Yoga for Children with Beth

"You're a magician! I've never seen my class so calm"
Lovely quote from a teacher today. I'm always so grateful for your feedback!

Merry Christmas to All 🎄 Well done all the children for their festive strethhes this week! We've been walking like Santa, making our bodies like a Sleigh and flying like Reindeer... It's been magical 💫

Have a lovely, peaceful festive time all 🙏

Yoga is not just stretching!

When practising yoga we learn more about our bodies, inside and out.

"We have thoroughly enjoyed our yoga sessions with you.

The sessions you led have been very relaxing and gave the children opportunities to explore how they can control their bodies and build concentration.

My class have looked forward to their Friday morning with you. The calm atmosphere and the resources you had were excellent. I’ll now be able to use your ideas moving forward.

Thanks again and hope to see you in school in the future."

"I highly recommend this yoga class tailored to children across school from EYFS to Year 6!

It was a fantastic addition to our school day, perfectly meeting the developmental needs of our children.

The sessions were wonderfully calm and immediately created a peaceful atmosphere!

Thank you Beth!"

The children absolutely love doing yoga, they look forward to it every week. It is great for the children's mindfulness and regulation.

Beth is enthusiastic and creative, suiting the session to the children's interests and needs.

She is patient and very positive.

I can hear the children singing the yoga songs during playtime!

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing impact Beth has had on our Reception at Nettlesworth Primary School.

We have had Beth in school each Autumn Term for a 6 week block and her nurturing approach and enthusiasm have made yoga sessions a highlight of our week.

Beth has a wonderful way of connecting with the children, creating a calm and joyful space where they feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.

Thanks for helping transition from nursery to school go so smoothly - Mrs Morton 🙂

When a child with English As an Additional Language who hasn't lived in the country long has the COURAGE to lead our Stretch Routine...

*These are the magic moments*

It's-not-just-about-poses.

My sequence of lessons enables children to step out of their comfort zone in a safe environment. They see what they're made of!

They learn they can THRIVE in this world with with strength in body & mind 💪

"We book sessions with Beth as she’s organised, well resourced and has a lovely, calm manner with our children.

Children have the opportunity to develop their gross motor skills, balance and co-ordination whilst also practising mindfulness."
