Therapeutic Breathing Practices for Children
For kids yoga teachers, school teachers and carers.
“When the breath wanders, the mind is unsteady. But when the breath is still, so is the mind.”
— Hatha Yoga Pradipika
​
How can we bring this timeless wisdom to life for children and teens?
After two decades of working with children, teens, and families, I’ve witnessed how the way we introduce and guide breathing practices makes a profound difference. The link between breath and stress is clear - and learning how to share this understanding with young people is both powerful and essential.
What to Expect
This one-day CPD retreat style workshop is designed to explore the benefits of breath awareness and therapeutic breathing practices for children and teens.
You'll be introduced to research-informed tools and accessible techniques that support emotional regulation, resilience, and self-awareness, while also inviting curiosity and play.
