Yoga for Schools & Childcare Centres
The gifts of movement and mindfulness delivered in a fun and engaging way.
Our kids live in a highly stimulating world where they are busier and under more pressure than ever before. Yoga offers them a time to step away from this and learn tools and strategies to help them cope with they day to day stresses of our busy modern lives.
Benefits of yoga for kids
-
A wellbeing mindset for life.
Yoga helps children learn that their body and mind are worth taking care of. That they can engage in practices like yoga, mindfulness, movement, meditation, breathing and affirmations in a way that is really enjoyable and makes them feel great. Helping them build a practice of taking care of their physical and mental wellbeing for their whole lives.
-
Balance, strength & co-ordination.
Practicing the yoga poses through story, partner work, games and activities helps children build up physical strength to improve their balance, flexibility and overall strength especially core strength. They learn to control and improve the movement of their bodies which can benefit the way they learn and perform in school.
-
Self-esteem & confidence.
Yoga is a non-competetive environment for children to move and connect with their bodies in a positive non-judgemental way. In yoga classes we explore themes like kindness, compassion, confidence, growth mindset and resilliance. Children build confidence by trying new things in a supportive, encouraging environment and are encouraged to build a positive body image and sense of self.
-
Emotional regulation.
Children aren’t born knowing how to recognise, calm and regulate their emotions, it’s something they learn. In yoga classes children lean and practice tools to calm their bodies and minds.
