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:

Students arrive from different lessons.
Some anxious.
Some distracted.
Some carrying things that have nothing to do with school.

Before learning can begin, everyone has to settle.

More and more schools are recognising that emotional regulation is becoming an essential part of the learning environment.

When students are stressed or overwhelmed, concentration drops.
Behaviour challenges increase.
Learning becomes harder for everyone.

But when students learn simple techniques to calm their nervous systems and focus their attention, the shift can be powerful.

Classrooms become calmer.
Students feel more confident.
Teachers can focus on teaching.

This is why more schools are exploring wellbeing practices like yoga and mindfulness.

Here at Teen Yoga, we support schools with training and programmes that help bring these tools into everyday school life in a practical and accessible way.

Because wellbeing isnโ€™t separate from education, itโ€™s the foundation that allows learning to happen.

If your school is thinking about how to better support student wellbeing, you can find out more about our work here:

Does your Teenager have exams coming up?
Or are they starting a Duke of Edinburgh certificate?

This yoga and mindfulness session will be on โญ๏ธSunday 17th May โญ๏ธand will be an opportunity for young people to meet, discuss mental health issues, including how to harness anxiety to use as motivation and the power of 'reframing'.

We'll move through some yoga flows, release stress and calm our busy minds.

They'll leave feeling empowered-with tools to help them navigate life's challenges.

I look forward to meeting some of you on 17th.

Delighted with my 5 star review yesterday...๐Ÿฅณโญ๏ธ

As a small business owner it means everything to me.
The feedback I get from parents and children is amazing and when the children ask me,
"when is the next session Claire?" It is everything.

Next date will be established soon!
I love helping families find strength, calm, peace -all whilst having fun and connecting.
I feel grateful that all my hard work and absolute passion for helping children with their physical and mental health is being appreciated and recognised.

What a beautiful evening last night.

Such committed parents who show up on a Friday evening with such a strong intention towards their child's mental and physical health.

The feedback was amazing and yes there will be more.

The theme last night was just moving mindfully to some 'good tunes'-a mon avis!
Also connecting to nature with an impromptu outdoor session, honoring world earth day-made it extra special! โค๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

We only went and won the last softball cricket indoor match of the year! So buzzing....
These team mates ( and all the others not on this photo) are so supportive, encouraging, motivating and just bloody ace. Especially when I loose confidence..
Time for outdoor cricket now! Come on Mersey!!! โ™ฅ๏ธ

World earth day is this Wednesday 22nd April...
A chance to celebrate this wonderful planet, to try and live in harmony with it and respect the earth's natural healing properties.

When we honor it we'll then feel enriched by the wonderful synchronicities that will emerge and the nourishment that you'll feel. ๐ŸŒฑ
