Yoga consciente para niños: clase inspirada en Iyengar para la concentración, el equilibrio y la calma

I am a certified Yoga Teacher with over 10 years of personal yoga practice and 2+ years of teaching experience, currently completing my 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training, which will elevate me to a 500-hour RYT certification. Through my own yoga journey, I’ve gained a deep understanding of practices that resonate with children, especially those with neurodivergent traits. I know firsthand how important it is to have a practice that supports focus, emotional regulation, and calming the mind—tools I integrate into every class to ensure accessibility and engagement for all kids, especially those with diverse learning needs.

While I am not Iyengar-certified, my teaching has been shaped by my exposure to Iyengar principles, which emphasize proper alignment, clear instructions, and mindful movement. I have trained with teachers who emphasize alignment and structured, step-by-step guidance, which is especially beneficial for children, both neurodivergent and neurotypical, as they thrive in a structured environment that promotes focus and builds confidence. These principles help kids learn how to move mindfully and safely, while fostering awareness and body confidence.

I have worked in various settings, including public schools, private sessions, and group classes, where I’ve supported children with emotional, behavioral, and sensory processing needs. I’ve seen firsthand how a structured, alignment-based yoga practice helps children with these needs improve focus, balance, flexibility, and emotional resilience—qualities that are key to helping children thrive in their daily lives. This type of practice is especially effective for children who benefit from clear, step-by-step guidance and a calm, supportive environment.

In this class, we’ll work through 12 Sun Salutation poses, breaking each one down clearly so that children can learn at their own pace. I use my knowledge of alignment and mindful movement to ensure kids move safely, and I offer modifications to accommodate any individual needs, including emotional challenges, sensory processing issues, or physical limitations. Whether your child is a beginner or more experienced, my teaching style supports their progression, fostering confidence, emotional resilience, and a love for yoga.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where every child feels supported, focused, and relaxed. I’m passionate about helping children develop mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-awareness through yoga—tools that will serve them in all aspects of life, especially as they head into their school day. In every class, I strive to foster a positive environment where kids can find balance, develop greater body awareness, and leave feeling calm and confident, ready to take on the challenges of the day ahead.
