There are many excellent Yoga for Children programs available. But do you also practice yoga as a parent? I used to find it daunting to even contemplate trying to integrate my own yoga practice with my child (or partner)!
Family Yoga Classes can empower you to practice yoga with a sense of fun and adventure, as a family. I believe in the power of leading by example. How can we expect our children to incorporate the benefits and practices of yoga into their lives if we don’t understand and practise a little yoga ourselves?
Having a family is the beginning of a lifelong commitment and shared experience. Yoga is not simply a form of exercise, it is a way of approaching life. When we begin to share the practice of yoga with our family, we will soon notice its benefits showing up in many aspects of family living - not just physical health.
There are only two guidelines for Family Yoga:
Be kind
Have fun!
If you and your children are ok with that, then….
Welcome to the Bright Beginnings Yoga Family!

YOGA FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
90MIN WORKSHOP $165
Incorporating yoga practices into the school day is a wonderful way to support children in the school learning environment. They can help to:
energise, motivate or enliven tired children
calm, ground and centre children after a period of heightened activity
regulate little nervous systems
provide fun ways to explore a class theme that invite embodiment and self-expression
and so much more… you can be as creative as you are with your teaching!
In our Yoga for Primary School Teachers workshop, you will learn about the eight facets of yoga (poses are only one of these components!) and learn short, bite-sized practices for each component that you can share with your children right away and that are easily adaptable to the age and interests of your class.
Principals: this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to share Continuing Professional Development with your school staff in a fun and informal environment, whilst providing them with some much-needed rejuvenation at the same time.
