"We know that a supportive environment that combines a focus on wellbeing with a focus on learning is optimal – without one, the other will not happen." - Queensland Department of Education
At Bright Hearts Yoga, we believe every child has the potential to shine, radiating well-being, happiness, and a love of life.
But modern life is making this harder than ever. Social media, academic pressures, technology, poor diet, and reduced physical movement all taking a toll on children’s wellbeing. This is showing up in schools as challenging behaviour, and is affecting young people’s experience of learning.
Our School Yoga Programmes give children and teens practical tools to regulate emotions, improve focus, boost self-esteem, and care for their bodies, laying the foundations for a happy, healthy and purposeful life.
We offer term-based programmes and one-off incursions in primary and secondary schools, tailoring our classes to meet the specific needs of your students and your staff.
-
Year 5 and 6 students feeling anxious about exams or transitioning to high school.
-
Year 3 and 4 students pushing boundaries and displaying challenging behaviours.
-
Year 1 and 2 students struggling to navigate friendships and increasing academic demands.
-
Prep children finding it difficult to regulate emotions.

How Our School Programmes Can Help Your School
Improved Behaviour & Emotional Regulation
We teach students simple, effective tools for calming their bodies and minds. This supports better focus, reduces classroom disruptions, and fosters a more harmonious learning environment for everyone.
A Competitive Advantage for Your School
Parents value schools that actively support wellbeing alongside academics. Our programmes help you offer a balanced education that nurtures the whole child; emotional, social, physical, and intellectual.
Stronger Social Skills & Reduced Bullying
Through fun, non-competitive activities, students learn empathy, respect, and teamwork helping to break down barriers, boosting self-esteem, and reducing incidents of bullying.
Teacher Support &
Non-Contact Time
Flexible delivery options can provide teachers with valuable non-contact time for marking, lesson prep or professional development.
Better Physical & Mental Health
Our sessions combine movement, breathwork and mindfulness to boost physical fitness, encourage healthy choices, and build resilience against stress. Students carry these skills into their daily lives, positively impacting behaviour and engagement.
Ongoing Classroom Mindfulness Tools
We provide tailored resources for teachers so the benefits of yoga and mindfulness continue long after our sessions.
