Mindfulness & Yoga for Every Child

Helping children move, connect, focus, and build life skills across 30+ locations throughout Utah.

What We Offer

Mindfulness & Yoga for Schools

How can we support your school community?

Emerald Kids Yoga brings developmentally appropriate movement and mindfulness experiences into schools, giving children opportunities to practice skills they can use in the classroom, with others, and in everyday life.

Through movement, mindfulness, play, sensory activities, and connection, we engage children in practicing skills such as attention, working memory, inhibitory control, flexible thinking, problem-solving, emotional awareness, self-regulation, body awareness, and movement skills.

We support your school through flexible classroom or grade-level sessions, small group sessions, school-wide programming, sensory and mindfulness activities and resources, and simple techniques teachers and caregivers can continue using throughout the day.

Our goal is to help make skill practice a natural part of the day—not one more thing to do.

Classes & Events

Mindfulness & Yoga for Schools

How can we support your community?

We offer playful mindfulness and yoga experiences for children of all ages, including kids-only classes, family yoga, caregiver-and-child classes, camps, Storytime Yoga, and community programs.

We also offer themed kids’ yoga birthday parties filled with music, games, yoga poses, stories, and crafts for a fun and memorable celebration.

Through sensory exploration, creative movement, breathing techniques, and relaxation, children have opportunities to move, connect, build courage, and practice skills they can use in everyday life.

We support your community by bringing playful, engaging programs to the spaces where children and families already gather. Our flexible classes and events can be adapted to your ages, group, setting, or theme—helping you offer meaningful experiences that encourage connection, creativity, and joy.

Through these sessions, children also have opportunities to practice everyday life skills—like taking turns, problem-solving, managing big feelings, trying something new, connecting with others, and using calming strategies—in authentic, meaningful ways they can carry beyond the class.

Yoga Cards & Resources

How can we support you?

Hands-on resources designed to engage children’s minds, bodies, senses, and relationships while building skills for everyday life. Our resources draw from child-development research and frameworks, including the Harvard Center on the Developing Child, the CASEL Framework, and SHAPE America.

Through developmentally appropriate activities, children practice mindfulness and movement techniques connected to thinking and brain development, building connection and relationship skills, noticing body signals and emotions, using calming and regulation strategies, and developing movement skills.

Each resource gives children opportunities to experience and practice these skills in ways they can use in everyday life.

Inclusive & Neurodivergent-Friendly Yoga Sessions

Our inclusive yoga and mindfulness experiences meet children wherever they are. Children can explore traditional yoga poses, chair yoga, and creative movement while practicing fine and gross motor skills through visuals, stories, music, and games, along with mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

Chair yoga offers another way for children—and people of all ages—to experience movement, breathing, and mindfulness while seated, creating an accessible and meaningful way to practice yoga.

Activities can be adapted to support different sensory, learning, communication, and movement needs, allowing children to participate in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful to them.

Whether we’re in a classroom, gym, library, park, or another community space, yoga can happen anywhere—creating space for connection, belonging, and confidence.

What Our community is saying

ABILITY TO CALM DOWN USING DEEP BREATHS

"My daughter is a student at Blooming Minds Montessori, and I am so grateful for your partnership to do weekly yoga! I am amazed by 1) her flexibility (she's always showing us her yoga poses!) 2) her ability to calm herself down using deep breaths (and telling us too!) and 3) her complete enjoyment of the program to the point that she requests to be the yoga teacher at home and teach us! I'm so glad to have this program as part of BMM and her life, so THANK YOU!"

HELPED MY CHILD BUILD CONFIDENCE, FOCUS

ABILITY TO CALM DOWN USING DEEP BREATHS

"I cannot recommend Emerald Kids Yoga enough! The instructors are incredible! they use a variety of visuals and hands-on techniques that make every session engaging, fun, and easy to follow for kids. My child was immediately drawn in and stayed excited the entire time. I love how the classes balance movement, mindfulness, and creativity, helping kids not just get active, but also feel calm and centered. The team is patient, supportive, and genuinely caring, which made the experience feel safe and welcoming. Every class was a positive experience, and I can already see how it has helped my child build confidence, focus, and a love for yoga. Emerald Kids Yoga truly goes above and beyond, and I could not recommend them highly enough!"
