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 in confidence is a huge responsibility that we are all facing.

I am an experienced adult & kids yoga teacher with a family of my own and 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, so 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.
