Curriculum Overview

Our School Age Yoga Curriculum for Grades 1–3 is designed for children ages 6–9 who are developing independence, emotional awareness, and confidence in group settings. Through yoga, mindfulness, games, and meaningful themes, students learn how to move their bodies with intention, manage their emotions, and build strong social connections.

This curriculum blends movement and mindfulness in a way that feels engaging, age-appropriate, and empowering — never overwhelming.
