children I use stories, play and short activities. School-age children explore movement, shlokas and everyday values through the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Teens have a more structured practice with strengthening, mobility, breath awareness, relaxation and reflection. The pace and teaching change with age.
Learning through stories and shlokas
Stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata offer a way to explore characters, choices and values together. I introduce shlokas alongside the stories and practice, using explanations appropriate to the children’s ages.
Different ages, different approaches
- Younger children: short, playful activities, imaginative postures and simple breathing awareness. Mythological stories are told in accessible language, with small moments of quiet rather than a long, fixed sequence.
- School-age children: movement games, balance, coordination and simple sequences, alongside stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata and introductions to shlokas. We invite questions and explore how the stories connect with everyday choices.
- Teens: a more structured practice with strengthening, mobility, breath awareness and relaxation. The teaching makes room for growing independence, everyday pressures, concentration and self-understanding. Stories and shlokas can lead into age-appropriate discussion and reflection rather than being taught as they are to younger children.
Children and teens are not taught as one identical group. The pace, language, activities and level of discussion change with age and experience. Exact age bands and group arrangements will be confirmed on enquiry.
What a session can include
A session moves between active play and calmer activities, giving children different ways to participate. There is room to explore, try again and rest without needing to perform a pose perfectly.
- Movement and strength: playful postures, balance challenges and simple sequences to explore coordination and body awareness.
- Stories and games: imaginative movement and group activities that make practice engaging.
- Breath awareness: simple, comfortable breathing activities using age-appropriate images and language.
- Attention and feelings: short pauses to notice the body, name how they feel and explore settling after activity.
- Relaxation: a quiet finish with rest, guided imagination or a short meditation.
Activities are adapted to the group rather than asking every child to move or participate in the same way.
A space to explore, not compete
Children are encouraged to listen to their bodies, respect one another’s space and enjoy learning. The focus is participation and curiosity, rather than flexibility, perfect shapes or comparison.
