Welcome to the wonderful world of kids yoga!

Imagination Yoga is a curriculum-based kids yoga program that captures kids’ attention and inspires mindful movement. Through the use of imaginative storytelling (kids yoga flow) and developmentally appropriate yoga poses, this course will introduce to YOU, the adult, how to teach children in your life yoga. These easy to learn poses can be used anytime throughout the day; no special equipment or location is required. Poses are all developmentally appropriate for ages 2-12. Imagination Yoga can be used anytime you or the child need a calm break, a positive pick me up or a moment of inspired movement. The poses and techniques you will learn in this course are meant to be used one at a time, or all together in a kids yoga flow that is up to 30 minutes long. It can be offered to a whole group of children or one child at a time, the possibilities are endless!

Who is this class for? Imagination Yoga trainings have been used and implemented by parents, teachers, and yogis, as well as those in the medical and mental health fields. No previous yoga experience is required. Both those new to yoga, as well as professional yoga instructors have all found this program to be accessible and easy to implement.

What is included in this online course?

  • An introduction to kids yoga, why it works and when/how to implement it.
  • Developmentally appropriate and creative yoga poses that will inspire movement, calm, kindness and concentration.
  • Step-by-step video guide that safely and creatively teaches you how to come into and out of the yoga poses.

Testimonials
From students of our in-person Inspiring Kids to Move trainings

"I was so inspired by everything about this training. Jessica and Jamie are two amazing women who are passionate, knowledgeable, and extremely authentic about what they do. It was a pleasure to learn from them and to observe how they incorporate so many different aspects of learning into their yoga teachings. I completed the training feeling very uplifted, and with the hope that I can begin to share their teachings with my community in my own way. Thank you." - Nicole Orr, Yoga Teacher

"I plan on using these poses in my morning circle and with children on their nap mats. Can’t wait to see how my classes energy changes! Thank you so much, it was very inspirational." - Clair Beam, Preschool Teacher

"My 2nd grade daughter has taken Imagination Yoga and loves it I asked her what she likes about it, "You get to go on adventures and I feel calm. I forget about any of the bad things in my day." These kinds of self regulating skills are essential for her as she grows and matures. Priceless lifelong skills!! Thank you Imagination Yoga!!"- Heather McCullum, Parent

Thank you for this introductory course! I'm so excited to bring this to my storytimes at the library. I really appreciated the self-care portion as well. I have other early childhood education stakeholders who could benefit from that reminder. I love that the poses incorporate so much imagination and movement. You even have me enjoying Downward Dog. Tails Up and I'll see you at the 2-Day training.

Imagination yoga is a complete concept and what I mean by that is, this program has a beginning/introduction, a middle (full of all kinds of juicy information), and an end that focuses on centering ourselves and noticing how wonderful we are. I have practiced yoga since 1998 and I have worked with children and families since the 90's as well, and I have never been introduced to a curriculum that focuses on kindness, calm, and self care like IY does. And it is for ALL ages! How wonderful is that! I have completed the online course and I am registered for the upcoming teacher training course. I cannot wait to be a certified Imagination Yoga teacher and bring all of this goodness into my head start classroom.

It was wonderful to feel your calm and uplifting energy through the screen! I'm so excited that this was so easily accessible no matter where you are. Especially if you aren't regularly practicing adventures with kids, this is a great refresher on tips, cues, and the intentions! Thank you!!!
