Things that would horrify a non-kids yoga teacher:

PART 3 👻🧘‍♀️

Apparently you all had THOUGHTS after Parts 1 & 2 😂

So naturally… I had to make another one!

The kids yoga teacher experience includes:

✨ Hearing “CAN WE DO THAT AGAIN?!” after you’ve already done it four times.

✨ Getting ONE child settled for Savasana… only for another one to immediately pop up.

✨ Bringing out a mindfulness instrument and realizing you have approximately 0.2 seconds before:
“CAN I PLAY IT?”
“CAN I PLAY IT?”
“CAN I PLAY IT?”

✨ And the rookie mistake of trying to discreetly get everyone into groups after they have already figured out what the game is. 👀

Kids yoga is peaceful, calming and mindful …

But it can also be absolute chaos with really good intentions!!! 😂🧘‍♀️

And somehow…I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Kids yoga teachers: I KNOW I missed one. 👇

Tell me the oddly specific thing that happens in your classes that would horrify a regular yoga teacher.

I’m collecting the best ones for Part 4! 😂

Today, the rain understood the assignment 🌧️💧

From the moment we arrived at Anoka County Library until the moment we left, the rain poured down.

Which couldn’t have been more perfect for a day spent exploring one question:

What if kids didn’t just learn about the water… but actually experienced it?

During our special We Are Water Yoga & Mindfulness class, we moved our bodies through the journey of water, from evaporation and condensation to precipitation and collection.

Then we slowed down for a story I wrote especially for this experience: a rainy day that leads a mom and daughter into an unexpected adventure… creating a rain stick together!

And finally, our students became the makers themselves, creating their own rain sticks to take a little piece of the experience home. 🌧️

But underneath the yoga, storytelling and creating was something bigger:

Water connects all of us!

To our bodies
To our neighbors
To our communities
And to the world around us. 🌎

And when children can move through a lesson it becomes something they can actually feel.

So yes… the fact that the rain kept falling outside all day felt pretty perfect! 💙

Thank you to Anoka County Library and We Are Water MN for inviting The Mindfulness Movement™ to bring this experience to life.

We are water, and we’re all connected.💧

POV: you tell them to put a skeleton in a yoga pose and suddenly anatomy is a LOT more interesting! 💀🧘‍♀️

One of my favorite things about teaching kids yoga is finding ways to hide the learning inside the play. 🤗

For this Halloween challenge, kids cut out and assembled their own movable skeleton, then experimented with positioning the joints to create a yoga pose.

They thought they were making spooky skeletons…

Meanwhile, we were working on body awareness, movement, creativity, problem-solving and understanding how our bodies move. 👀

💀 Save this for your Halloween kids yoga or SEL ideas, and tell me: what pose would YOUR skeleton do?!

WE MADE MINDFULNESS LOOK LIKE THIS 👀✨

Sometimes mindfulness looks like slowing down... 💤✨

Sometimes it looks like
TAKING A BRAVE LEAP 🏃✨

Sometimes it looks like
BALANCE AND FOCUS 👀✨

Sometimes it looks like
BUILDING TOGETHER 🫶✨

Sometimes it looks like
CURIOSITY & PLAY 🤸✨

That’s the kind of kids yoga and mindfulness programming I want The Mindfulness Movement™ to be known for: experiences children are excited to walk into, and skills that still matter after they leave! 💎

And sometimes... it looks suspiciously like their favorite game

The BEST review from this camp?!

Their biggest complaint was that they wished it lasted longer!!!

🧘🏽💎✨⛏️💚🤸

Pose & Play: Mindfulcraft™ now exists in TWO ways:

1️⃣🚍 Schools, Community Education programs and youth organizations can bring the experience to their students.

2️⃣🧘 Kids yoga & mindfulness educators can use the ready-to-teach digital Mindfulcraft™ resources to create their own experience!

And yes, the Mindfulcraft™ collectible sticker sheet is available too. 💚

Comment MINDFULCRAFT and tell me which side you want:
EXPERIENCE IT 🤸 or TEACH IT 🧘🏻

My secret to surviving Halloween energy in kids yoga? 👻

I don’t fight it… I use it!

October classes come with a special kind of energy. 😂🎃

And one of the biggest things I’ve learned teaching kids yoga is that classroom management isn’t always about getting kids to calm down.

Sometimes they need to MOVE first.

So I build my playlists around what I want the energy in the room to do next:

🧟 Wake them up
👻 Channel the chaos
🪄 Add a little movement magic
🧘 Bring their bodies back down

The songs are fun, but the order is intentional.

Because regulation isn’t expecting kids to stay calm for an entire class.

It’s helping them experience different levels of energy…and practice finding their way back.

And if we can teach those mindfulness & SEL skills while they’re dancing, pretending and laughing?

Even better!!

🎃 SAVE this for your October kids yoga, classroom movement or SEL lessons.

And tell me: what song has your students in a chokehold right now? 😂👇

Follow for more real-life kids yoga activities, playlists & ideas I’m actually using with my students each week.

I’ve discovered kids will practice balance WAY longer when you tell them the floor is a giant spiderweb! 🕷️😂

And honestly? That’s the secret behind so much of what I teach.

They think they’re crawling like spiders, balancing over a web and completing silly Halloween challenges…

Meanwhile, I know they’re practicing:

🕸️ balance & coordination
🎯 focus & attention
🧠 motor planning
✨ body awareness
🖤 self-regulation

The learning is hidden inside the play!

For this one, I simply made a giant spiderweb with painter’s tape and challenged my kids to move across it in different Halloween-inspired ways.

But my FAVORITE way to play?! 👀

Add my Yoga Pose or Dare Cards to the web.

Land on a card → pull it → complete the pose or dare → keep moving… 🎃🧘‍♀️

Suddenly one roll of tape becomes an entire movement activity.

Save this for Halloween week because your kids are going to ask to play it again! 🙌

And if you want my ready-to-print Yoga Pose or Dare Cards, comment DARE and I’ll send the link straight to your DMs. 💌

What if the secret to getting kids to practice mindfulness more…was making it feel less like mindfulness? 👀

That’s something I’ve learned after teaching thousands of kids yoga & mindfulness classes.

If I say, “We’re going to practice our breathing now,” I might get a few breaths.

But give that SAME breath a purpose inside a game, story, challenge or sensory experience?!

They’ll ask to practice it over and over again! ✨

That’s why I create things like our Magical Mindfulness Potions™ 🧪🎃

The kids get to shake their potion, watch everything swirl, slow their breathing and notice as it begins to settle…

They see Halloween magic. 🪄 ✨

I see an opportunity to practice a skill they can eventually reach for when THEY need help settling, too. 🧡

And this philosophy is woven through everything I create inside Teach Smarter™

October’s theme is I AM BRAVE 🕷️ — with an entire month of done-for-you yoga, mindfulness, SEL, games, meditations, printables & Calming Creations™ designed to make BIG skills feel like play. 🤸

Because I don’t just want kids to learn the skill…

I want them to want to practice it!

Comment BRAVE and I’ll send you a peek inside October. 👇

👻 WELCOME TO THE KIDS YOGA TEACHER HAUNTED HOUSE 👻

Where the jump scares include…

✨ Arriving on site and no one knew you were coming
✨ Finding out you have 5 minutes to move an entire library worth of bookshelves
✨ Watching your beautifully placed yoga mats immediately become sleds
✨ Planning 50 minutes of activities that somehow last…17 😭

And somehow we keep showing up with our giant bags of props, games, yoga cards and approximately 47 things we might need. 😂

Kids yoga teachers, what room are YOU adding to the haunted house?! 👇👻

I have a feeling the comments are about to be terrifying. 😅

And if “I still have to figure out what I’m teaching tomorrow” is your personal haunted house…that’s exactly why I created Teach Smarter™ 🧡

Follow The Mindfulness Movement | Twin Cities MN for kids yoga ideas, teacher humor & a whole lot of “yep, been there.” 🧘‍♀️✨

POV: it’s October and your kids yoga teacher bag gets a little… spooky. 🕷️🎃👻

After 5,000+ classes, I’ve learned that the right prop can turn a simple yoga pose, breath or SEL concept into something kids talk about all the way home.

This month my bag is packed with all things bravery, movement & mindful Halloween fun. 🧡

But here’s the part you don’t see:

I don’t just bring these things out and hope for the best. 😂

Every prop, game and printable has a purpose inside the lesson.

And if you’re a kids yoga or mindfulness teacher thinking…

“Okay, but WHAT do you actually do with all of this?”

That’s exactly what I teach inside Teach Smarter™.

October’s I Am Brave curriculum gives you the lessons, games, SEL activities, mindfulness tools & printables I’m actually using with my own students, already planned FOR you!

Comment BRAVE and I’ll send you a peek inside. 🕷️🧡

P.S. Kids yoga teachers: what’s the weirdest thing currently living in YOUR teaching bag? 😂
