The dog days of summer—those hot, hazy weeks when energy runs low and tempers can run high—are the perfect time to introduce kids yoga into your routine. While the sun blazes and routines relax, yoga offers children a cool, calming way to stay grounded and engaged.

At It’s Yoga Kids®, we make movement fun and meaningful—even in the heat! From playful “downward dogs” to gentle breathing and rest, yoga helps kids beat the summer slump by:

• Regulating emotions when the heat gets intense
• Building strength and flexibility without overexertion
• Creating calm through mindful movement and rest
• Encouraging hydration, breath awareness, and body care

Try a “cool down” yoga break:

🐶 Down Dog for stretching and stability

As summer winds down, yoga helps kids transition back to structure with more ease, focus, and peace of mind.

Let the dog days be your cue to pause, stretch, and smile—together. ☀️🐾🧘‍♂️

In today’s classrooms, students are experiencing more stress, distraction, and emotional overwhelm than ever before. Teachers are feeling it too. That’s why more schools are turning to yoga and mindfulness—not just for students, but for the educators who guide them.

At It’s Yoga Kids®, we believe every teacher deserves tools to help students move their bodies, manage their emotions, and master self-awareness. Our professional development programs bring age-appropriate, accessible yoga and mindfulness training to teachers from preschool through high school—no prior yoga experience required!

🧘‍♂️ Why Kids Yoga Belongs in Every Classroom

Yoga for kids is not about doing complex poses—it’s about helping students:

• Regulate emotions
• Focus their attention
• Build confidence and resilience
• Create a positive classroom culture
• Reduce anxiety and behavioral challenges

When teachers integrate yoga and mindfulness into their routines, they see improvements in classroom management, student engagement, and overall well-being—for students and themselves.

🎓 What Teachers Learn in Our Professional Development

Our training gives educators practical, ready-to-use tools grounded in science and real classroom success. Teachers learn how to:

• Use breathwork to shift classroom energy
• Incorporate mindful movement breaks
• Guide calming routines to start or end the day
• Offer supportive language to build self-awareness
• Lead short yoga flows for focus, strength, and calm

Whether you're teaching pre-K students or high school teens, our methods adapt to any age group—and are designed to fit within your existing curriculum and schedule.

📚 From Pre-K to High School: A Universal Language

Younger students love the imaginative, playful side of yoga: animal poses, stories, and games that teach body awareness and self-control. Older students benefit from movement that supports stress relief, athletic performance, and emotional regulation—especially during tests, transitions, and teen turbulence.

Yoga meets students where they are, and it grows with them.

🌟 Teachers as Leaders in Wellness

Educators who practice and model these tools become wellness leaders in their school communities. They help create safe, inclusive classrooms where every student feels seen, heard, and supported.

At It’s Yoga Kids®, we’re on a mission to train 10,000 leaders to reach 10 million kids with movement, mindfulness, and mindset skills that aren’t taught anywhere else—but are needed everywhere.

Imagine a place where children can stretch, breathe, explore, and grow—not just indoors, but outside in the fresh air, surrounded by trees, birdsong, and open skies. That’s the magic of a Kids Yoga Camp in Nature—a powerful blend of movement, mindfulness, and mother earth.

At It’s Yoga Kids®, we believe that kids thrive when they are connected to their bodies and the world around them. Nature is a natural teacher, and yoga is the perfect guide to help kids tune in, slow down, and shine from the inside out.

🌳 Why Nature + Yoga Is So Powerful for Kids

When children practice yoga outside, they:

• Ground themselves through bare feet and natural textures
• Expand their awareness by observing sounds, smells, and colors
• Breathe deeper with fresh, clean air
• Reduce stress and anxiety through sensory engagement
• Reconnect with wonder in a world that’s often fast-paced and screen-heavy

In nature, yoga becomes more than a practice—it becomes a playful, healing adventure.

🧘‍♂️ What Happens at a Kids Yoga Camp?

A day at yoga camp in nature might include:

• Morning Movement: Gentle yoga flows with sun salutations and animal-inspired poses
• Mindful Walks: Exploring trails with breathing and gratitude practices
• Nature Crafts: Creating mandalas with leaves, rocks, and flowers
• Stillness & Stories: Quiet rest time with guided meditations or mindful storytelling
• Free Play & Connection: Building friendships with laughter and games

Each moment is designed to help kids build strength, calm, focus, and confidence—while having fun in the great outdoors.

☀️ Benefits That Last Beyond Summer

Kids Yoga Camp in Nature helps children:

• Improve balance, coordination, and body awareness
• Practice self-regulation and emotional resilience
• Feel more connected to themselves, others, and the earth
• Develop respect for nature and mindfulness in everyday life

These skills don’t stay at camp—they come home, helping kids handle school, friendships, and challenges with more ease and grace.

🌿 Let Nature Be the Classroom

We believe every child deserves a space where they can breathe deeply, move freely, and feel fully alive. Nature provides that space. Yoga provides the tools. Together, they create an experience that is both grounding and uplifting.

At It’s Yoga Kids®, our mission is to reach 10 million children with the skills they need to succeed—skills like self-awareness, compassion, and calm—that aren’t taught anywhere else.

Yoga camp in nature is one of the most joyful, empowering ways to start.

Let the forest be the studio. Let the sun be the spotlight. Let your child grow with the earth beneath their feet. 🌲🧘‍♀️🌼
