This 3.5-hour Youth Yoga Workshop offers an introduction to trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, and somatic practices for working with children and teenagers. Drawing on over 15 years of experience as a social worker and 10 years as a trauma-informed yoga teacher, Beata Heymann shares practical, evidence-based tools to support young people’s emotional regulation, mental health, and overall wellbeing.
The workshop is suitable for yoga teachers, educators, caregivers, parents, social workers, wellbeing practitioners, and anyone interested in supporting youth from Kindergarten to Year 12. No previous yoga teaching experience is required.
Participants will explore age-appropriate movement, breathwork, mindfulness, sound, and simple meditation practices, alongside guidance on structuring youth-friendly classes and activities that are inclusive, culturally sensitive, and responsive to diverse needs.
This experiential workshop provides practical take-home tools, inspiration, and foundational skills for confidently engaging young people in yoga and mindfulness across a variety of settings.
