3 Ways to Incorporate Yoga Into Your Kids’ and Tweens’ Lives This School Year
September is here, and with it comes the energy of a fresh school year. Between new schedules, homework, and after-school activities, kids and tweens can sometimes feel overwhelmed. Yoga is a wonderful tool to help them balance it all—building focus, calm, and confidence while keeping their bodies active and strong.
At Llamaste Family Yoga, we believe that introducing yoga to your child’s routine not only nurtures their physical well-being but also provides them with lifelong skills for mindfulness and self-care. Here are three ways you can easily incorporate yoga into your child’s school year:
---
1. In-Studio Drop-Off Classes at Llamaste
Give your child the gift of a mindful reset by bringing them to our Brooklyn studio. Our kids’ and tweens’ yoga classes are designed to be fun and engaging, with creative flows, breathwork, and movement that encourage self-expression. Parents can drop off their children and enjoy some well-deserved “me-time” while knowing their kids are practicing healthy habits in a safe and welcoming space.

2. After-School Yoga Programs
Find out if your child's school offers after-school yoga programs. Having a class at school makes for a convenient way for kids to wind down from their day and re-energize before heading home. Through games, stretching, and guided relaxation, children learn how to manage stress, improve focus, and build resilience—all while having fun with their peers.

3. Create a Mini Yoga Routine at Home
Even just 5–10 minutes of yoga at home can make a huge difference in your child’s day. Start simple—try a few poses like Mountain, Cat-Cow, or Child’s Pose before bed or after homework. These small practices help kids feel grounded and calm while teaching them that yoga can be part of their everyday routine, not just something done in a studio.
