EAST WEST YOGA Brings Weekly Yoga to Hundreds of Kids in Schools
Providing yoga within the school curriculum or as an after-school activity is an effective and easy way to help students improve stress, emotion management and concentration skills.
​
For this reason, EAST WEST YOGA is teaching yoga to hundreds of children at school every week!
​
Children Yoga is mostly proposed as an after-school activity, to over 10 international and local schools in Singapore, from pre-schools to secondary schools. Students sign up per term, i.e. for about 8-10 classes in a row.
​
Sessions can range from 45 to 90 minutes and are conducted in assemblies, halls, gyms or empty classrooms by energetic, passionate and specialised Kids Yoga coaches. Classes are engaging, inclusive, non-competitive, safe and fun!

What is kids yoga?
4 to 8 YEARS OLD
​
Kids yoga is a fun, dynamic practice designed to nurture children’s physical, emotional, and mental growth. Through playful yoga poses and calming breathing exercises, kids improve strength, flexibility, balance, and focus, all while learning to manage their emotions.
​
Each class is filled with creative activities, such as story-based movements, dance, and group games that promote teamwork and concentration. Kids work together in team-building exercises that encourage cooperation and social skills while also learning how to focus and stay present. Sensory elements, like scarves, feathers, and music, engage their imagination, and guided visualizations help them explore their inner world.
​
Children also get the chance to express their creativity through "yogart," making crafts like origami, mandalas, or drawings, blending relaxation with art. At the end of every session, a peaceful relaxation time allows them to wind down, leaving class feeling calm, joyful, and centered.
​
This practice not only supports physical development but also encourages self-awareness, boosts confidence, and teaches valuable life skills like teamwork and focus—all in a fun and engaging way!

Teen yoga is a transformative journey designed to help teens discover their potential and overcome self-limiting beliefs. This practice provides a safe space where teens can develop self-love, self-acceptance, and resilience, learning to handle life's challenges with calm and balance.
​
Classes integrate dynamic yoga poses, advanced breathing exercises, and restorative techniques to enhance physical strength, flexibility, and posture while reducing anxiety. Teens engage in varied activities, including partner poses, mindfulness practices, and meditation, to foster self-awareness and build self-confidence.
​
Sessions include creative elements like journaling, expressive movements, and team-building games to keep the practice enjoyable and engaging. Longer relaxation periods and restorative yoga techniques, such as Yoga Nidra, help teens unwind, recharge, and maintain a sense of calm. Guided visualizations and sensory activities further enrich their experience, promoting a deeper connection to themselves and their surroundings.
​
Through this comprehensive approach, teen yoga encourages personal growth, helps manage stress, and cultivates healthy habits in a supportive and non-competitive environment.
