Yoga In Schools

Calmer Minds. Stronger Students. Brighter Communities.

Bringing the tools of yoga and mindfulness to children and educators to support emotional wellbeing, focus, kindness and resilience both in and out of the classroom.

Yoga West partners with schools to provide age-appropriate yoga and mindfulness programs for students from preschool through high school, including special education classrooms.

Our programs combine movement, breathing exercises, mindfulness and relaxation in ways that are accessible, engaging and adaptable to the needs of each classroom.

Programs for Every Age and Ability

No two classrooms are alike, and our approach reflects that.

Preschool & Elementary

Playful movement, breathing exercises, stories and mindfulness activities introduce children to yoga while encouraging body awareness, focus and self-regulation.

Middle & High School

Students explore yoga, breathing techniques and mindfulness practices that can support stress management, emotional awareness and overall well-being.

Special Education

Adapted yoga and mindfulness experiences designed to meet students where they are. Sessions are individualized to accommodate a range of physical, developmental, sensory and communication needs.

Flexible Programs for Schools

Yoga West works with administrators and educators to develop programs that fit their students, schedules and school environments.

Programs may include:

  • Yoga and mindfulness integrated into the school day

  • Weekly, monthly or short-term programs

  • After-school yoga

  • Special education and specialized classroom programming

  • School wellness events and family engagement activities

Sessions can take place in classrooms, gyms or other available school spaces. No dedicated yoga studio is necessary.

Experience That Matters

Founded in 2016, Yoga West has worked with public and private schools, preschools and special education programs throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania and beyond.

Our teaching approach draws on extensive yoga education, children's yoga training and experience working directly with students and educators.

We believe yoga should be accessible, adaptable and enjoyable for every student.
