Yoga For Schools | Yoga sessions for children at nurseries and schools

Yoga Workshops for Schools

Yoga Paradise has successfully been running yoga sessions for children at nurseries and schools.

Yoga for children is fun and imaginative, it gently makes the children more aware of their breathing and gives them a sense of self belief and self confidence.

We work on a 10-12 session per term programme, three times per year during curriculum or as an after school club.

The yoga sessions are carefully structured with various adventurous themes to suit different age groups.

We currently teach from 2 years up to adulthood.

Plenty of repetition is used for the younger children to reinforce what they have learnt.

Sessions include fun yoga postures, easy breathing techniques, yoga games, relaxation and meditation.

Yoga can:

help the children focus and concentrate
build their stamina and give them confidence
improve their flexibility, coordination and balance
help them to release anger and anxiety
calm and relax their mind
and above all stay happy and healthy

 Breathe Out Stress Breathe In Peace Workshop

We run special workshops for children/teenagers to help them cope with exam pressures and give them tools that help them stay calm & relaxed.

We hold Breathe Out Stress Breathe In Peace Workshops at schools and private group classes.
The workshop is carefully structured according to the age group of the children.
We recommend a 4-6 week programme, however changes can be made to suit the requirements of the school and children.
We offer a free trial session. To arrange for your trial session please contact us.

Using Meditation as a Study Tool

Practice any simple meditation for a few minutes before you start your studies.
Those few minutes of meditation actually help you to relax and it has been observed that children perform their best when they are calm and relaxed.
Breathing is one of the most important and basic acts of life. Breath is connected to the mind. When the mind is overactive and anxious, the breath is shallow and fast. However if you breathe in and out, taking long deep breaths, you will observe the breath gets slower and longer.
The deeper the breath, the higher the intake of oxygen supplied to the brain thus promoting a healthier and more efficient mind.
