Why yoga works for young children
Yoga works for young children when each session feels lively and clear. They learn through short tasks, steady repetition, and active movement that fits their stage.
It helps in key areas:
• Physical growth through poses that build balance, strength, and coordination.
• Focus through quick shifts between movement and calm.
• Emotional regulation through simple breathing that settles the body.
In nurseries, the friendly pace, bright activities, and predictable steps keep babies, toddlers, and preschoolers engaged. Children join in with ease, enjoy the group setting, and gain confidence as they master each new skill.
Yoga that supports EYFS growth
Our yoga programme links with the EYFS through clear, structured activities that build core skills in a nursery setting.
It supports:
• Physical development through controlled movement, balance tasks, and early strength work.
• Communication and language through simple instructions, key words, and turn taking.
• Personal, social, and emotional development through calm breathing, shared routines, and predictable group work.
• Understanding the world through sensory awareness and body awareness.
• Expressive arts and design through playful movement, rhythm, and music.
Each session uses short, accessible steps that match the attention span of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Children stay active, practise self-regulation, and gain confidence as they follow the sequence. This gives staff a reliable tool that fits daily nursery practice and supports EYFS goals.
