The behaviour you describe doesn't sound too abnormal for an energetic 8 year old. Many find it difficult to walk past a mat and not jump off it. It depends on the frequency of these behaviours. If it happens all lesson it's a problem, if she has moments when she lapses not so much.
Lots of the best gymnasts have these problems when they are younger, it's that drive inside them that makes it so difficult to stand and sit still and that boundless energy that later becomes their greatest asset.
