More than
children's yoga.

YogaBears® isn't adult yoga made smaller. It's a complete wellbeing world of movement, yoga, breathwork, music, storytelling, creativity, mindfulness and play, helping children understand themselves from the inside out.

Children meet the bears through movement, yoga and play, giving them a memorable character for each superpower they're learning to find in themselves.

Children hear "calm down" and "be brave" all the time, but rarely learn how. We bring it into the body: children move it, breathe it and play it, not just hear it. We don't just tell children to be confident, we help them feel what confidence feels like. The superpower was never inside the bear. It was inside them all along.

Created by Estelle McCluskie

For over 20 years, Estelle has worked with children and families, building a method that brings together movement, emotional wellbeing, storytelling and play.

Her mission is simple: give children the tools so many of us spend adulthood trying to learn.

  • How to understand themselves
  • How to believe in themselves
  • How to use their voice
  • How to breathe through big feelings
  • How to come back to calm
20+ Years of experience
with children & families

Maybe it's confidence. Maybe it's finding their voice. Maybe it's just remembering how good it feels to breathe.

We're here to help them discover it.
