Yoga & Mindfulness ELC & Kindergarten
Transform the lives of children in your ELC & support your team of educators with a Nature Yoga and Mindfulness Incursion Program
Yoga is the greatest gift we can give to our children in their early years, when they are learning who they are, exploring their emotions and environments and starting to build their character, independance and awareness to feel more calm, confident and connected with themselves, each other and the world around them
Over the past 7 years of teaching and sharing nature based yoga and mindfulness with kids and their caregivers, I have witnessed huge transformations and seen so many children embrace these slower, more mindful and more connected practices and go on to live with more self awareness, kindness, compassion and ability to understand and support their own wellbeing
These benefits transform classrooms and support your educators, creating a more calm, self aware and kinder children with skills they can all use and integrate into their everyday lives
Support their mental, physical
& emotional wellbeing
Wellbeing Benefits of Yoga & Mindfulness
-
Enhances their sense of identy and overall wellbeing
-
Develops compassion, connection and confidence
-
Supports their physical and emotional health with gross and fine motor skills
-
Encourages them to slow down and experience calm, focus and connection
-
Equips them with essential life skills to use in their everyday lives
I have witnessed
-
children that are non verbal and unapproachable come forward and engage with the session
-
children who find it challenging to focus and calm down, learn how to use their breath and mindfulness practices to be more present and in control
-
children with varying gross and fine motor skills find their strength and improved ability through a more gentle and calmer approach
-
children with high energy and creativity embracing their independance with the practices and feeling more grounded, seen and connected with their bodies
There are so many more examples and I am grateful everyday for the opportunity to support these children and help centres and educators and families to learn new ways to improve the wellbeing, health and happiness of our young children
