Yoga Classes for Kids in Edinburgh
Bala Yoga that feels like play and works like training
Children today sit more than any generation before them, hunched over tablets, homework and school desks. Bala Yoga gives that body somewhere else to go: animal poses, yoga stories and breathing games that open the hips and shoulders, and a short calm at the end that a restless child genuinely learns to settle into.

Bala Yoga that feels like play and works like training
An adult yoga class shrunk down for children loses them in ten minutes, because holding a pose and counting breaths is not how a seven-year-old engages. Bala Yoga is built the other way round, from play towards practice, so the child keeps coming back and the posture and focus arrive almost without them noticing.
Edinburgh’s Indian families are mostly here for the universities, the hospitals and financial services, and many are first generation, in Scotland for a posting that has turned into years. The community is small enough that a specialist class rarely exists locally at all.

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For yoga classes for kids that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for GMT/BST. Classes fit the gap between school and dinner, 4:30 to 7:00 PM on weekdays, with Saturday mornings too; holidays are planned around Scottish term dates..
“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”
Yoga Classes for Kids in Edinburgh, FAQs
Restless children often enjoy it most, because the class is built around movement, stories and games rather than holding still. Batches are small, so the mentor keeps every child involved by name.
