‘Mindful-me’ are yoga & mindful meditation classes for young children.  The classes encourage children to explore their emotions in a fun filled way, giving them the opportunity to explore multiple relaxation exercises and strategies.
 
It is widely recognised in adult life that the use of yoga and meditation can greatly improve mental mortality and life outcomes.  For this reason I believe it is important to encourage the same strategies to be provided and distilled into young children, enabling them to have coping skills to navigate their way through life. 
 
During the classes children will engage in fundamental yoga.  This is yoga through game, exercise or play.  By providing children with learning opportunities through this medium, they are more likely to engage and remember the learning outcome we want them to gain from the class.  Children will be given the opportunity to explore their breath and understand the importance of breath when it comes to our racing minds.  They will learn different breathing exercises which may be used at their convenience.  All classes will end with a short meditation, this may be through the format of a guided script or sound bath experience.  This provides children with the opportunity to totally relax and experience the feeling of calm.
 
Through these classes we aim to enrich many benefits for children; 

😊  Improve and develop coordination, bilateral coordination, the ability to cross the mid line, balance and the vestibular system.

😊  Improve strength and flexibility.

😊  Balance and connect the body and mind.

😊  Help improve attention and emotional control.

😊  Help increase self-confidence and self acceptance.

😊  Help develop emotional intelligence and emotional literacy.

😊  Foster imagination and creativity.

😊  Help reduce the feelings of stress and anxiety.

😊  Teach children what it feels like to be calm and still.
 
The Mindful-Me classes are a great opportunity for school/childcare facilities or organisations to get involved in facilitating children wellness. 
 
Classes can be run as a one off event or we also offer the Mindful-Me workshop, which is a 4 week wellness programme. This workshop is currently available for the pre-school and primary age group.
