Why Movement with Meaning Matters
Helping Kids Build Calm, Confidence, and Connection—One Wiggle at a Time
Between school drop-offs, snack negotiations, and the eternal bedtime dance, parenting young kids can feel like a nonstop sprint. For many families, carving out intentional moments to slow down and connect can feel impossible—especially when screens, stress, and sugar highs are in the mix.
That’s where Pogie the Yogie steps in.
Pogie blends playful, kid-friendly movement with simple mindfulness habits—like deep breathing, balancing, and naming emotions. It’s not about “doing yoga perfectly” or checking boxes. It’s about helping kids feel strong, safe, and seen while giving parents practical tools to bring a little calm into the chaos.
Our episodes are designed for busy families who want more connection and less overwhelm—no yoga mat or Pinterest-perfect space required.
Tip for Parents
Add a 5-minute “Pogie Break” to your afternoon routine. Pick one movement (like Star Pose or Tree Balance) and one mindfulness prompt (like a balloon breath or a feelings check-in). That’s it. In just five minutes, you can help your child regulate their emotions, shift their energy, and feel more connected to you.
