Hi, I'm Irina Kazakevic.
Being a yoga practitioner and a school teacher for over 20, years as well as a yoga and children’s yoga teacher for more than a decade, I’ve been doing yoga with kids everyday.
During all these years I’ve taught thousands of yoga classes, yoga breaks, presentations, clubs and retreats to children. I’ve worked with many different ages and in a variety of settings, creating yoga lessons from two minutes to two hours.
I’ve done all day yoga immersions for the whole school, presentations for parents and children, girl scouts, Montessori schools, summer camps, school clubs and many more different formats of introducing yoga to children.
Every one of those classes required planning. And I’ve done it all!
When I was just starting it took me hours to create a single yoga class. I needed to come up with a theme, possibly find a book, picture, a song or something else to engage the kids. Then I had to create a yoga pose sequence, pick a breathing exercise and write a script for a meditation to match my theme. Because I was teaching children I also needed to make it age-appropriate by including an art activity and games. If I wanted my yoga classes to be connected with my academic program I had to integrate it into a school curriculum.
Being very passionate about kids yoga, I was planning, selecting, creating and writing almost every single day. I was happy to treat my students with a yoga class on a daily basis. As a result I’ve created many children’s yoga classes and other resources.
Recently, after going through my many files, binders and boxes, I clearly saw that it’s time to share.
I realized that by offering these resources to children’s yoga teachers, just like you, I can help them to be more efficient, more organized, professional, inspired and fun kids yoga teachers.
And now, I am excited to make all these kids yoga lesson plans available to you!
I know for a fact that by using ready-to-use lesson plans, you will:
- save time on planning your kids yoga classes
- get original new ideas to be used in yoga classes throughout the whole month, every month
- have professionally planned kids yoga lesson plans
- get lessons organized in a well structured monthly kids yoga unit
- educate children about yoga, not just entertain
- teach new as well as review past material
- use arts in your yoga classes to promote kids’ self-expression
- play yoga games to make it fun
All the yoga lessons are organized into

Let me tell you why a kids yoga unit works better than a random single lesson.
When I just started to teach children’s yoga I was so excited about how many fun yoga classes I can create using an unlimited amount of themes and topics. So, this is what I did for a while.
With time I noticed that while my students are having a great time in my yoga classes, they are not really remembering or learning much.
It was puzzling. I was working so hard on planning the best classes I could, teaching them, putting my whole heart into it and still my classes didn't produce the results I was expecting.
After much observation, analyzing and testing I finally figured it out.
I wasn't what I taught in my classes or how I taught. It wasn’t the content, it was the structure of each class as well as the sequences of the classes.
Though it was kids yoga lesson plans that I was working on, I used my teacher’s university education and years of experience to come up with the optimal lesson structure and then organize the individual lessons into monthly units to create an optimal learning experience for children.
When I started to design and organize my classes using the new, scientifically proven method, everything changed. My students became true little yogis that knew the poses, breathing techniques as well as when and how to apply them outside of yoga classes.
And this is what I want for you! I want to help you teach the best children’s yoga classes possible, using a proven method and planned-for-you children’s yoga lesson plans.
