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.
