Whole school professional development
Our NESA, TQI and South Australia Accredited program is a transformational professional development opportunity.
Research shows that when schools and early learning centres take on a ‘whole school’ approach to the Karma Classrooms program, the benefits extend beyond individual classrooms and into the broader school / early learning community.
Training all educators gives everyone the same tools and language to weave Yoga, Breath and Mindfulness into every day. This supports a common approach where teachers collaborate with each other and affect a health and wellbeing change, both within their own classroom and the school as a whole.
Become a school or childcare centre that supports the development of the whole child, nourishes your teachers, creates positive classroom climates and builds a thriving health and wellbeing culture.

The organisation I work for had organised a training session for us to learn breathing exercises and calming techniques to utilise in our sessions with our children, this has become useful in dealing with heightened behaviours and high energy levels.
Absolutely wonderful class.. Beth is amazing and loved every second of what she had to teach us. Highly recommended. Thank you 🙏🏼
Learning about breathing and it's benefits.
I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a Karma Class workshop. Beth is absolutely amazing! She shared so many valuable ideas and provided us with the tools and techniques to implement the Karma Classroom cards within the daily routine of the classroom. I'm excited to use them not just to benefit the children in my care, but also to support my own growth and that of my colleagues.🥰🙏

A beauitful concept that should be shared across all schools. The resources are simple and easily implemented into your everyday. I can already see there being benefits in my own teaching, as we practice these each day in class. Amazing resources for self regulation and mindfulness for anyone 💚Thank you Beth.
Beth provided us a great tool and strategies that deal with our own wellbeing as well as handling the children’s. Love the way that you let us feel differences through guided experience.
Beth's Karma Yoga class is a truly engaging experience for me. It's a perfect blend of physical challenge, mindfulness practice. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a transformative and rejuvenating mindfulness experience. Thanks Beth!
I really enjoyed this training
and recommend to others too. It's really beneficial.

A wonderful workshop to support you to incorporate mindfulness in the classroom. Highly recommend!
Loved! Loved! Lots of insights on how to incorporate mindfulness in education
An invaluable workshop to teach important life skills to children and adults that can be used in all areas of life. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, teachers and non-teachers alike.
Thank you so much Beth for teaching us practical techniques on how to bring yoga techniques into the classroom. I am excited to start implementing these day to day. I especially loved the idea of Peace Pauses.
The Karma class has been a beautiful and amazing way to learn and teach mindfulness and yoga with my preschool team. Beth has not only taught us tools for teaching the children within our preschool but also how to use these tools on our everyday home life. I enjoyed every moment and would recommend to all my educator friends and services within the area. So so good. Thank you Beth.
Absolutely beautiful day with Beth, helped the team connect to their own understanding of wellbeing and mindfulness.
Gave plenty of practice ways to implement this into the classroom and the day. The examples and practices that were shared are not ones that need to be done in a seperate setting or group time, they are implemented throughout the day.
Would highly recommend for any education setting or parent or even for yourself !
Thank you Beth!

So many great ideas that are ideas for life… So valid in this busy world… And so practical
This class has been wonderful for my 3yr old to regulate his breathing when he’s upset. “Yoga breathing” has been such a helpful way to se-escalate when things get heightened and I’m extremely grateful for this tool! 🙏
Had a great time in our Karma Classes, learned a lot of new tools to make the year better for everyone, it will even benefit my children at home. Thank you ☺️
When the class started I didn’t know what to expect, I was blown away by how much I learnt as an educator and personally! I’ve added more strategies for my own mindfulness practices and can share them with my family and friends too who may be struggling with mental health. Beth’s explanation about some of the different aspects of mindfulness really caters for every being! It’s such an inclusive class and such powerful moments to really remind us of how simple we change our state of mind with more purpose and our breathing. Thank you very much Beth, a great way to start off the year for myself, the children and our learning community! 🙏
The Karma Class provided my team a brilliant morning of insightful discussions and super useful and practical experiences to bring and improve self regulation and mindfulness to each other and our children. Thanks Beth!
I think it's a great experience and tool to help educators utilize the benefits of breathing, mindfulness, and body awareness, supporting children to understand, be aware, and learn how their body functions and responds. I learned a lot!
It was an amazing experience, personally but I can also see the benefit in bringing this into the classroom to learn about feelings and self regulate. Thank you 🙏
My take away- not only support our children’s wellbeing and emotional regulation, but also focus on our own!
Peace pauses are practical and easy to implement in our daily routines.

I have just completed the Karma Class Course via zoom with Beth! I love how interactive the course is and the Karma Class cards are brilliant prompts that I will use both at home with my own children and at Preschool. Beth shared with us her knowledge within the area of yoga and wellness and it is evident that she is so passionate about helping children and teachers begin and continue their mindfulness journey. I cant wait to implement some of the practices within my teaching.
This was an amazing practical and scientifically supported approach to implementing mindful practice into our daily practice. I would highly recommended for all educational settings early childhood through to primary school.
Had a great time participating the training. It was very hands on and practical. Cant wait to implement the strategies and resources offered with the children
This was a beautiful class and I ' m really excited to start the program with my preschool group . I think they'll love it.
Over the weekend my centre had the opportunity of collaborating with the Karma class. Beth was absolutely amazing and the workshop was better than we all anticipated. We will definitely be working closely with Beth and the Karma class in our future!
This was such a great way to learn different techniques to calm down my class. As an educator of 2-3 year olds I now feel equipped to handle even the toughest moments, emotions and behaviours, all through using simple techniques and activities. Thank you so much to Beth who was such a great knowledgeable teacher!
Amazing class for Early education and care , I love it.
Great class easy to follow and perfect to use in the classroom everyday Hands on examples and demonstrations to put into practise
Very useful and valuable information
Walking away from this wonderful training course with a better understanding of how to embed mindfulness into the classrooms and how to support the team with this as well. Was also a lovely morning becoming more in tune with my own well-being. Would definitely recommend
I just did this professional development today and it was amazing and so worth having as a skill in the classroom! Would absolutely would recommend. Jhenae McBay
A wonderful, calming and hands on workshop which outlined practical ways to incorporate yoga and mindfulness into the classroom. Beth covered the practical ways that the Karma cards can be used with children on a daily basis. I am looking forward to implementing the cards with my preschool children. I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and felt more calmer afterwards!
I firmly believe that all Educators should get involved in this type of training with "the karma class" understanding the importance of uniting body, breath and mind for a more effective practice creating more meaningful learning environments for today's children. Thanks so much for step by step tips Beth. also the the resources are lovely.
Ahhh big breaths… what an amazing course! If this sparks your attention, just do it. The amount of knowledge I just received and this community I am now apart of is invaluable. I cannot wait to incorporate everything I have learnt and will be learning for my families, my own family and for our children to create healthy habits to carry them through life. I hope every educator will take the time to learn these life skills too.
What a fabulous workshop. Beth is a wonderful facilitator teaching the importance of mindfulness for adults and children. Highly recommended for all those that work with young children.
so much valuable information and not only for children but as educators!!! thank you
Useful to support children in early childhood and school and all areas of your life.
Loved this work shop and I think it is going to make a big difference to the kids I teach
What a wonderfully accessible and thought-out way of working with wellbeing in any classroom! The course presented exercises that are adaptable to different developmental stages. It was great for resetting the classroom culture and caring for teacher wellbeing. I highly recommend it.
Beth was amazing. The Karma Class training provided some great practical tools we can use for our own well-being as educators and to support the children’s emotional well-being and success for life. I would highly recommend this training to all teachers and educators.
Amazing interactive workshop with great ideas and insights. I especially like the karma classroom cards to refer to.
Very interactive and meaningful. Lots of practical ideas to implement
Very helpful and relaxing
It's was very useful for me in my personal life and my work place
Good
I really enjoyed it. I have some ideas of how I can start these actions and help the children.
It was a great class to attend.
Great karma class. Loved how it related to my own well-being and that of the children and workplace I work in. Recommend it!
Such a great class to feel strong and calm down. Beth you were amazing!!
The Karma class was stimulating and very beneficial. The facilitator really knew their stuff. I would definitely recommend The Karma class to colleagues or anyone who wants to learn about the Karma classroom.
A fantastic collection of strategies and resources. The A5 cards are comprehensive, well made and very easy to navigate, making them perfect to use within the classroom. The PD itself was via Zoom and - like all the best PD - incorporated some great hands on activities + discussions with teachers from K-12. Highly recommend for educators looking to build a calm classroom. The strategies are also great for staff!
Very well organised and something that can be transferred into the classroom for any age group.
