About me
Hi, I’m Caroline Garland
I am fully certified children & adults yoga teacher and trainer.
I live in Minnis Bay, overlooking one of the finest beaches on the North Kent coast, teaching, adult’s & children’s yoga classes online and in-person.
I have been practicing yoga for over 25 years, I first stepped on a mat to try to find balance from the stresses of life, I soon noticed how happy my yoga mat made me feel.
As a primary school teacher teaching in classrooms for 25 years, in 2005 I decided to bring yoga into my own classroom. I soon discovered how beneficial yoga is to children’s well-being. Introducing children to the world of yoga is such a beautiful and positive journey.
I created Yogamoves4kids in 2006 and have been teaching yoga in local nurseries, schools & colleges around Kent for nearly 20 years.

Experience
In 2006, Yogamoves4kids classes was created to fit around my life as a mother of two children and I now teach in local Nurseries and Primary schools for 18 years in Kent.

TESTIMONIALS
“I have been working with Caroline for a large amount of years. Caroline is always happy, patient and caring towards all children. They enjoy Caroline coming in to the nursery and are always engaged in her classes. Caroline has a brilliant imagination which keeps every session alive and interesting. The children never get bored of her classes and always ask when she is visiting next.”
“Highly recommend Yogamoves 4 Kids. Caroline goes above and beyond to put you at ease, to answer any questions or concerns, and gives exceptional teaching and instructions. I not only learnt a lot on the 3-day course I did but I really enjoyed it! It was so much fun and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to others who are interested in wanting to teach yoga to children. I’m a trainee teacher, and I have left feeling more equipped and confident for my future career, as well as have lots of ideas and aspirations for taking this into classrooms and schools.
Fun, informative and exciting.”
