International School Hilversum

Service Description

KEYs after school yoga program brings the joy of movement to every child, regardless of their energy level or ability to sit still. Using Kidding Around Yoga, we combine upbeat music, playful movement, and age-appropriate meditation techniques that work for wiggly, energetic kids just as well as quieter ones. Children explore yoga poses through games, storytelling, and interactive activities that keep them engaged and excited to participate. There's no pressure to be perfect or stay completely still—we celebrate each child's unique way of moving and being. Through dynamic sequences set to kid-friendly music, children build strength, flexibility, and body awareness while having fun with their friends. Our sessions incorporate breathing exercises disguised as playful activities, helping kids develop tools for self-regulation and emotional wellness without ever feeling like they're being asked to calm down or change who they are. Whether your child is naturally high-energy, a daydreamer, or somewhere in between, they'll find their place in our inclusive yoga community. Each class ends with brief, child-appropriate meditation practices. Meditation might include guided imagery adventures, or simple mindfulness moments to introduce relaxation techniques. Our goal is to help every child discover that yoga is for their body, exactly as it is, and to give them lifelong tools for managing stress, building confidence, and expressing themselves through joyful movement.
