At my primary school, children can arrive in the yoga room, explore and discover new ways to relax. The yoga course combines movement, imagination, breathing and mindful calm—age-appropriate, playful and without pressure to perform.
A developmentally appropriate space for experience: The yoga course takes place at my primary school and is designed there for children in grades 1 to 6. First- and second-graders need a different approach from children in grades 5 and 6. I therefore adapt language, duration, movement, responsibility and periods of rest to each stage of development.
The basic idea remains the same, but the path changes. These structures are examples and are always adapted to the group, the day and the situation.
Younger children experience yoga mainly through stories, animals, imagination and clear repetition. Movement is lively, while periods of rest remain intentionally short.
As concentration grows, sequences become a little longer. Children can discover connections and repeat their first exercises more consciously.
Older children are offered more choice and learn how movement, breathing and relaxation can support them with school stress and inner restlessness.
