What is Rainbow Yoga?
Human Mandala
Family Yoga
Evidence-informed joy
Play is not a decoration. It is serious learning wearing a brighter outfit.
Research on school mindfulness, yoga, movement, guided play and educational relationships points toward something Rainbow Yoga has practised for decades: children learn best when they feel safe, active, connected and invited to participate.
Yoga and mindfulness, adapted for children
Reviews of school-based yoga and mindfulness describe promising outcomes for attention, self-regulation and wellbeing, with an important caution: study quality varies, and the practice must be age-appropriate.
Play with purpose
Guided-play research supports a balance of child choice and sensitive adult guidance. That is why our games have intention, adaptation and reflection, not just noise and movement.
Relationship is part of the method
Research on belonging and teacher-student relationships links supportive connection with stronger social, emotional and learning outcomes. Rainbow Yoga trains adults to lead connection, not just poses.
We do not promise medical or therapeutic outcomes. We teach practical, human, adaptable tools you can use within your professional, family or community role.

Excellent short program to understand kids' needs when it comes to yoga. Gopala offers great, easy to follow explanations and loads of examples. I tried some with my little daughter and we had so much fun together. Thank you Gopala & Rainbow Yoga Community!
