Kids Yoga

Sonia’s approach to teaching is playful, inclusive, and grounded in compassion, creating a safe and welcoming environment where children of all ages and abilities can explore movement and mindfulness. She believes yoga is for everybody and every body, tailoring her sessions to meet the unique needs of her participants.
Her classes inspire creativity, self-awareness, and personal growth. Combining warmth, authenticity, and expertise, Sonia empowers children to feel confident and connected. With her rich teaching background and specialized training in trauma-informed yoga and yoga therapy, she brings a unique energy to every session, ensuring that each child feels seen, supported, and safe.

Yoga and mindfulness offer children more than just physical activity—they promote holistic growth. Yoga improves flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness, while mindfulness sharpens focus, emotional regulation, and social skills. These practices also build resilience, helping children approach challenges with confidence and calm.
Sonia’s programs encourage children to develop an awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and bodies, aligning perfectly with the Montessori philosophy of self-reflection and emotional growth. With a trauma-informed approach, she ensures that children feel emotionally safe and supported, allowing them to explore movement in a way that feels right for them. Through creative and playful activities, children cultivate a positive self-image, strengthen emotional intelligence, and experience an enhanced sense of well-being. This foundation supports healthier relationships, greater happiness, and lifelong personal growth.

Children’s yoga is a world of imagination, movement, and fun. Unlike adult yoga, the focus is not on perfecting poses but on fostering joy and exploration. In Sonia’s mindful movement program, children embark on imaginative adventures that encourage creativity, self-expression, and personal awareness.
• Movement Games – Energetic, interactive activities designed to inspire joy and physical exploration.
• Creative Sequences – Playful and imaginative yoga flows that encourage self-discovery and freedom of movement.
• Mindful Moments – Simple mindfulness exercises seamlessly woven into games to enhance focus and relaxation.
• Storytelling and Songs – Engaging narratives and songs that spark creativity and make learning enjoyable.
• Partner Poses and Teamwork – Activities that nurture trust, collaboration, and connection.
• Open Sharing – A safe space where children can express thoughts and emotions, building confidence and empathy.
Sonia’s trauma-informed perspective ensures that every child is given the freedom to explore movement at their own pace, creating a safe and empowering experience.

Mindful movement creates a space where children can explore, play, and connect with their natural curiosity. By integrating mindfulness and movement, children develop essential tools to manage their emotions, build strong relationships, and enhance social-emotional skills.
With her background in yoga therapy and trauma-informed yoga, Sonia understands how movement can support emotional well-being and resilience. Her approach encourages children to:
✔ Regulate their emotions through breath and movement
✔ Develop body awareness and self-confidence
✔ Build focus, patience, and problem-solving skills
✔ Feel a sense of inner calm and connection
Yoga is not just about moving—it’s about connecting. Sonia teaches children to listen to their minds and bodies, empowering them to foster a deeper relationship with themselves and the world around them. These lessons set the foundation for a balanced, joyful, and fulfilling life.
