Kids Yoga school holiday program

Service Description

This wonderful two-day program is a yogic immersion into the spectrum of energy within and around us. And if you think that sounds a bit big and heavy - don't worry! It will feel light and relevant to the kids. The whole program will be fun, interesting, engaging and life-enhancing! Ideally suited for upper primary aged children, years 3-6, the sessions will include: - yogic movement to express energy at the different energy centres in our body, including stretching, balancing, strengthening moves. - breathing techniques and practice to harness the energy of the mind and spirit - meditation and mindfulness in a way that's useful and age appropriate - oming and chanting - activities to explore and express their inner strength and beauty - deep guided relaxation (the kids love it and yes, they can lie still!) This program will also include a tie dye workshop where the children will dye a piece of clothing to express the energies they wish to manifest more of into their life. This is a special two-day program designed to connect children to themselves, others and the world around them. This is tween yoga - they will not be jumping around like frogs, nor will they be asked to sit in silence for ages. They can doodle while they listen, they can ask questions and share comments and they can take responsibility for certain aspects of the day which they love (collecting eye pillows for example). Children are welcome exactly as they are - they don't need to be zen, happy or calm!! This time I will also be running a choose your challenge section to end the program based the reviews of children who attended the last school holiday program who felt such a sense of achievement from being able to get into headstand or scorpion in a safe and controlled way. This also allows those very flexible children the chance to enjoy the strength and range of movement in their bodies. I can't make medical claims but I can say that kids who have done this sort of yoga with me report sleeping better, feeling happier to be themselves, and feeling more engaged and enthused about life. And parents tell me their kids mature, they have a taller spine and they talk about the program for weeks. And both tell me how much they love yoga!
