Why SEL Feels So Overwhelming in Schools Today


Many educators: 


  • Exhausted by rising mental health and complex learning needs—without extra support

  • Have mandated programs that don’t necessarily fit the interests and needs of students

  • Passionate about SEL, but unsure how to tailor it to their students’ unique needs 

  • Struggle to get buy-in from students and colleagues 

  • Have limited time and bandwidth 

  • Wonder how to assess SEL’s impact 


Meanwhile, some districts and schools are requiring Social Emotional Learning (SEL)... but often provide little guidance or support. 


How to Make SEL Simple, Flexible, and Engaging

Your Roadmap to Integrating Yoga & Mindfulness Into SEL


Here's the thing...


  • SEL fits seamlessly into your day... it’s not “one more thing” to add to your plate.

Backed By Research

Here are 7 evidence-based reasons why adding yoga and mindfulness to your classroom routine can support both learning and behavior*:

✔️ Improves Focus and Attention

Mindfulness and movement practices help students tune out distractions and stay engaged—leading to stronger academic performance and more productive work time.


✔️ Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Regular mindfulness activities lower cortisol levels and support emotional balance, helping students feel calmer and more secure during the school day.


✔️ Enhances Emotional Regulation

These practices give kids tools to manage big emotions, pause before reacting, and recover from setbacks—essential for a healthy classroom climate.


✔️ Builds Social-Emotional Skills

Yoga and SEL activities reinforce empathy, compassion, and positive peer connections—key to reducing conflict and building community.


✔️ Supports Self-Regulation and Behavior

Students who participate in daily mindfulness or yoga often show fewer disruptions, improved self-control, and smoother transitions.


✔️ Boosts Body Awareness and Coordination

Yoga poses and movement games support motor development, balance, and spatial awareness—especially helpful for OT/PT goals.


✔️ Primes the Brain for Learning

Short movement or mindfulness breaks reset the nervous system and prepare the brain to return to learning with focus and intention.


Created by an Elementary Educator for Real Classrooms


I know what it’s like to be a primary school teacher with limited time and loads of curriculum to teach in an engaging and effective manner.  


I also know what it’s like to be a mom with a massive to-do list and commitments galore. 


My daughter is highly sensitive and spirited. We depend on a yoga lifestyle that offers self-regulation tools for life. As I’ve done with my own daughter, I make teaching yoga and mindfulness to kids easy and fun. I’ve done the work so you don’t have to!


"I am using this program in my Kids Yoga classes and in my own Pre-K class. The ideas from the program are working out really well and the teachers are starting to use it in their classes as well. Thank You for putting it all together in one concise package!!"
