Engaging Yoga for children
Find clear answers to the most asked questions we get about our children’s yoga classes.
What age are the classes for?
We provide specialised yoga and dance classes designed for children between 3 and 11 years old. There are currently 2 groups; 3-5 years (30 minutes) & 6-11 years (45 minutes).
How often are classes held?
There are currently 2 classes available to book on a Saturday morning at Leeming Village Hall.
We also teach private classes at a number of local childcare settings.
What benefits can my child expect from these classes?
Our classes help improve flexibility, balance, coordination, and confidence while supporting emotional wellbeing.
Through yoga, mindfulness, and creative movement, children can develop focus, self-regulation skills, and resilience, while enjoying positive social interaction and having fun.
Do you accept beginners?
Absolutely! Our classes are designed for children of all abilities and experience levels. Your child will be welcomed into a supportive and inclusive environment.
Sessions are focused on participation, enjoyment, and personal growth rather than perfect poses. Every child is encouraged to learn at their own pace and celebrate their own progress.
Are parents allowed to stay?
Yes, parents are to remain on site during sessions in a designated seating area. We have a strict one parent per child policy and conversations should be kept to a minimum during sessions to preserve the calm and mindful atmosphere.
We understand that trying something new can feel a little daunting for some children. To help keep classes calm and child-focused, I encourage parents to support from the side rather than joining in with every activity, as this can sometimes feel overwhelming for little ones.
There is always a settling-in period while children build confidence, and there’s never any pressure to participate. If a child isn’t ready for a particular activity, that’s absolutely fine. As I always say, their mat is their safe space, and they’re welcome to join in whenever they feel ready.
What should my child wear and should they bring anything to class?
Comfortable, stretchy clothing and bare feet or non-slip socks are ideal for participation.
Please bring drinking water.
Yoga mats and all props are provided.
