As summer winds down and the school year approaches, many children (and adults!) feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. New routines, academic pressure, social challenges, and the loss of summer freedom can stir up big emotions. That’s where yoga steps in—not just as a movement practice, but as a mindset tool.
Why Yoga for Back-to-School?
Yoga helps calm the nervous system, regulate emotions, and create a sense of safety and balance—something every child needs when transitioning into a new school year. Simple breathing exercises, mindful movement, and grounding poses give kids real-time tools to manage worry, focus their attention, and build confidence from the inside out.
