Kids and adults practicing Rainbow Yoga together in a circle — Shared movement

Watch the feeling

Rainbow Yoga makes more sense when you see it moving.

The play, connection, stories and group work are not extras. They are how the training turns ideas into real teaching skills.

What is Rainbow Yoga? The movement behind the method

Human Mandala Connection you can see

Family Yoga Joy across ages

Evidence-informed joy

Play is not a decoration. It is serious learning wearing a brighter outfit.

Research on school mindfulness, yoga, movement, guided play and educational relationships points toward something Rainbow Yoga has practised for decades: children learn best when they feel safe, active, connected and invited to participate.

Yoga and mindfulness, adapted for children

Reviews of school-based yoga and mindfulness describe promising outcomes for attention, self-regulation and wellbeing, with an important caution: study quality varies, and the practice must be age-appropriate.

Play with purpose

Guided-play research supports a balance of child choice and sensitive adult guidance. That is why our games have intention, adaptation and reflection, not just noise and movement.

Relationship is part of the method

Research on belonging and teacher-student relationships links supportive connection with stronger social, emotional and learning outcomes. Rainbow Yoga trains adults to lead connection, not just poses.

We do not promise medical or therapeutic outcomes. We teach practical, human, adaptable tools you can use within your professional, family or community role.

Great program

Excellent short program to understand kids' needs when it comes to yoga. Gopala offers great, easy to follow explanations and loads of examples. I tried some with my little daughter and we had so much fun together. Thank you Gopala & Rainbow Yoga Community!

Very useful tools

Thank you for this short but complete training. I find a lot of useful tools to use with kids.

Fun fact filled Training

Loved this very informative and helpful. I completed this training pre doing a kids yoga class for the first time. They loved it really made it special for them.
