Yoga Can Help™
Are you a SCHOOL TEACHER who wants to incorporate yoga in the classroom?
To begin a yoga practice with your students, you need an engaging way to introduce yoga to children.
Once your students love and want to do yoga, you will be able to use effective yoga practices to help your students calm down when they are overexcited, energize when they are sluggish, or focus before taking a test.
Using yoga breaks throughout the school day will keep you and your students fresh, enhance learning and greatly reduce stress.
Are you a CHILDREN'S YOGA TEACHER who is looking for a fun and educational way to introduce yoga to new students?
When starting yoga classes with a new group or children, it's important to grab their attention and demonstrate how fun and beneficial yoga is.
As a kids yoga teacher, you need to convey to children that these benefits are not limited to being strong and flexible.
Using a variety of teaching tools, you can present yoga practices as helpful and effective to manage children's energy, mind, and emotions.
Are you a PARENT who is eager to start doing yoga with kids and don't know where to begin?
You don't need to be a yoga teacher to do yoga with your children.
All you need is a helpful guide to introduce the basic yoga practices to children, incorporate them into their daily schedule and help children to deal with many different situations and issues.
You can use yoga to relax before bed, enhance physical activity, or focus while doing homework.

Hi, it's nice to meet you!
Hi, I’m Irina Kazakevic.
I’m an elementary school teacher, yoga teacher and a well-being educator.
I began teaching yoga to children behind the closed doors of my classroom more than 15 years ago. At that time, when I went to my principal and asked to buy a yoga manual for our school, he kindly agreed, but warned me that he doesn’t see yoga being a part of the school system in the near future. Fortunately, he was wrong, and within two years of that conversation, I was teaching official yoga classes in my school.
My search for the optimal way to teach children’s yoga began. I researched numerous programs, became certified in kids yoga and was constantly on the look out for new and progressive research in children's yoga.
After teaching hundreds of children's yoga classes, I developed the course Yoga Can Help ™ on how to introduce yoga to children to grab their attention and demonstrate how fun and beneficial yoga is. My passion continues to be studying methods and techniques that allow me to know myself better and give me the tools for self-realization and growth.
My “feel good,” “this is me in my zone” type of work is teaching these practices and helping my students of all ages to gain skills and confidence to make changes to improve and evolve.
I share my passion of teaching yoga to children by offering professional development and coaching in my school board, at conferences, in workshops and through the children's yoga teacher certification training.
I founded Yoga Break for Children™ live and online programs to train, support and empower yoga teachers, educators and parents in their work of bringing the benefits of yoga to children.
What you need to know when you start yoga with children:
- The purpose of the first few yoga classes should be an invitation for children to fall in love with this helpful and practical discipline.
- By demonstrating how the core yoga practices work and their application, we are empowering children to use yoga regularly in their everyday lives.
- Making yoga fun and engaging by using metaphors, books, games, songs and a variety of props will create an age-appropriate, positive and inviting environment.
- That is why the way you introduce yoga to children at the very beginning, in any setting or format, is crucial in determining if they like it, practice it and use it.
- During the first few classes you can make the children fall in love with the practice of yoga and set the foundation for a long-term, continuous and enthusiastic practice.

This is what some of our graduates say
about the course:
Hi Irina, I completed the video Yoga Can Help™ and I wanted to let you know that I think your metaphors to teach the three core yoga practices are brilliant. Easy to do with kids and it’s so easy for kids to make the connection with abstract concepts. Can’t wait to do them with kids!
Carla Dragnea Children's Yoga Teacher
It’s been such an incredible experience doing Yoga Can Help™ with my daughter. She took to the Yoga Can Help chant right away. She loved doing it and repeating after me. We even added a little move that I really love. This morning, when we woke up she wanted to do Yoga Can Help chant immediately.
Erika Levy Yoga Teacher, Parent
I’m applying The 3 A’s of Well-Being Method in my private life right now! I’m doing the Yoga Can Help™ course to not only help children learn these techniques but also because I need to learn them and apply them for my own well being.
