A class children can lead by heart
Every class follows the same five-part shape, so children feel safe, settle quickly and soon start leading the songs and breathing themselves.
Welcome song
Our Little Yogis song tells children class has begun.
Theme and breath
A story introduces the theme, and props like breathing balls make belly breathing easy to see.
Warm-up and poses
Songs and games warm up the body, then poses act out the story: trees, frogs, butterflies and more.
Play together
Whole-group, partner and small-group games, so every child joins in.
Rest, kind words and goodbye
A quiet rest, positive words to carry home, then our goodbye song.
Feelings and friendships
Our social-emotional learning program takes the calm-down tools from yoga and puts them to work all day. Through games, stories and hands-on projects, children practise:
- Belly breathingwith breathing balls, pinwheels and bubbles
- Naming big feelingsso children can say what's going on inside
- Calm-down toolsthey can use in the classroom, at recess and at home
- Kindness and friendshiptaking turns, including others, solving problems
In schools, our Mindfulness Club ends with every child taking home their own Resiliency Toolbox.

Good to know
Are Busy Minds and Little Yogis the same company?
Yes. Little Yogis Academy® is the Busy Minds Ed. brand for kids yoga. You can book yoga on its own or alongside our other programs, with the same local team.
What ages do you teach?
Ages 2 and up. Toddler and preschool classes are short and playful; school-age classes add longer flows, partner poses and more mindfulness.
Does my group need yoga mats or experience?
No experience needed. We bring the props, and classes work on a carpet, a gym floor or outside on the grass.
What's the difference between Yoga and SEL & Mindfulness?
Yoga is mostly movement and breathing. SEL & Mindfulness is mostly games, stories and projects about feelings and friendships. Many groups mix both.
Can you help our educators too?
Yes. We offer staff wellness sessions and mindfulness PD, and Little Yogis Academy runs kids yoga teacher training for educators.
Who teaches the classes?
Every instructor is carefully selected and trained by Busy Minds and Little Yogis Academy in child development, class management and age-appropriate yoga.
