Yoga and mindfulness offer children practical tools to understand their emotions, develop confidence, improve focus and feel more connected to themselves and the world around them.

I've spent over a decade sharing yoga with children in schools and other settings, and one thing I've learned is that the adults around them are just as important as the practices themselves.

When we support our own wellbeing and emotional regulation, we create an environment where children can learn to recognise their feelings, respond to challenges and develop skills that will support them throughout their lives.

That's the heart of Jo Yoga for Children — empowering the adults who nurture, teach and care for children, so they can share these beautiful practices with confidence.

Yoga has been part of my life for many years, and since 2013 I've had the privilege of sharing its benefits with children of different ages, abilities and needs.

Through my work in schools and other educational settings, I've seen how simple practices involving movement, breathing and mindfulness can help children build confidence, understand their emotions and develop a stronger connection with themselves.

But one of the most valuable things I've learned is that the adults around children matter just as much as the practices we teach.

When we understand our own emotions and learn to regulate ourselves, we're better equipped to support children through theirs.

That's the heart of Jo Yoga for Children. I love sharing practical, accessible tools with parents, teachers and educators, helping them bring yoga and mindfulness into everyday life with confidence, compassion and joy.

Welcome

Yoga is a technology to be taken off the mat and into everyday life.

'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!'

Since the age of 7,  [my daughter ] has attended Jo's weekly classes; benefiting hugely from both the mental and physical elements of yoga.
Jo is a fantastic inspirer and role model, using her influence mindfully as she gently and expertly guides her young yogis.

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.

Our pupils love attending the sessions and always look forward to their hour of yoga with Jo. We have noticed pupils have gained a better sense of self-regulation using the tools Jo has taught them. Those pupils who present with anxiety comment on how calming the sessions are and that it ‘helps them to relax’. Jo has also adapted her sessions to cater for a child with cerebral palsy (who is wheel chair bound) and since attending, her physiotherapist has commented on the improvements in her mobility. It just shows that yoga really is for everyone.
