School of Chill

! FREE Kid's Yoga !

Know any young people (your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, neighbours, friend's children....) that would benefit from a little yoga?

From 11th September, I will be starting a new weekly Teen and Tween Yoga class at Botley Market Hall on Mondays at 4.10pm.

In order to let the teens and tweens see for themselves what the session is all about I am offering a FREE taster session next Monday so that they can come and explore the world of yoga for children.

We will use a combination of mindful movement, breath play, team work, activities and guided relaxation to help build confidence, strength, flexibility, improve sleep and reduce stress/anxiety in a fun and friendly environment.

If you know anyone that this would be good for, please tag them in the comments, or send them this post via messenger so they can find out more.

Attending the free taster session carries absolutely no obligation to join classes in September, although I am sure they would want to.

Chinese New Year greetings and affirmations written for today's tween and teen yoga, plus a fortune cookie for good measure.

We'll be exploring moon salutations, the animals of the Chinese zodiac and a lantern based guided meditation today.

Brew Monday:

When thinking about a lesson plan for today's teen and tween yoga session, I looked at international days that were going on. I then stumbled across the fact that today was brew Monday.

Brew Monday is an initiative set up by the Samaritans to encourage us to get in touch with someone we haven't seen in a while to make sure they're ok.

This led me to create a plan around compassion, kindness and understanding for today's class. We flowed through some heart opening postures, worked with partners to help and support each other and after watching our flowering tea unfurl we enjoyed a chat over a cup of tea and a biscuit. Talking about things that have made us happy and things we are finding a struggle.

In savasana I shared the story of the good Samaritan and how regardless of our perceived differences we should always try to be kind, compassionate and help others.

I invite you over the next week to get in contact with someone you haven't seen in a while to say hi. You might just make their day. 🙂

Samaritans are always there should you need them: 116 123

A very happy Christmas to all of you and a huge thank you for supporting my little yoga business. 🙏

I've had a blast sharing yoga for teens and tweens in 2022 and very much look forward to returning on 9th January.

I'd love to welcome your 10-15 year olds to join us at the Botley centre on Mondays at 4.40-5.25pm to explore mindful movement, relaxation techniques, breathing practices and more.

Book a half term block to secure your child's space, or contact me to discuss a one off trial session.

To round off our half term of teen and tween yoga we returned to an old favourite - the yoga stations.

Beginning with 3 deep breaths and some sun salutations we then moved around the stations to explore the different activities for 5 mins each before returning to our own mats for a guided relaxation.

Such a lovely way of giving the children some space to do things their own way, but in a structured environment.

Bookings for next half term coming very soon.

Yoga this week - today at the Botley Centre;

JUNIOR YOGA 4-4.30pm (ages 5-10)

We're heading off on an adventure in yoga, using our movements, breath and imagination to go camping in the forest.

TEEN & TWEEN YOGA 4.40-5.25pm (ages 10-15)

Restoring balance and calming the nervous system with a celebration of the autumn equinox. A symmetrical sequence, balancing dynamic movement and relaxation.
