Kids yoga will be starting up again on Wednesday September 11th, 4:00 until 5:00 at Todmorden college. 3-7 year olds, £6 per session, drop-in are welcome but termly bookings are preferred.

Please get in touch if you’d like to sign your child up for the autumn term.

Out of interest would anyone want me to start up the 8-12 year old yoga group again???

I’m looking forward to softening into the darker days after a summer full of adventures.

⁣NEW TIME, WEDNESDAYS, @ A NEW VENUE, TODMORDEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣We’re back and ready for some beautiful, restful, after school yoga classes. I’ll be putting emphasis on unwinding after a busy day at school during these sessions. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣The classes for the 3-7 year olds will consist of some balancing, stretchy autumn themed yoga. Followed by a snuggly savasana with blankets, soft toys and cushions where I will read the children a carefully selected story. We’ll finish with a drink and snack and some time to use the sensory toys I provide.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣For the 8-12 year olds we will explore more deeply what rest is and how it makes our bodies and minds feel. I’ll teach yoga techniques which will activate the parasympathetic nervous system and bring a sense of calm and wellbeing. We’ll finish the class with a short craft activity and a snack.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Rest is best! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Breath work handouts and snack will be provided each week. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Please DM me to sign your child up for the 6 week block. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣So happy to be back. ⁣

⁣I’ve been quiet on here for a while due to some in going health issues. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Unfortunately the yoga classes are still on hold as I’m not fully recovered just yet. I’m heading in the right direction and feeling positive, just need more time until I can commit to teaching again. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Thanks for the messages to enquire about the sessions, I’ll be in touch with everyone as soon as my energy levels are more consistent. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I’m thinking autumn is a realistic time to work towards starting the classes again. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Face paints should be put on prescription! ⁣

⁣Hopping into the weekend like springy frogs! Yogi squat is a grounding pose and froggy jumps are lovely and energising. We listened to a chorus of ribbiting frogs as we jumped and stretched, then relaxed to the sound of gentle rain. Happy hoppers! Oh and one happy yogi vampire too!⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Tweens yoga was based on the water element, we did flows and has fun doing Mexican waves using different postures and movements. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Next weekend is the last of this block, see you then. ⁣

⁣Yesterday’s 3-7 year olds session was, fluttery, freeing, wiggly, wobbly, gentle, joyful, expressive, colourful, giggly and then calm. Ahhhhh. We used yoga postures to think about the life cycle of butterflies. I have spotted a few caterpillars and butterflies this weekend, spring is upon us. 🐛🦋⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Followed by a really wonderful one to one session with an excellent participant. We explored the element of air which, in yoga, is linked to openness, freedom, and love. It was a beautiful hour with lots of attuned moments, laughter and some fun but challenging chest and shoulder opening poses. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Joy, joy, joy! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣See you all next weekend. ⁣

⁣Lovely to be back teaching again on such a glorious day. Todays sessions were very busy with lots of children! I have to stay fully present for the children which is why I don’t have many pictures to share. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣The tweens session was a grounding session where we connected to the earth element. Grounding postures brought about a very relaxed atmosphere to the room which was just the ticket for some tired ten year olds today. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣See you next week for more connecting, stretching, breathing and relaxation. ⁣

⁣Today was the last session for this block I’m taking a couple of Saturdays off. Sessions will start again on March 18th. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣This morning’s yoga exploration was all about emotions and where we feel them in our bodies. The colour monster is an excellent book to begin growing emotional intelligence in younger children, and it lent itself perfectly to inspire yoga postures.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣The tweens class was beautiful today, it feels very special holding a space for this age group. The children talked a lot about their feelings and we used the to choose a couple of postures for each emotion. The deck is specifically for supporting big feelings through breath-work and yoga poses. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Feelings feel big and can fill our bodies and minds very quickly, but yoga is a remedy and can quickly help us regain emotional balance. ⁣

⁣The snow set a very peaceful atmosphere in yoga yesterday, we took time to watch the huge flakes float to the ground. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Rain before rainbows was a hit, the children used scarves to dance and move and we practiced rainbow breath; which is fantastic to use just before the lights go off at bedtime. The story opened up lots of conversation about dreams. 🤍☁️⁣
⁣⁣
⁣The tween class was busy with ideas and connection. Rosa Parks’ story was a great source of inspiration for what a community can achieve together and how a political and social protest can be started. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Next Saturday is the last session in this block, I’ll be sending out some feedback forms this week to help me reflect on the classes. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Happy half term. ⁣

⁣I have two beautiful lessons planned for Saturdays classes. Books are a great source of inspiration for my sessions, I’ve been raiding my daughters books shelves a lot recently! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Rain before rainbows has a beautiful message of optimism, it guides the reader through difficult scenarios with gentle reminders that there is always light on the horizon and a promise of better days ahead. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Rosa Parks’ heroic story of what one incredible person can achieve through bravery and the support of others will be a brilliant way in to discuss community and ahimsa - being kind to ourselves and others. Heart opening postures and group/pairs postures will be on the yoga menu. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣A happy morning ahead, see you Saturday. ⁣
