About Yoga Peace School
Yoga and Mindfulness in East Austin
Yoga Peace School offers a unique "Peaceful Approach to Learning" (PAL) curriculum that integrates mindfulness, movement, and emotional regulation into daily play. Located in a charming converted home, the facility features sensory-conscious environments like the Yoga Zone and Makerspace, alongside a large 1/3-acre outdoor area with a community garden. Instead of traditional playground equipment, children engage with open-ended materials like Imagination Playground blocks to foster creativity and gross motor skills. The program, founded on yogic principles, serves children with intentionally small class sizes to ensure individualized attention. Educators, known as Peacekeepers, guide students through "journeys" around the world to build cultural awareness while emphasizing environmental stewardship through recycling and composting. With a focus on quality over quantity, the school provides a nurturing, home-like atmosphere designed to develop self-aware and compassionate learners.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Our child has been at Yoga Peace School for a few years, and we LOVE this school. They teach these babies about mindfulness, emotions, and all the things we'd be well-served as adults to learn. The "little red house" campus on Woodrow is closing this year, but the other location (MLK) has been open for a while now. An (one of the founders), Meg (head teacher), and so many other amazing teachers there. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience at YPS, and we are sad to be leaving for 'big kid ' school this fall.
Great community with 7-colored hearts (and spines) in every staff person. Both of my daughters graduated with gratitude for the service of the teachers, founders, and fellow children.
Wonderful group of teachers. We feel lucky to have found this gem.
Most adorable school in the world
