Playful yoga and mindfulness experiences for children and families, with a growing presence at 30+ locations throughout Utah

Bring playful yoga and mindfulness into your school with sessions designed for individual grade levels or multiple groups as needed. Children explore the joy of movement, practice fun and challenging yoga poses, discover breathing techniques, and use yoga props to encourage mindfulness and relaxation. Sessions help children focus and calm their minds while building self-awareness, confidence, and connection with others.
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. Through stories, music, games, sensory play, yoga poses, breathing techniques, and relaxation, children develop calming tools, mindfulness skills, and confidence. We also offer themed kids’ yoga birthday parties filled with music, games, yoga poses, stories, and crafts for a fun and memorable celebration.
Hands-on resources designed to engage the five senses, strengthen the mind-body connection, and support children in developing mindfulness and self-awareness. The resources offer a variety of playful techniques for relaxation, focus, yoga, mindfulness, and creative movement that can be used at home or in the classroom. These simple techniques encourage children to pause, slow down, listen within, and practice making mindful choices with greater awareness and confidence.
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.

"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!"

"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!"
