The One Thing That Calms Kids When Nothing Else Works (Kids Yoga & Classrooms)

When breathing doesn’t work. When movement doesn’t work. When nothing seems to settle the room. This is the one simple strategy that has supported learning readiness, attention, and calm decision-making in my kids yoga classes and classrooms more times than I can count.

In this video, I share:

• what to do when common regulation strategies don’t work

• why some brain breaks and movement breaks actually increase cognitive load

• how to respond calmly when children are overstimulated or unfocused

• one practical, embodied strategy that supports attention and regulation for both children and adults

This approach is especially helpful when:

• children are loud, restless or struggling to focus

• behaviour strategies aren’t working • breathing techniques don’t land

• screen time has impacted attention and transitions

• you feel overwhelmed or unsure what to prioritise

Rather than trying to control behaviour, this strategy supports:

• learning readiness

• attention and engagement

• smoother transitions and brain breaks

• regulation for learning

• calm, psychologically safe classrooms

This video is for:

• classroom teachers

• early years educators

• kids yoga teachers

• anyone supporting children in screen-heavy, fast-paced learning environments
