Greenshoots yoga

Greenshoots yoga Greenshoots yoga offers yoga and mindfulness classes to children aged 5-18 as well as families. This school specialises in trauma lead education.

I have been a primary school teacher for 19 years, working for 4 years at St Richards Primary School in Longsight and then 8 years at Alderley Edge School for Girls. When my boys were young I left full time teaching trained as a yoga teacher-for children aged 5 plus and Teenagers. I then started Greenshoots Yoga and in the past 7 years I have taught after school clubs, yoga in schools, as well as staff training in chair yoga and mindfulness. Currently I work as part of a pastoral team at a primary school in Trafford. I have recently completed an online Trauma sensitive course and continue to develop my training in this area. I am affiliated with Independent Yoga Network, in teaching children yoga and mindfulness. Yoga has been a fundamental part of my life for over 19 years now. In a society where expectations are high, from a young age, the yoga mat provides children with a place where they can have fun, express themselves creatively and develop their self-confidence. My aim is to give children the tools of yoga and mindfulness to draw on throughout their lives. For example; in times of emotional stress or academic pressure. Yoga and mindfulness help promote mental and physical resilience, which can be applied to everyday life. Mindfulness is also done throughout the lesson, via breathing exercises, reflection and reciting positive affirmations. Greenshoots yoga offers fun and accessible yoga and mindfulness classes to children aged 5-18. For more details of classes and Family Yoga or Yoga in schools please contact me:

So many of my yoga lessons are based on beautiful books that help support emotional literacy, compassion, resilience and empathy.

I studied English literature at Uni and as a result I was turned off reading for a few years-after being tortured by 'what is the subtext' of every word!
However now I read for absolute pleasure, inspiration and, at times, escapism.
Nothing speaks to the soul better than a good book...well maybe yoga is a serious contender.

I'm always on the lookout for more books to inspire children, creativity and weave into my yoga classes.

Any suggestions?🫶🏻🌱

Loving this book-I'll be using it this week! Honestly feel I am an aspiring 'feelings doctor' at home and at school. I also actually look like this by Thursday 😜🌱
If everyone read this book then I believe the world would be in a much better place than it currently is. It's completely adult friendly-the pictures help elaborate the importance of every page!! 🫶🏻

My planning this half term is incorporating growth mindset mentality.
I'm keenly following the work of and also as they both promote the importance of teaching ourselves and our children the power of self belief, resilience and learning from 'mistakes'.

Some schools, including the school I work at, really instill these teachings.

For me they are the most important lessons to embed from an early age...so that they can have a fulfilled life.

As Marie Forleo says,
" the most important words in the universe are the words you say to yourself" ❤️

Currently my schedule:

🌱Monday, Tuesday and Thursday-working at Broomwood Primary

🌱Wednesdays

🌱Parent and child yoga, mindfulness is once every 6 weeks ( next one is 27.02.26)

Come join us and grow together 🌱
