Children's Yoga and Mindfulness
Building Happy, Healthy Minds & Bodies!
Children feel big things, and they don’t always have the words or tools to handle them. My children’s yoga classes give them a playful, calm space to move, breathe and notice how they feel, so they learn that they can be in charge of their own energy and emotions.
Classes mix lively, energising movement with quieter moments of rest, so children get to feel the difference between being busy and being calm, and learn how to move between the two. We use stories, animal poses, games and simple breathing techniques, along with sensory props like scarves, ocean drums and chimes, which children love.
There’s always time to pause and chat too: how does your body feel now? What could you do with your breath next time you feel nervous, cross or excited? These are small skills, but children carry them into the classroom, the playground and bedtime.
After one recent class, the children told me yoga made them feel “happy”, “calm” and “like floating on the moon!”
Yoga in schools and nurseries
I bring yoga and mindfulness into schools and nurseries across Worcestershire in partnership with Nurture Families, who arrange the sessions. Programmes are often funded through local and national grants, so it can be more affordable for your school than you might think.
Sessions range from one-off workshops and wellbeing days to full programmes running over a term, shaped around the children’s ages and what your school or setting needs.
If you’d like to bring yoga and mindfulness to your school, nursery or group, get in touch and we can talk you through the options and how the funding works.
