You want to respond with patience, stay calm and help them through big emotions instead of reacting to them.
But real life doesn’t look like a mindfulness poster.
Some days you’re tired, you may snap and some days you don’t know what the “right” thing is to say.
And when children melt down, shut down, lash out, or cling…
It can leave you feeling helpless, frustrated, guilty and unsure of yourself.
You care deeply about the children in your life.
Here’s the truth.
You are not failing or making mistakes.
You were simply never taught how the nervous system works — or how to support it.
Children don’t learn regulation from being told to calm down.
They learn it by being with regulated adults.
They borrow our nervous systems.
They feel our tone and they sense our energy.
When you learn how to steady yourself in challenging moments, you naturally become a safer place for children.
This course starts with you — not because you’re the problem…
But because you’re the most powerful part of the solution.

You don’t need to become a different person.
You don’t need to be perfectly calm.
You don’t need to get it right all the time.
You just need a few simple tools…
And a new understanding of what’s really going on beneath behaviour.

'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.
