Yoga & Wellbeing Workshops for Schools and Nurseries in Dubai

End of term. National Day. Book Week. International Day of Happiness. Every school calendar has days that call for something other than another sports rotation or bake sale.

YogaBears brings a full class, year group or whole nursery through a yoga and mindfulness session built around our seven chakra bear characters. No equipment to source, no experience needed from staff, and a session that actually ties back to what schools are already trying to teach: focus, kindness, self-regulation, confidence.

We've run sessions like this for families and communities for over 20 years. Bringing it into Dubai schools and nurseries is a natural next step.

Why Schools Book

Why Schools and Nurseries Book YogaBears

A birthday party has to be fun for one hour. A school session has to work for a teacher managing 20 to 30 children, hold their attention without a screen, and leave something behind once we've packed up the bears and gone.

That's the bar we build every school session against.

No setup required from your team

We arrive with everything: mats, character props, music, the lot. Your staff can join in or take five minutes back.

Built around real emotional skills

Every session ties into one or more of the seven YogaBears superpowers — kindness, courage, calm, creativity — so it slots naturally into PSHE, wellbeing weeks or circle time themes rather than feeling like an unrelated treat.

Works across the whole age range

From messy sensory yoga play for toddlers and nursery children up to structured breathwork and yoga sequences for upper primary, ages 2 through 12 are covered under one brand.

Screen-free, active and genuinely different

After a term of iPads and indoor break times, a session where kids are moving, breathing and laughing tends to land differently than a standard assembly.

Session Formats

Formats We Run

Schools and nurseries don't all want the same thing, so sessions are built to fit the occasion rather than forcing one format on every booking.

End of term celebration days

A full morning or afternoon of yoga, games and character appearances to send children into the holidays on a high.

National Day and cultural celebration sessions

Yoga and storytelling themed around UAE National Day, Flag Day or other calendar moments your school marks each year.

Wellbeing and mental health awareness days

Sessions built specifically around emotional regulation, focus and calm, useful for schools running dedicated wellbeing weeks.

Nursery sensory and messy play sessions

Gentle movement, sensory play and breathing for children aged 1 to 3, adapted from our own YogaBears messy play format already running in Dubai.

Book Week and storytelling tie-ins

The seven bear characters lend themselves naturally to story-led sessions if your school runs a themed reading week.

Ongoing after-school yoga clubs

For schools wanting a term-long enrichment activity rather than a one-off day, we can run weekly sessions as a bookable club.

Staff wellbeing sessions

A shorter, adult-focused version of the same approach, useful for INSET days or staff wellbeing initiatives.

  • Yoga mats for every child (no need for your school to provide anything)
  • An age-appropriate structure, adapted for nursery, primary or mixed groups
  • Music, storytelling and breathing exercises worked into the session

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you come to our school or nursery, or do we come to you?+

We come to you. Sessions run on your premises, in your hall, classroom or outdoor space, so there’s no need to organise transport for a whole class or year group.

What age groups can you work with?+

From nursery children as young as 1 through to upper primary, up to age 12. Sessions are adapted by age — a nursery group gets sensory and messy play, older classes get structured yoga sequences and breathwork.

How many children can one session cover?+

Sessions can run for a single class or scale up to a full year group, depending on space and the number of character hosts booked. Let us know your numbers and we’ll recommend the right format.

Can this tie into what we’re already teaching?+

Yes. Sessions are built around the seven YogaBears superpowers — kindness, courage, calm, creativity, truth, dreams and freedom — so they map naturally onto PSHE, circle time or wellbeing curriculum themes. Tell us your term’s focus and we’ll shape the session around it.

Do you run one-off days or ongoing programmes?+

Both. Book a single celebration or wellbeing day, or set up a weekly after-school club for the term.

How do we get a quote?+

Send us your school name, approximate group size and the date you’re planning for, and we’ll put a proposal together.
