Emotional and physical well-being of children is a big focus for parents, schools and anyone in contact with kids. Enabling children to manage stress and increase confidence is a huge responsibility that we are all facing.

I am an experienced adult & kids yoga teacher with a family of my own. I know how yoga and mindfulness can have a massive impact on not only the well-being of children but also the adults around them.

My aims are

• To help children become body aware
• Enable children to begin to identify emotions and how they feel
• Show children how management of breath can help them feel safe, calm and able to communicate more clearly
• Help combat anxiety and stress
• Increase concentration
• Create a fun but structured environment for children to express themselves and learn new skills that will directly impact on their well-being throughout their life

My style

For younger children my teaching style is story-based; we will go on an adventure with the children using our bodies to move, our breath to energise/calm and then we end with a little relaxation.

For tweens and teens we can discuss a theme, perhaps working with something they are already exploring.
