About

I am Kata Gyori, mother of two children and currently living in Lisbon. I have created and leading workshops of English Kids Yoga. I would like to make English kids yoga in Portugal more popular. I have been teaching English for over 20 years. I taught in kindergarten, elementary school and also in private institutions.

In language teaching, unfortunately, I often see that the children are often overwhelmed, they do much less movement, they are getting more and more anxious and they have difficulty to control their emotions.

That’s why I started combining language teaching with yoga. By practicing yoga, children can relax more easily, relieve stress and anxiety, sleep better, improve emotional regulation and improve their overall mood.

I am a certified children’s yoga instructor affiliated with Yoga Alliance (I graduated from Marian Csíki – in the system of Yoga Móka, https://jogamoka.hu.). Since 2010 I has been teaching about 300 students for English as a foreign language combining with children yoga in nurseries, preschools and primary schools. In the last 12 years, I have taught outside of Hungary in England, Germany, and in the last 6 years Italy. I saw many types of schools, and I worked with many teachers and kept close contact with parents, I gained a unique experience.

Kids yoga is a great way to release the tension, in a playful environment way, with asanas connected with rhymes, tales, songs, breathing exercises and relaxation. I love my job, it fills me with great happiness when the kids finish the yoga class cheerfully, and they are happy to come back to our next yoga lesson. My goal with child yoga is to bring physical, mental and spiritual harmony in the kid’s life from the early age.

I also work as an adult Vinyasa Flow Yoga and Yin Flow Yoga instructor. I occasionally teach Perinatal Flow Yoga and Mum and Baby Yoga affiliated with Yoga Alliance.
