In this fun and inspiring episode on "What is Public Health" podcast, we explore how yoga and mindfulness can help kids build focus, emotional resilience, and lifelong healthy habits.
Our guest is Teresa Anne Power, a former lawyer turned international kids’ yoga expert, bestselling author of The ABCs of Yoga for Kids book series and flashcards, and founder of International Kids Yoga Day (on April 4, 2025).
We talk about how she made the leap from law to leading a global movement, what inspired her to create yoga resources for children, and how simple practices like stretching and breathing can have a big impact on kids’ mental and physical health.
Topics we cover include:
The science behind yoga’s benefits for brain development and emotional regulation
How yoga supports kids’ mental health, sleep, focus, and stress relief
Why yoga works for toddlers through teens (yes, even wiggly ones!)
Easy ways parents, teachers, and caregivers can bring yoga into daily routines
The story behind International Kids Yoga Day and how to get involved in the year 2025.
Mark your calendars: International Kids Yoga Day is April 4, 2025!
Teresa offers free resources, yoga routines, and toolkits to help families and classrooms join the celebration.
