“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” ~ Albert Einstein
Children who practice yoga find it easier to learn at school and are less likely to be negatively influenced by peer pressure, temptations and the many distractions that children face.
Yoga has been shown to aid children with extra needs by giving them a channel to express themselves and tools for identifying and managing strong emotions.
As educators we have the privilege of guiding children through these early years and helping them develop and grow.
We like to partner with early childhood centres and be an extension of your core values and visions.
“Inner Child Yoga’s programs are current, inline with the Early Years Learning Framework and in tune with the children’s needs. They are so accommodating, working around our busy program to deliver the Yoga lesson at a convenient time, enabling our children to get the most out of the lesson. They even continued their program via zoom for us, so during the COVID pandemic the children did not miss out.
Blue Gum has benefited in so many ways, the environment is calmer, we hear the children referring to the lessons, understanding their emotions and how to deal with them and supporting each other. Katie is 100% part of the Blue Gum family; we are so lucky to have found Katie and Inner Child Yoga.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katie and Inner Child Yoga; Blue Gum would not be the same without her!”

Our Programs
We’re passionate about learning. Our programs are mapped to the Early Years Learning Framework learning outcomes:
- Children have a strong sense of identity
- Children are connected with and contribute to their world around them
- Children have a strong sense of well being
- Children are confident and involved learners
- Children are effective communicators
During our 30 minute classes the children complete breathing exercises, adapted Hatha yoga poses, yoga therapy movements, mindfulness activities, yoga games, imaginative play, music, songs, relaxations, reflections and affirmations.
“Yoga’s nice. Drawing the picture of fear and throwing it away is what I liked most” – Libby aged 3
“He showed us the anger hand movements and told us all about the breath taking away the anger … It’s super thank you ” – Meredith, parent
