Happy Me Kids Yoga

17/06/2026

This one’s for our kids yoga teachers (and of course parents, caregivers, and educators looking for fun ways to connect, play, and learn with children).

Here’s a little peek inside the Playing Poses part of a Happy Me Kids Yoga class. This one is all about our bird friends. 🦉

This lesson plan is designed for our preschool age group. We often use the same themes across Baby & Me Yoga, Preschool Yoga, and Kids Yoga, but adapt the activities, facts, and discussions for each age and stage. The theme stays the same—the way we explore it grows with the child.

Playing Poses is just one part of our Happy Me class formula. There’s so much that leads up to this part of class, but you can absolutely use these activities on their own. And we are alllll about weaving nature and educational concepts into mindful movement. 🦅

➡️ Swipe to the end to see one fun way we introduce walking meditation to children.

We love using simple props like beanie babies and glitter jars to bring themes to life and make learning feel like play—but all you really need is a little imagination.

Online manual and teacher training coming soon. 💛

One of our favorite mornings of the summer is back. 🐠

Stingrays & Yoga for Kids returns to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium on June 28.

We’ll play yoga beside the stingrays, discover how different sea creatures move through the water, and end with a peaceful shhh-vasana in the shark tunnel. Before the Aquarium opens to the public, families will have the chance to enjoy a quieter, more relaxed experience with all their favorite aquatic friends.

Each registration includes early Aquarium access, all-day admission, and a special take-home keepsake.

We can’t wait to play yoga under the sea with you.

🌿 So much fun at Preschool Nature Yoga today!
This month’s theme was Ohio State Animals, and we spent the morning moving, learning, and playing our way through some of Ohio’s wild neighbors.

🦌 White-tailed Deer — we tiptoed quietly through the forest and practiced big deer jumps. Did you know deer can jump as high as many adult humans?

🐞 Ladybug — we curled up into tiny ladybug balls and learned how ladybugs help gardens by eating pests that can damage plants.

❤️ Cardinal — Ohio’s state bird. We spread our wings and flew like cardinals. Male cardinals stay bright red all year, while females are a softer tan color.

🦎 Spotted Salamander — Ohio’s state amphibian. These secretive creatures spend much of their lives hiding beneath logs and leaves, so we rolled ourselves up in our mats and tucked away just like salamanders.

Now for a challenge...
Do you know Ohio’s state frog? 🐸
What about Ohio’s state reptile? 🐢

One of our favorite parts of Nature Yoga is weaving local wildlife and nature facts into our movement, stories, games, and adventures.

Our next Nature Yoga classes are Sunday, July 12 at West Creek Nature Center:

🌿 Preschool Nature Yoga (ages 2–6) | 10:30 AM–12:00 PM

🌿 Kids Nature Yoga (ages 7+) | 1:00–2:30 PM
Both classes include yoga with Happy Me Kids Yoga followed by a nature craft or outdoor activity led by our amazing partners at Cleveland Metroparks.

Registration opens June 20 through Cleveland Metroparks. These classes tend to fill quickly, so mark your calendars. 💚



(And for the record, Ohio’s state frog is the bullfrog and our state reptile is the black racer snake! 🐸🐍)

Nature Yoga is back this Sunday at West Creek Nature Center. 🌿

One of the things we love most about this class is that it feels like so much more than a yoga class. We spend the morning moving, playing, and creating together inside the Nature Center, and after class many families make a day of it—exploring the trails, visiting the animal friends, or spending time in the play area.

We’re incredibly grateful for our partnership with Cleveland Metroparks and for a place that has become such a special part of the Happy Me community.

Ages 2–6
Sunday, June 14
10:30–11:15am yoga class
Nature craft included

We love our glitter jars ✨

Every child in our classes gets their own glitter jar to practice big, sparkly breaths and build a tool for calm they can take home and use again and again.
Here’s how we make them:

✨ Add 1–2 inches of chunky glitter (fine glitter settles too quickly)
✨ Fill the bottle with room-temperature water
✨ Add a small amount of clear glue to help the glitter drift and settle more slowly
✨ Hot glue the lid shut to keep the sparkles safely inside

Then shake, watch, and breathe.

As the glitter begins to settle, take long, loud, windy breaths and watch the sparkles slow down while you do, too. It’s a simple reminder that big feelings, busy days, and overwhelming moments don’t last forever. Sometimes all we need is a pause, a few deep breaths, and a little time for things to feel a bit calmer and clearer again. 💜

June is here, and so is our summer lineup ☀️

This month we're returning to some of our favorite places — including Preschool Nature Yoga at West Creek Nature Center and Stingrays & Yoga at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium. June also brings back our monthly Mommy & Me Yoga class at Forte Lakewood, along with library favorites and new community partnerships throughout Northeast Ohio.

One of my favorite parts of Happy Me Kids Yoga is getting to bring yoga into so many corners of our community. From libraries and nature centers to schools, parks, and community spaces, these places become opportunities for kids to move, play, connect, and simply be kids.

We're incredibly grateful for the organizations that continue to welcome us back year after year, and for the new partners trusting us to bring yoga to their families for the first time.

Cleveland is filled with people who care deeply about creating meaningful experiences for children, and we're so lucky to be a small part of that.

Swipe through to see where we'll be this month. We can't wait to play yoga with you. 💛
