The Calm Kids Workshop Series: Practical tools in self-regulation, breathing, and restorative yoga to support children and teens with stress relief (3 x Workshops)
Support Children & Teens with Calm, Focus and Resilience
Children and teenagers today are navigating more pressure, stimulation and stress than ever before. The ability to self-regulate — to manage big feelings, calm their body, and find focus — is a life skill that can transform how they learn, relate and grow.
This 3-part workshop series gives you practical, creative tools to help the young people in your care (and yourself) feel more calm, grounded and energised when they need it most. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or work with children and families, you’ll learn easy-to-use, evidence-informed practices that support wellbeing in everyday life.
💡 What you’ll gain:
- Simple self-regulation techniques to help children and teens release tension and manage strong emotions.
- Restorative yoga practices designed especially for teenagers to support rest, recovery and balance.
- Family-friendly breathing tools that can calm, energise or focus the mind — useful for classrooms, homework time or bedtime.
- A clear understanding of the nervous system and how these practices directly support resilience and emotional health.
✨ Includes lifetime access to all 3 workshops, so you can revisit the practices anytime.

- Sylvia, Relax Kids Coach
Specific Breathing techniques have the power to transform children and teens behaviour, energy levels and nervous systems. They can:
- Transform stress, anxiety and worry to feelings of being grounded and relaxed.
- Relieve physical discomfort, pain and tension headaches.
- Shift extreme tiredness, fatigue, lethargy and exhaustion to being awake, alert, energised and focused.
- Eliminate Irritability, anger or frustration within seconds.
- Move feelings of confusion and overwhelm to feeling secure and calm.
- Transform sensations of being physically hot to being cool and calm / feeling physically cold to warm and energised.
Is this you?
Are you a teacher, parent, childcare or health professional who wants to feel confident supporting the children and teenagers in your care?
👉 Do you wish you had simple, engaging breathing practices that actually work — tools kids and teens can use to calm themselves, focus their energy, and feel more at ease?
👉 Would you love to help children aged 2–18 feel relaxed, settled and restored, giving them the space and guidance they need — all through something as simple and accessible as the breath?
👉 Do you see how stress, screen time, hormones, fatigue and modern lifestyles take a toll on young people’s bodies and minds, and want practical ways to ease their tension, headaches and restlessness?
👉 Are you looking for proven breathwork techniques that can quickly shift kids and teens out of frustration, overwhelm, anxiety, confusion or lethargy — so they can get back to feeling calm, clear and connected?
👉 Would it help to have strategies that children and teens can use independently, on the spot, in the middle of daily challenges — whether that’s in the classroom, at bedtime or during moments of big emotion?
👉 Do you want to know how to make breathing practices fun and playful for young children, while making them meaningful and relevant for teenagers, so they actually use them in real life?
👉 And would you love to understand exactly which breathing techniques to use, when and why — so you can confidently guide children and teens in a way that truly supports their needs?
If you’re nodding along, this workshop series was designed for you.

The Workshops
What You’ll Learn in Each Workshop
Each workshop is two hours long, highly practical, and packed with science-based, creative, tried-and-tested techniques. You’ll not only learn what to do but also how and when to use each practice with children and teenagers. Through experiential learning, you’ll step into the shoes of a child or teen, try the practices for yourself, and leave with the confidence - and specific guidance formulas - to guide them in real-life situations.
1. The Calm Kids Toolkit: Self-Regulation Skills for Children & Teens
In this workshop, you’ll dive into the foundations of self-regulation: how children and teenagers manage their emotions, behaviour and energy. You’ll learn:
- Specific, practical self-regulation tools to support children and teens through stress, overwhelm, frustration, and fatigue.
- How to use these techniques in daily life — at home, in classrooms, or during transitions — to prevent meltdowns and build resilience.
- How to guide practices effectively, in a way that feels natural, engaging and age-appropriate.
- Common challenges (like resistance, boredom, or difficulty focusing) and how to overcome them.
2. Recharge & Restore: Calming Yoga Practices for Teenagers
Teenagers often carry tension in their bodies as well as their minds — from long hours at desks and screens, changing hormones, stress, and fatigue. In this workshop, we focus fully on restorative yoga practices designed specifically for 11–18 year olds — practices that give them a safe space to slow down, release tension, and feel restored.
You’ll learn:
- Restorative postures and sequences tailored to common challenges teens face, such as tension headaches, back pain, poor sleep, and stress overload.
- How to adapt and offer variations — because every teen’s body is different, and one size never fits all.
- The most effective ways to use props (and how to improvise with what’s available) so practices are accessible and comfortable for every student.
- A step-by-step formula for confidently guiding teens into restorative poses, supporting them during the practice with relaxation and mindfulness cues, and safely bringing them out.
- How to keep practices relevant and engaging so teens actually connect with them, rather than feeling bored or resistant.
And the bonus? These skills don’t just apply to teens. This workshop gives you a powerful formula you can use in family yoga sessions, adult classes, or one-to-one settings — even if you’ve never taught teenagers before.
This session is packed with some of the most practical, experience-based knowledge I’ve ever shared. You’ll leave with a toolkit of restorative practices that truly work, plus the confidence to guide them in ways that feel effective, meaningful, and deeply calming.
3. Breath as Your Superpower: Practical Breathing Techniques for Children & Teens
Breathwork is one of the most powerful — and overlooked — tools for children and teens. In this workshop, you’ll explore how breathing directly supports the nervous system, the brain, and self-regulation. You’ll learn:
- A wide range of child-friendly and teen-relevant breathing techniques for calming, energising, and focusing.
- How to guide breathing practices in a playful way for younger children, and a meaningful, relevant way for teenagers.
- Exactly when and why to use each technique — whether it’s to calm exam nerves, release frustration, ease headaches, or restore focus after screen time.
- How to encourage independence, so children and teens can use these practices on-the-spot when they need them most.
