Rise Up Kids Yoga & OT (RUKYOT) helps children and teens build confidence, resilience and wellbeing through meaningful fun! Combining yoga, movement, mindfulness, breathwork and emotional regulation strategies, sessions are designed to help young people feel calm, connected, capable and empowered — all while having HEAPS of fun.
What makes RUKYOT unique is the integration of evidence-based Occupational Therapy knowledge and skills within yoga and wellbeing practices. Programs are thoughtfully designed using Michelle’s extensive experience as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to support emotional regulation, sensory processing, self-awareness and a more balanced nervous system. Activities are engaging, age-appropriate and intentionally created to support children’s physical, social, emotional and cognitive wellbeing.
At RUKYOT, children learn best when they feel safe, comfortable and connected. Through creative and playful experiences, kids are encouraged to explore, move, create, relax and develop practical wellbeing strategies they can use in everyday life.
Programs are led by Michelle Roberts — an accredited Children’s Yoga Teacher and highly experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapist with over 20 years’ experience supporting children and families.
Meaningful Fun + Wellbeing = Empowerment.
Because life isn’t about avoiding the puddles — it’s about learning to dance (or do yoga!) in them.
