In this post I want to introduce myself and Yogifitfun. My name is Maura Cronin McAuliffe and I'm a wife, mother of 3 and Montessori teacher/early years educator. I own 'First-Steps' Montessori school in Castleisland, established in 2002.
Over the years I have seen many changes in the lives of young children. In our modern world, children like adults can experience many stresses on mind and body because of many factors, school, friends, over-scheduling etc. β°
Engaging in a yoga routine can help combat some of these negative effects while also encouraging the development of wide range of movement, improving balance, co-ordination and increasing positive thoughts and feelings.π
I am not an adult yoga teacher, hey I still fall out of poses in my own yoga practice, ask Maeve Ebb & Flow Yoga Therapy. π
However I recently trained in Internationally recognised Rainbow Kids yoga. πThe Rainbow Kids yoga training appealed to me the most because its not about perfect poses or alingments but rather about starting from where the child is at. It is about helping children get excited about practising yoga, relaxation and mindfulness in a fun, energetic and creative way.
This is what I aim to achieve through Yogifitfun. π§ββοΈ
Yogifitfun will help children to exercise body,mind and breath in a non competitive, caring and supportive environment.
I will use my extensive knowledge of children, my many qualifications, my yoga experience and enthusiasm to make Yogifitfun an enjoyable experience for all.π
