Jaselle Lovisi, Founder of Sydney Children’s Yoga
Yoga has been part of Jaselle’s life since 2007, and she has been teaching yoga since 2011. As a Certified Children’s Yoga Therapy Specialist, her approach to children’s yoga draws on traditional yoga, children’s yoga therapy, and breathing practices to support children through movement, breath and relaxation.
After many years teaching yoga, Jaselle began working with children and became fascinated by the way they respond to movement, breathing and relaxation. She has a particular interest in supporting children’s self-awareness, attention and emotional regulation through developmentally appropriate yoga.
Today, Jaselle works with children in schools, early learning centres, OOSH services and community settings across Sydney, creating opportunities for children to move, breathe, rest and simply be children.
Training and Experience
Jaselle is a Certified Children’s Yoga Therapy Specialist and has completed extensive training through Zenergy Yoga, including all children’s Yoga Therapy courses.
She regularly assists at Zenergy Yoga’s Kids Yoga Teacher Training programs, supporting the training of future children’s yoga teachers.
Committed to ongoing professional development, Jaselle continues to deepen her knowledge in traditional yoga, yoga therapy and breathing practices.
A Lifelong Practice
Yoga has been a consistent part of Jaselle’s life for almost two decades. Over the years, it has become more than a physical practice, shaping the way she approaches wellbeing, relationships and everyday life.
This long-term personal practice influences the way she works with children today. Her classes encourage children to slow down, pay attention to themselves and become more aware of how they feel, how they respond to challenges and how they relate to the people around them.
These are skills that support children not only in yoga classes, but in everyday life.
Creating Space
Children today are navigating busy schedules, increasing demands on their attention and fewer opportunities to simply slow down.
Through movement, breathing, relaxation and play, yoga provides children with opportunities to become more aware of their bodies, practise attention and experience moments of calm within their day.
Yoga creates space for children to connect with themselves, others and the world around them.
