What materials are included in the Grounded Kids curriculum bundles?
Our bundles include a curated mix of pose cards, coloring books, printable worksheets, lesson plans, and visual aids. For example, the 5 Elements Kids Yoga Bundle includes our Grounded in the 5 Elements Yoga Curriculum, student workbook, I Am Who I Am Affirmation Deck and 5 Elements Flow Clocks. The Focus in Time Kit includes 5 instructional mini-flows with visuals. Bundles are designed to help you build a full toolkit for yoga, SEL, and creative expression, with options for home, school, or therapeutic use.
What are good yoga activities for brain breaks, transitions, or short class times?
Use short sequences that offer a clear beginning, middle, and end. Our Focus in Time Kit includes five themed sequences that fit into 4–10 minute blocks and help children shift energy, increase focus, or reset after stimulation. Popular poses include Breath of Joy, Go to Your Room, Focus 5 and Bubble Gum Breath. These work well during transitions, after recess, or as part of a calming routine before a test or writing block.
What materials or setup do I need to teach yoga in a school setting?
You don’t need mats or a separate space. Most of our classroom sequences can be done standing or seated at desks, using only visual supports like pose cards or printable guides. Our Focus in Time posters and pose decks make it easy to lead sessions with minimal prep. Teachers also use dry-erase checklists, whiteboard prompts, or PowerPoint slides to display poses during transitions.
Where can I find printable or downloadable yoga lesson plans for kids?
Grounded Kids Yoga offers physical and printable lesson plans and visual class templates in our trainings, products, and downloads. Our 11-part lesson plan format is used across all age groups, and you’ll find themed sequences in our Kids Yoga Lesson Plans with Videos, our curriculum collection and our training manuals.
Use our templates to build custom flows or pull ready-made plans like our Focus in Time, My Breath Flow, or Charlie and the Chakra Factory. These are ideal for teachers, therapists, and parents who want to guide meaningful classes using real methodology.
How do I build a weekly or monthly yoga curriculum for children?
Use the 5 Elements Kids Yoga Bundle or the Grounded in Color Collection to structure a full year of monthly themes. Choose a focus like Trust, Power, or Compassion, then design a class around each using poses, breathwork, and heart actions. You’ll have a full calendar of meaningful, progressive classes that keep students returning and engaged.
Other options for weekly or monthly series include repeating mini-flows and adding complexity over time to build skill and confidence. You can also align classes with seasons, SEL goals, or developmental milestones. The Pose Cards and Lesson Plan Template make it easy to structure purposeful classes that go beyond just movement.
How do I use children’s books and storytelling in kids yoga lesson plans?
Use each page of the book as a yoga prompt, or let the kids act out the story using poses. Choose books that match your theme and heart action. For example, a story about bravery can become a Warrior flow. After reading, repeat the poses, reflect, and let kids create new movements based on the story.
Storytelling builds literacy, self-expression, and body awareness. It’s not just enrichment. It’s core to how children learn through yoga.
How can I align yoga lesson plans with SEL or homeschool learning goals?
Grounded lessons integrate Social Emotional Learning through heart actions, breath-based regulation, and connection-centered pose flows. You can map each class to CASEL core competencies using our themes: Trust (Self-Awareness), Power (Self-Management), Compassion (Relationship Skills), and so on.
For homeschoolers, our Homeschool Yoga & Mindfulness Downloadable Toolkit and the printed Homeschool Yoga Starter Pack offer ready-to-use curriculum, printable tools, and regulation sequences designed for home-based learning. These resources provide structure and self-reflection while meeting movement, mindfulness, and literacy standards. The Curriculum & Lesson Plans Collection also includes options aligned with Common Core and SEL goals.
Each lesson can incorporate journaling, reading, or expressive art during the Elevate phase of class. Grounded yoga sequences are an approved activity for Physical Education credit in many states.
What should a beginner-level kids yoga curriculum include?
Start with repetition-based flows, basic alignment cues, and visual aids like Pose Cards. Each class should include a clear beginning, middle and end.
Stick to foundational poses like Mountain, Tree, Down Dog, Cobra, and Resting Pose that you can use in each class. Our Solid Ground Flow is a kid-friendly sun salutation perfect for beginners. Use our Lesson Plan Template and pre-made mini-flows to build consistency. Over time, add co-leading, story elements, and effective rituals to deepen engagement.
