Children's Yoga Classes

Why should children do yoga?

​

I have been teaching in schools for the last 18 years, starting off as an English teacher in Secondary schools, and I have worked as a year 5/6 teacher alongside being the SENCo.

​

Being with children ever day, I have a great understanding of what works for children, and yoga certainly works!

​

Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity in children. Yoga and mindfulness offer psychological benefits for children as well. A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behaviour, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children.

​

I have seen these all in action in my own children's yoga classes!

​

Yoga is perfect for all children as it is non-competitive, non-judgemental, and can be taken at a pace which works for them.

​

My training with both Susannah Hoffman (Triyoga, London) and Helen Clare (Classyoga) has ensured that my classes focus on authentic yoga poses, breath-work and meditation which can support with bringing a sense of calm, confidence, flexibility and strength.

​

Can I have sibling discount?

 

Yes, absolutely!  Please email me at yoga@atwestcottage to discuss this before booking.

 

What are you doing to keep the children COVID safe should this reoccur?

 

After every class, there is at least a 15 minute break to endure all mats are wiped down and the area cleaned.  Face masks will be worn at drop off and pick up, and windows will be open to ensure correct air flow.

 

I have a full DBS, First Aid qualification, and have up to date safeguarding training.
