Whole school professional development
Our NESA / TQI Accredited and APST aligned 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.

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.
This course was gentle and participative. I am sorry I do not teach my own class. I hope to encourage my school to get this as a skill across the whole staff. It was great!
I found it very interesting
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.
The training is so beneficial to educators as it not only teaches us how to support children with their self-regulation but also how to care for ourselves. So many amazing strategies that we can take back to our services.
so much valuable information and not only for children but as educators!!! thank you
The Karma Class was such amazing training that’s is one relaxing and connect to your mind, body and spirit. Highly recommend to all Educators !

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.
A wonderfully vibrant and interactive workshop that introduces many mindfulness practices that can be incorporated into any teaching environment to support children’s well being
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.
Such a great hands-on course with relevant information to helping teachers and students in today’s fast-paced environment. Beth was great and got us moving and putting the new tools into practice.

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!
After the chaos of the last few years, the course has been a refreshing reminder that we can help our children to be mindful, conscientious citizens. Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to support their own, and their children's wellbeing
Very well organised and something that can be transferred into the classroom for any age group.
I‘ve loved the course and how Beth provided us with a great tool box of skills on how to incorporate Yoga and mindfulness in our classroom. I can’t wait to integrate the beautiful Karma Classroom Cards into our school‘s everyday life.
This was a wonderful professional development that allowed me to learn the skills necessary to implement yoga poses and bring more mindfulness into our early childhood learning environment.
It’s practicable knowledge and you can do it with children as young as 2 years old. It helps me to improve my own well-being as well
Beth’s uplifting and spirited teaching style, coupled with her expertise in teaching, mindfulness and yoga radiate. She is thorough, knowledgeable and understands the needs of educators and children especially, fostering relativity and empathy. Insight and new practices were shed, learned and reflected upon. A course worth investing into. This is to mention the practical array of resources supplied for post course and classroom support for wellbeing practices. Grateful Beth. Thanks.
The Karma class was a great workshop that provided a range of really useful resources to use in the classroom. It was insightful and interesting, and provided great practical experiences that will greatly enhance the classroom environment. I love the focus on educator wellbeing as well as the children’s well-being. Thank you Beth.
This course is highly recommended to help bring mindfulness to the classrooms. I was well inspired and engaged in learning tips and ways to encourage children to breath and be mindful. The cards are also the best resource that came with the course. I will bring them to work to use tomorrow. Thank you Beth!
A fantastic practical course for a calmer atmosphere in the classroom!
A comprehensive presentation by Beth. I gained some invaluable tips and insights that I look forward to implementing within the classroom. I highly recommend the investment in yourself and your professional practice.
❤️An interactive and fun class with Beth who has so much passion and love for bringing Yoga, Breathing and Mindfulness to everyone without age limitations. Thank you Beth! The cards and resources are incredibly well thought out and useful.
I really enjoyed todays session with Beth. She gave us lots of ideas that I could use in my preschool class within the routines of each day. Lots of physically challenging fun for energetic kids. An opportunity for educators to engage with young children to develop resilience, a sense of belonging and positivity. Thankyou Beth 👌
This is exactly what I needed to continue on our mindfulness journey in our classroom 🫶🏼 can’t wait to continue the journey with the tools from today . 🙌🏻 Thank you Beth !
I loved this workshop with Beth! It was so hands on and full of practical ideas that I intend to use in my classroom. Thank you 😀
I thoroughly enjoyed completing this class with Beth. I will be able to use so many aspects of the course with my preschool group. I am excited to start using the mindfulness techniques on Monday 😀
I loved the class, it was very interactive. The cards provide great suggestions and variations which are suitable for young children and educators. Will definitely utilise these resources at preschool to support children’s wellbeing needs.
Thoroughly enjoyed the the ‘Yoga, Breath and mindfulness for kids’ workshop. I can not wait to implement what I have learnt today in the classroom.
The workshop has also assisted me as an educator to look at strategies to implement for my own mindfulness and wellbeing.
Thank you The Karma Class 😊

This PD workshop was beyond amazing in terms of discovering mindfulness tools and techniques to navigate moments of stress and anxiety! The Karma Classroom Cards have a wide range of poses and breath techniques that ultimately create the perfect classroom environment when used with our students. Cannot recommend this more! You have to do it. Thankyou Beth xx
Thanks heaps to Beth for creating the Karma class. I met and connected with some like minded people who are all yoga fans.
I like the session because I’ve taken away some great ideas that I could offer to my children at work, myself, my family, colleagues etc. The presentation was really cool! I give it an A+.
