School Programs

Yoga Joy Saigon is proud to offer a program for the community of students and teachers at your school. The program is grounded in science-based exploration of the body, mind and the self. We use mindfulness and yoga to improve and enhance learning, health and personal responsibility. Yoga is the oldest form of mind-body exercise; it integrates the mind, body and breath, developing physical health and mental clarity.  The lessons support children in their intrinsic drive to acquire knowledge, skills and proficiency for active learning to take place. By developing self-awareness and self-confidence, the students and teachers will learn lifelong skills for wellness and problem solving, that we all need to for heath & well-being.

In- School Programs

We have been serving children and teachers in Ho Chi Minh City schools for two years. We work with local and international schools to create yoga and mindfulness programs that serve children before/after school as well as develop programs to integrate yoga into daily curriculum!  We have an amazing kids yoga teachers that specifically travel to schools and bring yoga to kids in fun and accessible ways. We welcome all kids into our program. We prefer to offer 6-10 week sessions to really allow children the chance to understand how yoga and mindfulness can be used as a tool to help them in all aspects of their lives.  We also offer workshops for teachers giving them the practical skills they need to incorporate yoga and mindfulness into their curriculum.

Yoga Joy Saigon provides the school with a sustainable and cost-effective program designed to improve students’ focus, curiosity and engagement in learning. By teaching children to develop self-awareness, self-empowerment and  mind -body connection, yoga and mindfulness helps transform the culture of a school and community.  Yoga Joy Saigon’s In School Yoga Program  transforms the students, school and the greater community.

In & After School Programs–  Bring yoga to you through our In- School & After School Programs serving children of all ages.  Classes can be offered year round or in 6- 10 week sessions. Programs can be individualized to meet the needs of the school.  Our program draws from the basic tenants of yoga- we utilizes a holistic model to engage the creative side of the whole child in a non-competitive environment. Another core aspect of our program is mindfulness. We teach mindfulness to children as a part of the yoga program designed for your school- modifying it to meet the profile of  the children. Included in our classes are:  mindfulness training and skills, yoga postures, yoga games, breathing exercises, relaxation methods, basic anatomy, yoga art, yoga literature, yoga journaling and music & songs.  For more information contact our In-School Programs Coordinator,  Alison  Lockwood by email alison@yogajoysaigon.com
