Yin and Restorative Yoga for Kids and Teens

Yin and Restorative Yoga for Kids and Teens
One-Day Training for Educators, Therapists, Parents and Youth-Focused Professionals

A different kind of calm for a fast-moving world

Children and teens today are often overwhelmed, overstimulated, and disconnected from their bodies. Yin and restorative yoga offer a powerful counterbalance—inviting stillness, deep rest, and nervous system regulation in a way that feels safe, accessible, and effective.

This one-day training will teach you how to thoughtfully adapt these traditionally adult practices into developmentally appropriate, engaging, and trauma-informed experiences for kids and teens.

What you’ll learn

• How to safely and effectively teach Yin and restorative yoga to children and adolescents

• Age-appropriate language and sequencing that keeps kids engaged without overstimulation

• Techniques to support emotional regulation, anxiety reduction, and improved focus

• How to integrate mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle somatic practices

• Trauma-informed approaches to create a sense of safety and choice

• Practical tools you can immediately use in therapy sessions, classrooms, or groups

Who this training is for

• School counselors and educators

• Therapists (LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, play therapists)

• Parents and other caregivers

• Yoga teachers interested in working with youth

• Occupational therapists and helping professionals

• Anyone supporting children and teens with emotional or behavioral needs

Why Yin & Restorative for kids?

Unlike more active forms of yoga, Yin and restorative practices slow everything down. They help children:

• Settle their nervous systems

• Build body awareness and emotional insight

• Develop patience and tolerance for stillness

• Experience deep rest in a safe, supported way

These are skills many kids don’t naturally get—but deeply need.
