We do yoga classes for kids!
Yoga and Wellbeing Programs for Primary Schools & Early learning centers:
Yes2Yoga specialises in designing & facilitating ‘Yoga and Wellbeing Programs’ specific to Primary Schools & Early Learning Centres. These programs don’t just involve the physical movement of yoga! They are designed for the children to learn mindfulness tools and strategies so they can experience the amazing benefits directly. Recognising and understanding your emotions is a central and imperative part of all of the programs at Yes2Yoga.
These innovative programs are linked succinctly with the Australian Curriculum and these documents can be provided to teachers before commencement of the sessions. Reflection & Assessment documents are also available for portfolio and reporting use.
Skills and tools learnt in the sessions can be implemented into the classroom which will provide a more focused and calm environment. Students can then begin to take more responsibility of their own wellbeing and behaviour. They will leave the program understanding more about their own body, learning the science behind how & why their body & mind works the way it does.
Our passion is centered on empowering kids to use both physical movement and mindfulness to connect with themselves first and then their outer world.

About
WHOLE SCHOOL WELLBEING PROGRAM
Our most popular program we run here at Yes2Yoga. It has a whole school approach held over 1 term that includes a session a week for all students. Daily strategies and reflection are then incorporated during the term in the classroom. This has had a big impact to the total overall wellbeing in schools.

About the teacher
JACKLYN
Jacklyn is a Registered Primary School teacher with over 10 years classroom experience and 4 years in Physical Education (PE). After falling in love with yoga herself she went on to train in numerous renowned Kids Yoga Teacher Trainings such as Zenergy Yoga and Rainbow Kids.
She noticed a huge impact in the children she was teaching and with a new passion sparked that’s how ‘Yes2Yoga-For Kids’ was born! Jacklyn has trained in many children’s wellbeing programs with a focus on mindfulness and emotional strategies. She did further training with Dutch Educator and author Freerk Ykema in the ‘Rock and Water’ program. This extensive program provides kids with a pathway to self-awareness, increased self-confidence and social functioning.
Since then Jacklyn has developed a number of successful programs linked to the Australian Curriculum. She currently works in many schools across Melbourne and Country Victoria running their whole school wellbeing programs. Jacklyn knows the importance of this work for today’s kids and also the need to make programs fun and relevant. With her in depth knowledge of the school curriculum and stages of development she has developed her own programs to best suit children of all ages. Jacklyn has now been working alongside teachers and principals for the past 5 years introducing her specialised innovative programs to schools with huge success.
