FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

Private Sessions
 
Is this therapy?
No. These sessions are trauma-informed and supportive, but they are not psychotherapy or a replacement for mental health care.
 
Do I need yoga experience?
Not at all. Many clients are new to yoga or have had difficult experiences in traditional classes.
 
Can this support me alongside therapy?
Yes. Many clients use private sessions as nervous system support alongside therapy, coaching, or other care.
 
Are sessions virtual or in person?
Sessions may be offered virtually or in person depending on availability.
 
What if I don’t know what I need?
That’s okay. Sessions are collaborative and adapt in real time.
​
Do parents stay in the child's session?
This depends on the child’s age, needs, and comfort level. Parent involvement is always discussed and consent-based.
 
What ages do you work with?
Sessions are offered for children ages 6+ with practices adapted to developmental needs. Sessions are also offered to adults 18+ years old.
​
My child doesn’t like yoga. Is that okay?
Yes. Sessions are not about poses, they are about regulation, safety, and connection.
 
Can this support my child alongside therapy or OT?
Yes. Many families use these sessions as complementary nervous system support.​
 
Zen Warrior Creative Club 
 
What ages is Zen Warrior Creative Club for?
This program is designed for children ages 6–12. Groups are intentionally kept small, and activities are adapted to meet a range of developmental needs within this age range.
​
Does my child need prior yoga experience?
Not at all. No previous yoga or mindfulness experience is required. All movements and activities are taught in an accessible, playful, and choice-based way.
 
Is this a therapy or counseling program?
Zen Warrior Creative Club is not therapy. It is a trauma-informed, therapeutic-style enrichment program that supports emotional regulation, confidence, and self-awareness through yoga, mindfulness, play, and creative expression.
While many of the practices are supportive of emotional well-being, this program does not replace mental health treatment.
​
Is this program supportive of neurodivergent children?
Yes. This program is intentionally designed to be neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive. Activities are flexible, sensory-aware, and choice-based. Children are never forced to participate and are encouraged to engage in ways that feel safe and comfortable for them.
 
If you’d like to share specific needs or accommodations ahead of time, you’re welcome to do so during registration.
 
What does a typical session look like?
Each 60 to70- minute session includes:
  • A grounding arrival and check-in
  • Trauma-informed yoga and movement
  • Mindfulness and nervous system education
  • Play-based games and/or creative activities
  • A closing circle with reflection and affirmations
     
Sessions follow a predictable structure to support safety, trust, and regulation.
 
What should my child wear or bring?
Children should wear comfortable clothing they can move in. Yoga mats and materials are provided. Water bottles are encouraged.
 
What if my child needs a break during class?
Breaks are always allowed. Children are encouraged to listen to their bodies and take space when needed. Observation, rest, or quiet engagement is always respected.
 
How many children are in each group?
Groups are kept small, typically 6–12 children, to ensure individualized attention and a supportive environment.
 
Is parent participation required?
Parents do not participate in the sessions themselves. However, you may be asked to complete a brief intake form before the program begins to help ensure your child is supported appropriately.
 
What if we miss a session?
Because this is a closed-group program, missed sessions cannot be made up. However, your child is welcome to return the following week, and brief session summaries may be provided when appropriate.
 
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Due to limited group sizes and advance preparation, refunds are not available once the program begins. If cancellation occurs prior to the start date, credit may be applied to a future program at the discretion of Zen Aromas and Wellness.
 
How do I know this program is right for my child?
Zen Warrior Creative Club is a great fit for children who benefit from gentle structure, movement, creativity, and emotional support. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out with questions before enrolling.

Is your podcast beginner-friendly? I’ve never practiced yoga before.
Yes! The practices and discussions are always inclusive and invitational. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to explore.
 
How is this podcast different from other yoga podcasts out there?
We focus specifically on trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming practices. That means no pressure to perform, no pushing through pain, and no one-size-fits-all approach. We honor choice, consent, and body autonomy in every episode.
 
Are there guided practices on the podcast, or is it all educational?
Both! Some episodes are focused on nervous system science and self-awareness, while others offer guided breathwork, gentle yoga flows, or mindfulness practices you can do right from your bed, couch, or chair.
 
How can I suggest a topic or question for the podcast?
You can DM me on Instagram @zencreative.wellness or use the contact form on my website.​​​
