    About The Course

    The Yoga Moves for the Classroom project is a training for teachers in Movement, Mindfulness and Meditation for the classroom. This is a very powerful way to create a positive growth mindset, build confidence and deepen the connection with each child in your class.

    Yoga moves for the classroom are a variety of easy to use, child and space-friendly yoga moves that can calm a class or indeed give them the energy they need to finish the day. Using the power of the breath alongside some mindfulness techniques and yoga inspired moves you will help restore a person; centring them back into a receptive place and ready to learn.

    Teachers come away with an enhanced mindset and some powerful mindfulness tools that can be used both quickly and easily throughout the school day, as and when needed enhancing the emotional well-being for everyone in the class.

    We recognise how formative these early years are and how easy it is to make or break a child; and just how tough it can be to teach day in day out, children from all walks of life. The Yoga Moves for the Classroom Project has been designed to help you stay in right relationship with why you decided to become a teacher and to enable you to enable the children with skills for life that will help them navigate those trickier times ahead.

    The Yoga Moves Project is designed to empower and enable both Teacher and child for years to come.

    70% of children & young people who experience a mental health problem have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age.

    Life is very unpredictable and how each individual child handles their journey is unique to them. There are certain risk factors that could impact heavily on a child's mental and emotional health. Some of these factors include:

    • having long-standing educational difficulties
    • having parents who separate or divorce
    • living in poverty or being homeless
    • experiencing discrimination; race, sexuality or religion
    • experiencing the death of someone close to them
    • having been severely bullied or physically or sexually abused
    • acting as a carer for a relative, taking on adult responsibilities
    • having a parent who has had mental health problems
    • having a parent who has had problems with alcohol or drugs
    • having a parent who has been in trouble with the law

    Prevention is far better than cure, so here's a few things that will help children and young people stay mentally & emotionally well:

    • being part of a family that loves and respects each other
    • going to a school that looks after the wellbeing of all its pupils
    • feeling loved, trusted, understood, valued and safe
    • accepting who they are and recognising what they are good at
    • being hopeful and optimistic
    • being able to learn and having opportunities to succeed
    • having a sense of belonging in their family, school, community
    • feeling they have some control over their own life
    • having the strength to cope when something is wrong
    • having the ability to focus on solutions

    Many schools are reaping the benefits of the Yoga Moves model and are now fully committed to creating an environment that supports a child's mental and emotional health; teaching the teachers and enabling them with cutting edge positive mindset making tools and techniques that quite literally shapes the brain in a powerful and everlasting way.
