Yoga & Meditation Schools Workshops

Yoga for children is becoming increasing popular, not only for its physical benefits of greater body awareness, coordination, balance, strength and flexibility, but also to introduce breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques that help relax, calm and focus the mind – invaluable in today’s fast paced, loud, and busy lifestyles. Yoga days & classes, therefore, will be a workout not only for the body but for the mind.

Also it does not need a large space or equipment, just your mind and body!

The Day

OPTIONAL: The Yoga day can begin with an introductory assembly (max 15 minutes) about the origins, history and types of Yoga, meditation and relaxation. There is also an option to include information about posture, muscles and health.

The students will then be split into classes of max. 30 pupils, lasting from 40 minutes for reception to 1 hour plus from years 3 – 6 and secondary. Each class will consist of:

• Introduction to Yoga (History and facts)
• Meditation
• A warm up
• Breathing Exercises
• Yoga Asanas/Postures
• Relaxation Techniques and Visualisation.

Each class will be tailored to suit the Key Stage group, fulfilling the national curriculum criteria.
The classes for children under 10 yrs will be taught with an exciting story. The older groups may focus more on concentration, breathing and relaxation techniques, tools which could help them get through their exams.

A summary of all the information we cover can be handed to students in the form of worksheets at the end of the classes.

OPTIONAL: Finish the day with a school assembly, allowing any groups or individuals who would like to show their friends or parents something special they have learnt.

Price

£290 for the whole day (£1.50 per student based on 6 classes of 30 students).
