Frequently asked questions
Do kids need yoga experience?
No. Sessions are beginner-friendly and can be adapted for age, confidence, mobility and sensory needs.
Is kids yoga the same as adult yoga?
No. Children's yoga should be age-appropriate, playful, practical and simple. Younger children need more movement, imagination and co-regulation; older children and teens can handle more structured breathwork, mobility and reflection.
Can parents use the routines at home?
Yes. Family and at-home resources are designed to help children practise short, safe wellbeing routines outside school.
Can this support PE, Sport or PDHPE?
Yes. The program is designed to support movement, physical activity and practical wellbeing outcomes. Schools should always map the program to their own curriculum planning, but the structure is designed to sit naturally inside PE/Sport, PDHPE, wellbeing blocks, incursions and classroom reset routines.
