Growing Gurus Yoga supports the wellbeing of the entire school community. Our programmes strengthen emotional wellbeing, resilience, focus and relationships—benefiting learners, teachers, parents and school leadership alike.

Instead of simply delivering weekly sessions, we become a trusted wellbeing partner that complements your school's educational goals.

 

Helping Children Thrive Everyday:

Children develop practical lifelong skills that help them succeed academically, socially and emotionally.

 

Benefits include:

• Improved emotional regulation
• Increased concentration and attention
• Better listening skills
• Reduced anxiety and stress
• Stronger resilience
• Increased confidence and self-esteem
• Improved body awareness and coordination
• Healthy breathing techniques for self-regulation
• Better classroom participation
• Positive peer relationships
• Increased empathy and kindness
• Conflict resolution skills
• Growth mindset
• Independence
• Healthy coping strategies

 

Children don't simply learn yoga—they learn skills that help them succeed in the classroom, on the playground and throughout life.

 

Benefits for Teachers:

Growing Gurus Yoga is designed to complement—not add to—a teacher's workload. Teachers benefit because emotionally regulated children create calmer, more productive classrooms.

 

Benefits include:

• Fewer classroom disruptions
• Better learner engagement
• Improved attention during lessons
• Easier classroom management
• Shared emotional regulation strategies
• Practical calming techniques children already know
• Improved learner relationships
• Greater emotional awareness across the class
• Support for inclusive education environments
• Reinforcement of positive behaviour expectations

 

We equip learners with skills that make teaching easier. Teachers often notice children settling more quickly after sessions and are calmer during the school day.

 

Adding Value to Your School Community

Growing Gurus Yoga helps schools create a positive culture that supports learning, wellbeing and behaviour.

 

Benefits include:

• Supports whole-school wellbeing initiatives
• Aligns with social-emotional learning outcomes
• Contributes to positive school culture
• Promotes respectful relationships
• Supports learner mental wellbeing
• Complements Life Skills and Life Orientation

A proactive wellbeing programme reduces behavioural challenges before they become bigger problems.

 

Supporting Families Beyond the Classroom:

Parents often notice changes at home as children naturally take their wellbeing skills home.

 

Benefits include:

• Children learn healthy ways to manage big emotions
• Improved confidence
• Better communication
• Increased independence
• Positive bedtime and breathing routines
• Practical calming strategies for stressful moments
• Stronger emotional vocabulary
• Improved resilience
• Better family conversations around feelings
• Reinforcement between school and home

 

Our parent communication also helps families reinforce wellbeing practices outside of school, creating consistency between school and home.

 

Evidence-Based Benefits

Our programmes incorporate practices supported by research in:

• Mindfulness
• Movement-based learning
• Breathing techniques
• Emotional literacy
• Positive psychology
• Child development
• Social-emotional learning

 

These approaches have been associated with improvements in attention, emotional regulation, resilience, classroom engagement and overall wellbeing.
