Sensory Circuit Yoga Mats – Set of 12
Introducing our brand-new Sensory Circuit Yoga Mats: a portable, versatile solution that brings sensory regulation to life anywhere in your school.
Each mat features a bold, simple stick-figure illustration of a yoga pose, clearly labelled and set against a bright, colour-coded background. Children can instantly see what to do and copy the pose independently, which makes the mats ideal for pupils of all ages and abilities, including those who benefit from visual prompts and minimal verbal instruction.
Simply set them out for movement breaks, sensory sessions or classroom transitions, then pack them back up for easy, space-saving storage. They’re perfect for halls, classrooms, corridors, OT spaces and shared areas.
The 12 Poses Included
Aeroplane, Boat, Butterfly, Cat, Child, Cow, Down Dog, Star, Tree, Up Dog, Warrior 1 and Warrior 2.
Together, the poses offer a balanced mix of movement. Energising, alerting poses like Star, Aeroplane and Warrior help wake up the body and build strength. Balancing poses like Tree and Boat develop core stability, focus and coordination. Calming, organising poses like Child, Butterfly and Cat/Cow support relaxation and help children settle and feel ready to learn.
How They Help
Whether you’re supporting sensory processing needs, promoting self-regulation or building movement into the school day, Sensory Circuit Yoga Mats offer a practical, engaging and fully portable way to enhance wellbeing and readiness to learn.
They support proprioceptive and vestibular input through stretching, balancing and weight-bearing poses. They build gross motor skills, including balance, coordination, posture and body awareness. They encourage independence, because clear visuals let children follow a circuit with little adult support. They promote calm and focus through slow, controlled movement and breathing. They also suit inclusive use, being accessible for mainstream classrooms, SEND provision and nurture groups alike.
Ideas for Use
Lay the mats out in a line or loop to create a sensory circuit at the start of the day or after lunch. Use a few at a time for quick brain breaks between lessons, or select calming poses for a wind-down session. The distinct colours make it easy to give instructions like “move to the red mat” or to group poses by type. The mats also work well in PE warm-ups, wellbeing sessions, OT and physiotherapy programmes, and at home.
