A fresh and positive approach for children with Anxiety.
Mindful Toolkit
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 mindful movement and learn little routines they can practice at home as well as practical mindful and breathe techniques - my aim is for them to have a practical toolkit to use in the real world.
Yoga
Meridian Yoga is includedto 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.
NLP
Anchoring is a very powerful yet simple technique to help restore calm to the body. I blend elements of this into mindfulness and relaxation to help have calming anchors to remember in the outside world
Relaxation
Allowing our body to relax through focused visualisations and breathing exercises is such a great skill to learn. Simple breathing techniques can be taken into other environments whenever you or you child need calm.
