At School Early Childhood Train the Teacher Program
Tara Yoga & Dance Program & Activities
The Tara Yoga and Dance Program & Activities have been running for several years in early learning, early learning centres, primary schools, and high schools. The program has been designed to enrich children’s lives to have a fulfilling experience with yoga and dance taught by our tutors.
Our core values are delivering Yoga and Bollywood dance that is authentic and culturally appropriate to positively impact the children’s lives as well as supporting children’s growth and wellbeing.
How does it work?
Early Learning Centre
We deliver the program at your centre weekly. We teach a combination of yoga and/or Bollywood dance to all children in attendance on your designated day and time. This can look like 4 weeks yoga and 4 weeks Bollywood fusion dance or anything customised to suit your centre. Each week we layer in new activities to embed what we are teaching.
Unlike other programs we are not paid by parents but by the centre which means that every child can participate. This also engages centre staff and educators as it is a learning experience for everyone.
What is unique about your services and activities?
We work with our centres to guide you on how children can gain the best experience. For ongoing classes, we issue:
• Lesson plans
• Activities including asanas (movement), pranayama (breathwork), language skills, relating the natural world and the animal world to their world
• Meditation and mindfulness time
• Music
• Safe, age appropriate practices from babies to schoolies
• Sound equipment
Who runs the activities and services?
ABOUT US
The program has been developed by Sunita who is an experience and passionate Yoga teacher, dancer, trainer, Speaker and Mindset Coach. She has worked with babies to seniors, people with disabilities and special needs.
TUTORS

Tutors have as a minimum:
• Children’s Yoga training
• Dance experience and training
• Police Clearance

SCHOOLS
We can run any of our services dance and/yoga during term time as weekly classes, as incursions, participate at events such as Harmony Day or any other special events.
Do you run activities during vacations or as one off incursions?
Yes. Just contact us and we can customise something for your event.
Why Yoga and Dance?
Yoga and Bollywood are both from India and both are intrinsically linked. The program aims to provide children with a cultural experience in the form of dance, music, language, mindfulness and movement. Did you know there are common aspects within yoga and different types on Indian dance styles like Bollywood?
What is Bollywood Fusion Dance?
Bollywood is a fusion of many styles of dance depending on the theme and genre of the song. Each song is selected for its appropriateness to the age group being taught. The songs are usually taken from a Bollywood movie.
How does this benefit children?
The importance of regular movement and exercise has been proven to benefit everyone many times. In addition, learning mindfulness activities as early as possible in a child’s life can help them in many ways including: regulating emotions, learning new strategies to cope and manage stress, problem solve and navigate through their world.
Where do you offer your services?
Our programs are running all over the Perth area. We can offer our services as far south as Bunbury region.
If you are located in any other regional areas, we would love to work with you too. We have been able to negotiate servicing local regional communities where local schools, early learning centres and youth centres have worked together and organised a servicing remote community over a period of time.
We will work together to make it happen!
Can I ask the early learning centre my child attends to run this?
Yes!
