The School Yoga Project
Empowering Children with Tools for Emotional Regulation, Focus & Wellbeing
What is The School Yoga Project?
The School Yoga Project is a six-week, in-school wellbeing programme designed specifically for Key Stage 2 (KS2) children. Blending yoga, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques, it equips pupils with practical tools to:
-
Understand and manage emotions
-
Reduce anxiety
-
Improve concentration
-
Develop healthy coping strategies
-
Relax and self-regulate
Rooted in the belief that education should nurture the whole child, this programme addresses essential life skills often overlooked in traditional curricula. Our aim is to support children in becoming happier, healthier, and more resilient individuals.
Curriculum Alignment
The programme closely supports the Health and Wellbeing core theme of the PSHE curriculum, particularly the Mental Health strand. Each session is designed around PSHE learning outcomes and reinforces key concepts through movement, breathwork, and discussion.
Links are also made with the Physical Education curriculum through group and whole-class movement sessions, ensuring a fully integrated approach.

It was really fun. I loved the shoulder stand. I feel the bumble bee breath and snake breath helped me with my anxiety and anger. The Sun Salutations helped me get my energy out.
