Yoga for Learners
The Carl Ballot Foundation uplifts communities through yoga, environmental gardens, and teacher support, fostering healthier minds, bodies, and surroundings.
Yoga for Learners provides inclusive and age-appropriate yoga sessions in both classroom and community environments.
About Yoga for Learners
Accessible, evidence-informed yoga for classrooms, community spaces, and youth programmes.
Our Yoga for Learners initiative brings developmentally appropriate, inclusive practices into educational settings to cultivate concentration, emotional regulation, and physical wellness.
Designed for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, these programmes partner with teachers and wellness professionals to meet diverse learning needs safely and compassionately.
Why Yoga for Learners?
Kids, teens, and adults learn best when their minds and bodies are in balance. Yoga for Learners provides accessible, age-appropriate practices that support attention, reduce anxiety, and promote resilience.
Benefits include enhanced concentration, improved self-regulation, increased physical awareness, and a calmer classroom climate. All activities are designed with safety, inclusivity, and accessibility at the forefront.
- Evidence-informed approaches tailored to developmental stages
- Mild to moderate physical practice suitable for all fitness levels
- Breathing techniques and mindfulness that fit into a typical school schedule
Adaptations available for desks, chairs, and limited mobility; translations and culturally responsive cues where relevant.
