My goal is for children to learn a practical toolkit of skills to use in the real world.
Mindfulness and Yoga for children offers a natural calm, fun way for children to practice new skills that can really help them in the real world.
The aim of each session is to practice yoga, mindfulness, breathing techniques and relaxation techniques.
A great way to introduce children to mindfulness and yoga is through our 1:1s or small workshops, ideal for children 8+
Yoga
Yoga helps children’s physical and mental wellbeing and children enjoy practicing it. I incorporate parts of meridian yoga into workshops to help kids practice moves that are used to help bring the body back into balance through focused movements and breath.
Simple and fun and easy to follow.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is such a great tool for children to allow both the body & mind to calm through practicing being in the present moment.
This can be taught through practical playful games and activities as well as slower more thoughtful ones.
NLP
Anchoring is a very powerful yet simple technique to help restore calm to the body. I can blend simple elements of this into mindfulness and relaxation to help have calming anchors to remember in the outside world.
This is a great tool to help anxious feelings.
Relaxation
It is a great skill for children to learn to relax through focused visualisations can not only help them relax and reduce anxiety as well as increasing self esteem and confidence.
SImple breathing exercises are so easy to take into different environments so your child knows they can use their techniques whenever they need calm.
