Yoga for Kids
We all come to yoga for a healthy body, a clear mind, and a happy heart. Children deserve the same gift, taught in a way that feels like play and lands like wisdom.
Kids yoga can offer grounding, strength, and awareness to students by incorporating asanas and breath with fun mindfulness activities and games (for younger kids).
Yoga for kids and teens has so many benefits and helps them to succeed in their life journeys! SolarYou Yoga offers a yoga for kids program this fall led by @Isabella Carvajal!
While we all know yoga helps with flexibility and strength, its primary goal is to help practitioners to control wandering minds. Kids learn how to be present and mindful, they get an instrument to manage anxiety and enhance children’s concentration and memory. Last but not the least, yoga teaches discipline and reduces impulsivity, helping them to be responsive and not reactive.
We are planning to offer a group approximately 7-10 years old and we are open to your requests if you have kids of other ages who are interested in yoga.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Ages 7 to 10 · Saturdays 12:30 to 1:30 PM
What a class looks like. Every session opens with a theme drawn from real yoga: the breath, how the body moves, the chakras, or yama and niyama, the tradition's simple rules for being kind to yourself and others. Amruta then builds a sequence around that theme, introducing the classic poses one at a time so kids learn their names, their shapes, and how they feel from the inside. Then comes free playtime, on purpose: children learn as much from wiggling as from stillness, and we make room for both. Every class ends with playful time and a moment of quiet.
The mala. In some sessions where we explore the chakras, each child receives a bead in that chakra's color. By the end of the program they have assembled their own mala, one bead per lesson: a necklace they made, from a tradition they now understand.
Why yoga for kids. Flexibility and strength come along for the ride, but the heart of yoga is learning to steady a wandering mind. Children who practice learn to be present, to notice their breath when feelings get big, and to focus when it counts. Yoga also teaches gentle discipline: the ability to pause and respond rather than react, a skill that serves a child in the classroom, on the playground, and at home.
Details. The program is 8 weekly sessions, Saturdays 12:30 to 1:30 PM, sold as one package or a drop in. Our current group is ages 7 to 10, and children slightly outside that range are welcome to try a class; if we see interest in another age group, we will open one. No experience needed, mats provided, just comfortable clothes and curiosity.
ABOUT AMRUTA VYAS
Amruta Vyas teaches yoga to children the way it was taught to her: as a living tradition, not a fitness trend. Born and raised in India, she grew up with yoga, mantra, and mindfulness woven into ordinary family life, and she brings that inheritance into the room with warmth and real depth. Kids adore her, and it is easy to see why: she is completely serious about what she teaches and completely playful about how she teaches it.
By day, Amruta is a product and program manager in the healthcare industry, where she builds programs that have to work for real people. That same care shows up in her classes: every session has a clear theme, a thoughtful arc, and room for a child to be a child. As a dedicated mom, she knows exactly how much energy, curiosity, and honesty children carry, and she designs her classes to meet all three.
