Because supporting a child begins with understanding what’s happening beneath the behaviour.
When a child is struggling, it isn't always obvious what they need.
Perhaps you've found yourself dealing with meltdowns, anxiety, frustration, difficulty settling, worries at bedtime or emotions that seem to come from nowhere.
You want to help. You try talking, reassuring, distracting, reasoning — and sometimes nothing seems to reach them.
And perhaps you've even found yourself thinking:
“I just don't know what to do in this moment.”
That's exactly why I created
The Mindfulness for Children Course
This isn't about creating perfectly calm children.
It's about helping children build skills for real life.
Children don't need us to make difficult feelings disappear. They need safe adults who can help them understand what's happening inside their bodies, move through big emotions and gradually discover the tools that work for them.
And that begins with us.
Because before we can help a child regulate, we need to understand our own nervous system too.
Mindfulness for Children starts with the adult, giving you simple, practical tools you can use for yourself first — before learning how to share them naturally with the children in your care.
Regulated Adults
Supported Children
Skills For Life
So what will you actually learn?
I want you to finish this course feeling more confident in those moments when a child is struggling — because instead of wondering what on earth to do, you'll have a toolkit of simple practices you understand and know how to use.
Understand what is really happening
Learn how the nervous system influences emotions and behaviour, so you can begin looking beneath what a child is doing and understand what they may be communicating.
Regulate yourself first
Discover simple practices to notice what's happening in your own body, steady yourself in challenging moments and bring a more grounded presence to the child in front of you.
Know what to do in the moment
Learn practical breathing, mindfulness and regulation tools you can reach for when emotions are big — without needing twenty quiet minutes, special equipment or a perfectly cooperative child.
Help children build their own toolkit
Rather than always regulating for them, you'll learn how to help children notice their feelings, understand their bodies and gradually discover the tools that help them.
The goal isn't a child who never struggles.
It's a child who grows up knowing what to do when they do.
A parent or carer wanting practical ways to support big feelings at home

A teacher or educator looking for simple tools you can use naturally within the school day.
A yoga or mindfulness teacher wanting to feel more confident adapting regulation and mindfulness practices for children.
Someone who works with or supports children and wants to better understand what may be happening beneath their behaviour.
This course is for you if you are....
You don't need to be an expert
You simply need to care about helping children feel understood, supported and more confident navigating their emotions.
WHAT’S INSIDE Mindfulness for children
Everything inside has been created to be simple, practical and usable in real life. You can move through the course at your own pace, experience the practices for yourself, and begin using what you learn with children straight away.
♡ Understand the WHY
Explore the science of mindfulness and the nervous system so you understand what's happening beneath behaviour, big emotions and dysregulation — without getting lost in complicated theory.
♡ Know WHAT to do
You'll be guided through step-by-step mindfulness games, breathing techniques and practical exercises that you can confidently use with children at home, in school or in your sessions.
♡ Have the words when you need them
Use my ready-to-follow relaxation scripts and guided practices, taking away that “What do I actually say?” feeling and giving you something you can reach for straight away.
♡ Experience it for yourself
You'll also receive an Open Heart Kundalini Kriya for you, because the most powerful way to share these tools with children is to experience them in your own body first — helping the learning move from something you know into something you can genuinely embody and share.

'Jo delivered some wonderful yoga sessions to a group of 10-11 years olds. Children can feel some pressure in Year 6, and as a teacher, I was amazed by how the ... session completely transformed the children’s outlook. Jo's clear instructions and friendly nature engaged all of the pupils, leaving the children in a much calmer place than at the start of the class.
The session gave instant benefits with many of the children commenting about how great they felt afterwards. I have since seen several children use some of the techniques taught to cope in different situations – a valuable tool for life. I wouldn’t hesitate to use yoga again the classroom – thank you Jo Yoga!'

I can’t speak highly enough of Jo and her Yoga sessions. She just gets the pupils, is so inclusive and makes every single one of us so welcome. The pupils massively benefit from the Yoga sessions and absolutely love it. I can definitely tell that they are so relaxed and calm after the session.
