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.”
About me
Hi, I’m Caroline Garland.
I am a fully certified children’s and adult yoga teacher and trainer. Born in Belfast and now based in Minnis Bay, I’m fortunate to live overlooking one of the finest beaches on the North Kent coast. I teach yoga for adults and children, both online and in person.
I have been practising yoga for over 25 years. I first stepped onto a mat seeking balance amid the stresses of everyday life and quickly discovered how much happier and more positive yoga made me feel.
My background is in primary education—I spent 25 years teaching in the classroom. In 2005 I introduced yoga to my pupils and was soon seeing the benefits it brought to their concentration, behaviour and wellbeing. Introducing children to the world of yoga is a joyful and rewarding journey.
In 2006 I founded Yogamoves4kids. For the past 20 years I’ve delivered children’s yoga in nurseries, primary schools and colleges across Kent, and I also provide children’s yoga teacher training, mother-and-daughter sessions, adult classes and 1:1 lessons.
Whether you’re looking to bring calm, confidence and physical activity to a classroom, introduce a child to mindfulness and movement, deepen your own practice, or train to teach, I aim to make yoga accessible, enjoyable and relevant for every age.

Experience
In 2006 I created Yogamoves4kids to fit around life as a mother of two. For the past 20 years I have been teaching children’s yoga in local nurseries and primary schools across Kent.
Drawing on this experience and additional training in children’s yoga and SEN yoga, I designed a children’s yoga teacher training course for ages 2–12. Teaching yoga to children and teenagers supports their physical and mental wellbeing.
Courses are offered online and in person. Prerequisite: applicants should have a minimum of one year’s personal yoga practice before joining any training.
