Forget Teacher of the Year. I want THESE awards!
🏅😂

Teaching kids yoga & mindfulness is approximately 10% peaceful breathing and 90% saying things like…

“Find your own personal space.”
“Your body doesn’t have to look like mine.”
“Yes, you can wiggle.”
“Please keep the eye pillow on your EYES.”
And, somehow… “Please stop licking the yoga mat.” 😂

But somewhere in all that beautiful chaos, the kid who said “I can’t” tries.

The kid who walked in with BIG feelings discovers something that helps their body feel a little calmer.

The kid who usually sits on the sidelines joins in.

And the kid who didn’t believe they could do it suddenly says, “WATCH ME!” 🥹

Those are the wins I want a medal for. 🏅💗

Okay, teachers, parents & anyone who works with tiny humans: what ridiculously specific award did YOU earn this week?

Wrong answers absolutely encouraged. 😂👇

Fall crafts… but make them calming. 🍂🤎

Some of my favorite mindfulness activities with kids don’t look like mindfulness at all…

They look like squishing pumpkin spice play-doh. 🎃
Watching leaves slowly fall through a sensory bottle. 🍁
Creating with nature. 🌻
Making breathing feel like a game. ☀️
Getting messy with sensory slime.
Or making a tiny keepsake for someone we love. 🤎

But while their hands are busy creating, kids are also practicing something much bigger:

Slowing down. Noticing. Breathing. Using their senses. Expressing big feelings. And discovering what helps their bodies feel calm.

That’s why I love Calming Creations™ so much!

The craft is fun. But the skills they take with them is the whole point. 🥹

I put together a few of our fall favorites—save this one for the next chilly afternoon, classroom activity, or cozy fall weekend. 🍂

Which one would your kids pick first? 🎃🍁☀️

The “ber” months just hit different when you teach kids yoga! 😂🍂

Suddenly every leaf is a breathing activity, every tiny pumpkin is a yoga prop, and I can find a mindfulness lesson in basically ANYTHING seasonal. 😂

🍎 September = fresh starts & new routines
🎃 October = tiny pumpkins EVERYWHERE
🤎 November = gratitude & all things cozy
❄️ December = Snow-Ga season

I swear I wait all year for these months. 🥹 There’s something extra magical about helping kids slow down, move, create and connect during a season that can get so busy.

Teachers, parents & fellow fall lovers: which “ber” month wins for you? 🍎🎃🤎❄️

I’m personally going to have a very hard time not choosing October. 🥰

😂🧘‍♀️ Kids yoga teachers are built different.

Because somehow none of this even phases us anymore.

A yoga mat becoming a burrito? Expected.
A peaceful breathing exercise becoming aggressively loud? Of course.
Someone needing the bathroom the SECOND savasana starts? Every. Single. Time. 😭

After 5,000+ classes, I’ve learned something important: teaching mindfulness to kids doesn’t always LOOK calm.

Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s loud. Sometimes someone is upside down when they absolutely were not asked to be. 😂

And somehow… those are often the classes I love the most. 💕

Kids yoga & mindfulness teachers: what’s something completely normal in YOUR classes that would shock everyone else? 😂👇

I already feel a Part 2 coming…

⭐️ Gold Star Behavior: Kids Yoga Teacher Edition

After teaching 5,000+ kids yoga classes, my definition of a “good” class has changed quite a bit.

I’m not looking for perfectly quiet kids, perfectly still bodies, or everyone doing exactly the same thing.

I’m looking for choice, connection, movement, regulation & belonging. 💓

Sometimes the child watching from the edge is participating. Sometimes the wiggles are exactly what their body needs. And sometimes abandoning the lesson you spent forever planning is the best teaching decision you make. 😂

Our goal isn’t to teach kids to be compliant. It’s to help them understand their bodies, notice what they need & build tools they can actually use beyond the mat.

⭐️ Teachers, what would YOU add to the Gold Star list?

🍂 Kids yoga & mindfulness teachers: don’t overcomplicate your fall lessons!

Some of the activities my students love MOST are also the simplest. 🎃

My Pumpkin Spice Yoga Cards have made their way into so many of my classes over the years, and I’m constantly finding new ways to use them:

🎃 Draw a card during morning meeting for a quick movement break
🍂 Add them to a calm-down corner for a body reset
🎶 Play “Pass the Pumpkin” — when the music stops, draw a card & try the pose
🧘 Use them for balance challenges, yoga games, transitions & more

You really don’t need an elaborate lesson to make mindfulness feel magical to kids.

Sometimes it’s one mini pumpkin, one yoga card, and a room full of kids excited to move! 🥹

And after teaching 5,000+ classes, that’s become one of my biggest philosophies: meaningful doesn’t have to mean made-from-scratch.

🎃 Want the Pumpkin Spice Yoga & Mindfulness Cards I use with my students? Comment PUMPKIN and I’ll send you the link!

✨ And if you’re a kids yoga, mindfulness or SEL teacher thinking, “Can someone just plan the whole lesson for me?” — that’s exactly why I created Teach Smarter™, my monthly done-for-you curriculum membership.

Comment SMARTER and I’ll send you those details instead. 🤎

Which fall activity would your kids love most: morning movement, calm corner or Pass the Pumpkin? 🍁

If your kid loves Minecraft… imagine telling them THIS is what they’re doing on their day off school 👀💎

I took the world kids already love and brought it off the screen and into real life with MindfulCraft™—a morning of Minecraft-inspired movement, building, creating & mindfulness.

Kids will:

⛏️ tackle movement & obstacle-course missions
🧘 turn yoga poses into Minecraft-inspired adventures
🧱 work together on building challenges
💎 create their own MindfulCrafts
🌿 practice breathing & regulation along the way
💚 build confidence, teamwork & connection

Basically, they think they’re going on a Minecraft adventure!

I know we’re sneaking in movement, creativity, problem-solving, mindfulness & SEL. 😉🙌

And Minnesota families can experience it in person this month!

📍 New Brighton Community Center
📅 Monday, September 21

🍂 New Brighton families, we start TOMORROW!

Kids spend so much of their school day listening, transitioning, following directions and holding it together...

So when they come to Mindful Movement Kids, we don’t ask them to do MORE...

We move, play, breathe, and laugh! 🧘‍♀️✨

And underneath all that fun, they’re practicing some pretty big life skills:

🤍 noticing what’s happening in their bodies
🤍 identifying big feelings
🤍 finding tools that help them regulate
🤍 building confidence & connection
🤍 learning how to slow down and reset

Because emotional regulation doesn’t have to feel like another lesson...

It can feel like play! 🥹

Our September Mindful Movement Kids session begins tomorrow, September 8, and we still one last-minute spot available!

📍 New Brighton Community Center
🗓 Tuesdays
⏰ 5:05–5:55 PM
🧒 Pre-K–5th Grade

If you’re local and think your child would love this kind of space after school, comment YOGA below and I’ll send you the registration details. 💕

🍂📚 Kids yoga & mindfulness teachers… add these to your fall bookshelf!

There’s something about fall that makes storytime & movement feel extra magical. Maybe it’s the cozy weather, the changing leaves, or the fact that kids are SO ready to pretend they’re hiking through a forest, becoming a tree or stretching alongside a story. 🥹

A few of my favorite autumn yoga & mindfulness books:

📸 Trish’s Fall Photography by Kids Yoga Stories — such a sweet way to practice noticing colors, textures & the little details around us.

🏕️ Claire’s Camping Adventure by Kids Yoga Stories — perfect for bringing nature, imagination & movement together.

🍁 Stretch: A Yoga Story by Rose Harkness — a playful way to introduce yoga through story and movement.

🎃 Little Mouse Adventures: Halloween Yoga by Teresa Anne Power — one of my favorite not-too-spooky picks for October.

One of the things I love most about teaching mindfulness this way is that kids don’t have to sit perfectly still to practice it.

They can move. Notice. Imagine. Breathe. Connect.

That counts, too! 🤎

Save this post for your fall lesson planning because October has a way of sneaking up on us. 😂🍁

And now I need YOUR recommendations:

School is exhausting for kids, too. 💗

Especially during these first few weeks back.

New teachers. New routines. New expectations. New friendships. By the end of the school day, that can be a LOT for little bodies and brains to hold.

Which is exactly why I love what happens after that final bell. 🥹

While students are finishing their school day, I’m down the hall unrolling yoga mats, turning on the music and getting ready to welcome them into Mindful Movement Kids Yoga Club.

Then they come straight from their classroom to me.

We move. We play. We laugh. We breathe.

They get to shake off the school day, connect with friends and practice mindfulness & emotional regulation skills without it feeling like one more thing they have to “learn.”

It just feels FUN! 💕

And for busy Minnesota families, one of my favorite parts is how easy it can be:

🧘‍♀️ Yoga happens right at their school
🎒 Kids come straight from their school day
🚌 At participating schools, students can take the district activity bus home afterward

No extra trip across town. Just a pretty wonderful way to end a very big day.

📍 Mindful Movement Kids Yoga Clubs are enrolling in schools throughout Mounds View, White Bear Lake & Roseville!

If you have an elementary-aged kiddo in one of these districts, comment YOGA and I’ll point you toward registration for your school. 💗

And if you know another local parent whose child would absolutely LOVE this, tag them or send this their way! ✨
