Yoga Peace School has been serving the Austin community since 2012. Our school is a unique play-based preschool program that unites the mind, breath, and body, providing little yogis starting at 18 months with the foundation of a fun yoga practice and the freedom to express themselves creatively. With an emphasis on social and emotional development through mindfulness and yoga, each child builds strength and confidence through both group work and individual activities.

Yoga is the union of Mind, Breath, and Body. At Yoga Peace School, we bring this ancient philosophy to life for young children through our own Peaceful Approach to Learning (PAL) method, a framework built on three interconnected pillars.

Presence is cultivated through breath work and mindfulness practices that help children slow down, notice their inner world, and build self-awareness. Awareness grows through movement, yoga poses and active play that support self-regulation and emotional attunement. Learning through Community is fostered through daily practices in building trust, resilience, and respect, teaching children how to communicate and navigate relationships with kindness and empathy.

Together, these three pillars create a safe, nurturing space where children can explore, grow, and play, all while developing the tools to become the Peacemakers our world so deeply needs.

Environmental and cultural awareness is also a large part of our PAL curriculum. We take "journeys" around the world, learning about other countries through art, food, and games, and each day we dive into topics like nutrition, visual and performing arts, language, and tinkering. We learn to respect and love nature by growing vegetables and herbs in our own community garden, one small way we reduce our carbon footprint while teaching children where food comes from. We also practice sustainability through composting, minimizing waste, and conserving water and energy throughout our school.

We believe in quality over quantity, which is reflected in our small class sizes, giving each student individualized attention. Our goal is to build healthy, holistic habits by tapping into children's natural curiosity and receptivity. Together, we create a safe, comfortable space filled with hours of pure, peaceful fun!
