Mindful movement and play learning
It takes a village to raise a child, and we’re an extra pair of hands to support parents and schools.
Every child deserves to feel safe, secure and healthy in their body.

-
Better emotional regulation, self awareness

Increased focus and concentration

Improved balance and coordination

More patience and compassion for self and others
-
Engaging in whole body movement activities
-
Participating in collaborative and creative activities

Our Offerings
Group sessions are curated for children aged 3-16, with duration varying from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the child's age. Classes include a blend of:
-
Yoga movements can improve gross motor skills, decrease stress and anxiety, increase self compassion and encourage self acceptance.
-
Mindful movement uplifts young people by encouraging them to pay attention to their bodies, emotions and environment with compassion and intentional action.
-
Young people learn naturally through play. By exploring mental, emotion and physical wellbeing through play and games- their wellbeing is nurtured organically.
-
With the rise in digital distraction- children have an opportunity to use their own internal tools to self regulate and create a moment of calm.
-
Affirmations can improve mood & mindset, encourage a healthy self esteem and create a sense of inner & outer security and belonging.
