About Our Programs
About Our Programs
Welcome to BALANCE Workshop Programs! We offer unique, yoga-based programs focused on developing social-emotional and resilience-building skills through a multimodal approach.
The initial catalyst for designing our programs was to help combat the effects of trauma. While this remains a core focus, our programs support personal growth for participants of all backgrounds.
Our mission is to make these programs accessible to families by equipping organizations with facilitators to offer these unique experiences. Through yoga, mindfulness, and interactive activities, participants learn to navigate life's challenges with resilience, empathy, and positive communication skills.

What are BALANCE Workshops for Kids?
Fostering social-emotional growth and resiliency is the goal of our workshop model. By integrating yoga principles, we connect to social-emotional learning standards. Our core model program includes eight 2-hour sessions. Our research-rich, fun, and interactive approach enables us to promote lifelong skills for children ages 5-10 and their families!
This multimodal program is sure to captivate participants. Each lesson focuses on one of the core yoga principles and includes literature, a craft, a game, as well as a short yoga sequence.
One of the unique features of this dynamic program is the family component. Family participation is a great opportunity to engage families in your facility and helps these important lessons become lifelong skills.
Why Implement BALANCE Workshops?
BALANCE Workshops support resilience, social-emotional development, and healthy relationships through research-informed, trauma-aware programming for children, families, schools, and community organizations.
Resilience Starts with Connection
Research has shown that the development of meaningful relationships has been impactful in promoting resilience, especially for young children in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Mentors Make a Difference
When caring mentors establish relationships with students, it can have a positive influence on their social-emotional development and help create a stronger sense of safety, trust, and belonging.
Schools and Programs Matter
Historically, schools and community-based programs have proven effective as both prevention and intervention for children at risk, making them powerful settings for meaningful support.
Trauma-Aware Tools for Wellness
The number of children and families who are experiencing or have experienced trauma is on the rise. Children affected by trauma may have difficulty forming relationships with adults and peers. Yoga and mindfulness activities support stress management, as well as general health and wellness.
BALANCE Workshops for kids provide an opportunity to connect with families!
