My name is Aine and I am a mother of 2, navigating parenting in a neurodivergent household. My background is in law. I am a Solicitor and hold a Masters Degree in International Human Rights Law. Over the past 6 years I have developed a passion for children's health and wellbeing from a holistic perspective. I believe it is vital to nurture the energy body and physical, mental, emotional, social development of every child from a young age. I am absolutely delighted to be part of the Chakradance™ Kids Facilitator family and cannot wait to begin delivering this beautiful modality. The Chakradance™ Kids wellbeing programme is designed to provide children between 3-9 years of age with lessons, tools and skills that will help them to navigate life’s challenges, with greater understanding of themselves and others, promoting greater resilience and emotional self regulation. These classes nurture creativity and imagination through play whilst addressing all levels of healthy developmental growth: physical, cognitive, emotional and social. The programme is comprised of carefully-structured mix of stories, music, movement and creative art. Weaving chakra philosophy with chakra resonant original music and modern day fairytales with expressive movement and mindful practices such as meditation, mindfulness, breath awareness and creative art, Chakradance™ Kids well-being programs nurture children on an inner journey of self-enquiry, self-discovery, and self-expression. The stories have been written to teach important life-lessons in ways that children can understand and find engaging. They then get to ‘feel’ their way into each story by embodying the themes or characters in a music and movement session, before expressing their feelings about the story with creative art. Key developmental themes in each class include: trusting instincts; emotional expression; self-esteem; compassion; self-expression and communication; intuition and imagination; and self-awareness. Chakradance™ Kids is a truly magical journey for children.
