We have trained and certified practitioners in the ‘Yoginis’ programme that specialises in Yoga for children. Every morning to ease the children into the day, our Yoga and Early Years Teachers delivers a gentle yoga session to the children in our beautiful large garden. Our vision is that yoga for health, mental and emotional wellbeing is available to all children regardless of ability or socio-economic background.
The programmes which were created by Yoginis Yoga, combine the ancient art of yoga with the latest research in neuroscience and bio-mechanics to offer techniques, which contribute to reducing the physical and mental health issues increasingly faced by our children today.
Yoga sessions are based around the unique ‘grab and go’ pack, a visual timetable which directs the yoga session. Using images to represent postures, children as young as two are able to join in the sessions, learning to recognise the images and associated actions. Learning is embedded and children take the practice home and replicate with family and friends. This is supported by take home resources to build strong home school links and extended family well-being benefits.
Sessions can range from 5 – 45 minutes, however postures can be woven into the day to calm, focus and concentrate, ready for learning or play. No planning or experience is required
