The Power of Play and Rest in Kids Yoga with Liz Hansen
About this episode
Liz Hansen discusses the importance of play and rest in kids yoga and the impact of teaching children these practices.
In this special episode of Take Up Your Mat, we’re joined by Liz Hansen, a mom of four, former teacher, and Holy Yoga instructor who helped bring our Kids Training to life. Liz shares her heart behind teaching kids yoga, how God led her into this work, and the powerful impact she’s seen when children are given space to move, breathe, and connect with Him. From playful moments in class to the beauty of final rest, this conversation is a reminder that kids don’t just need movement… they need peace, tools, and truth they can carry into everyday life. We talk about what makes teaching kids different from adults, the unexpected joy (and challenges) that come with it, and why starting these practices early matters more than ever in today’s world. If you’ve ever felt a pull toward working with kids, or simply want to create meaningful moments of connection with your own children, this episode will leave you encouraged and equipped. Ready to take the next step? Our Holy Yoga Kids Training is now available, designed to give you the tools, confidence, and structure to bring this practice to life in your home, community, or classroom.
