School Yoga Program
A step-by-step course to create a customized yoga program for your classroom or school
Do you want to bring yoga and mindfulness to your school, but you’re completely perplexed on how exactly to do that?
We hear this all the time from our community.
You know the value of yoga and mindfulness… but find it challenging to convey all the benefits in a meaningful way to your school community.
Even if parents and the administration are on board and you have the green light to launch a program… where do you even start?
Time is tight, resources are limited, and getting buy-in from children (and even parents, admin, and peers) can be challenging.
Let us help you take away the overwhelm and confusion, and provide a solid framework for you to create a fully customized plan for your school—a plan you can easily tailor to your needs, your students, and your school, so you feel confident bringing these valuable and life-changing practices to your students.
No two schools are alike. Every school has its challenges and culture, needs and limitations. Only YOU know what these are. Taking a done-for-you, “boxed” yoga and mindfulness program may seem like a good approach (we all want something simple, right?), but these programs are rarely a great fit. And oftentimes, they’re not suitable for the specific needs of a classroom or school.
Your students are unique, and you need a program tailored to them!
School Yoga Program was created with this in mind.
This course was created so you can create the perfect classroom/school yoga program that fits you, your students, and your school.
You will walk away from this program with a plan in hand and resources to get started right away!
This program is based on a strong foundation, which starts with you, yet flexible enough to meet students where they’re at and change over time, if needed.
During this four-module program, you will:
:: Discover ways to fund your program… even if the costs seem prohibitive, you’re not sure what options are available, or you don’t think your school will contribute.
:: Learn tools to get buy-in from hesitant administrators, skeptic teachers, and concerned parents… even if they think yoga is religious, view it as some “wishy-washy, hippy-dippy” practice, or simply value academics above all else.
:: Dig deeper to understand what’s culturally relevant for your community, what support you have based on any challenges and special needs, and what may and may not work for your school population... so you can create the very best program for your school.
:: Prepare yourself with a variety of engaging exercises and practices that students will enjoy… even if they think yoga and mindfulness is lame and boring or if they’re overly concerned what others might think.
:: Engage with the tools and resources to adapt to different age groups and maturity levels so that children find yoga engaging and interesting... so everyone benefits from the mindfulness and yoga lessons, even the most challenging students.
:: Create a workable, consistent plan that can easily adapt and fit into your day—even if you feel there is very little time to fit in everything that is already required of you.
:: Gain the confidence to teach the poses and exercises, even if you’re uncomfortable with the movements, don’t feel like a yoga role model, or generally feel "out of shape.”
:: Discover ways to meet the entire class where they’re at, despite challenges with skeptical students who goof off or try and distract the rest of the class from the activity.
:: Learn to present research and build strategies to convince parents, administration, and teachers that yoga and mindfulness can actually benefit children’s academic performance as much as their social emotional well-being... ...that way you can gain more buy-in and support from the major stakeholders in bringing yoga and mindfulness to children.
:: See what’s possible by hearing from teachers in the field who have successfully brought yoga and mindfulness to their schools—that way, you can see what a school yoga program looks like in action and have the confidence to create your own!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I don’t practice yoga and mindfulness myself. Will this be a problem?
Definitely not! We hear this all the time, and this concern is one of the main barriers for teachers to get started. Please don’t let this stop you from bringing the benefits of yoga and mindfulness to children.
For those of you who purchase during our very special launch, we have created a bonus course, Yoga and Mindfulness 101, that will help you begin to explore and develop your own practice. And working on your own practice is baked into every bootcamp session! Each day, we will be doing movement, breathing, and energy exercises. -
How much does it cost?
As a member of our community, all you’ll pay is one-time payment of $197.
That's nearly $300 OFF the full price of $495. PLUS, you’ll receive additional bonuses that alone are worth $1,800!
So in total—including bonuses—you would pay $2,295 for access. Instead… you’ll only pay $197. -

I see you have offered a live "bootcamp" version of this program in the past. Will you be offering the School Yoga Bootcamp again?
Yes, we plan to offer the live/virtual three-day bootcamp again the summer of 2022. And this one will have even MORE juicy resources, additional guests, and so much more than this year’s bootcamp. Please keep an eye out for dates.
The best part… the bootcamp is a BONUS for purchasing the course during this sale.
We will guarantee your spot at the School Yoga Bootcamp next year. We have limited seats available, and it will sell out. All we ask is that you pay the non-refundable fee of $100 before the event to officially reserve and RSVP your spot. -
I’m hoping to get help covering the cost. What if I can’t get the funding in time during this sale?
If you are actively pursuing funding to cover the cost of this course, we will honor this sale. In order to do so, please send us a note and let us know that you are actively working on it. We will hold your spot (pricing and bonuses) for you. But please email us at [email protected] before the end of the sale so we know!
