As educators, you play a crucial role in shaping the well-being of your students. With my experience of over 9 years in teaching children’s yoga and my deep understanding of children’s mental health and well-being, I am here to support your school in achieving a holistic approach to mental well-being.
Together, let’s pave the way for a healthier and happier future, one yoga class at a time.
Yoga Experience Days: Giving schools the chance to offer the benefits of yoga to all the children within their school setting.
Namaste Kids Yoga is dedicated to providing schools with an exceptional opportunity to introduce the benefits of yoga to their students. Empowering the children and teachers with new tools to self-regulate and cultivate calmness in both body and mind.
Bespoke Lessons for Your School: Lessons are carefully crafted to meet the unique needs of each school. I work closely with you to devise lessons that suit your requirements, taking into account timings and grouping. These experiences can be seamlessly integrated with Health Schools week, Mental Health Awareness and Well-being events. We have also successfully incorporated yoga into cross-curricular weeks and celebrated World Book Day with engaging yoga activities.
Curriculum Yoga: Namaste Kids offers curriculum yoga packages for 6, 12, or 38 weeks, allowing for a sustained and transformative experience. Our weekly classes can be linked with PE (Physical Education) or PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education), or used as PPA (Planning, Preparation, and Assessment) cover.
With the class teacher present during the yoga classes, there is an opportunity to upskill and to then integrate elements into the classroom, fostering a whole-school approach to well-being.
Well-being Sessions for Teachers: I can also provide well-being sessions for teachers, allowing them to experience a rejuvenating yoga class where they can unwind and de-stress. These sessions are designed to provide movement and stretches to the body after a day spent at the desk. Additionally, they incorporate breathing techniques and guided meditations to bring peace and calm to the mind. It’s a much-deserved treat after a busy day of teaching.
Inset Day Training for Teachers – Building Confidence to introduce Yoga into the Classroom: Courses start from 2 hours and touch on yoga philosophy and science to give background to the benefits before moving onto mindfulness, breathing techniques, and yoga poses with floor or chair options selected at the booking stage. Longer courses are available which would allow for more co-creation & interaction with the staff plus optional mindset training could be added. These courses are designed to empower teachers, teaching assistants, and childcare workers to develop effective strategies for nurturing calmer, more confident, and focused children. Please note that this course is not a qualification in children’s yoga.
