The Yoga Moves Schools 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 you will help restore a person; centring them back into a receptive place and ready to learn. Teachers will come away with an enhanced mindset and some powerful mindfulness tools they 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 recognize 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. And so Yoga Moves Schools 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. |

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 |

“After doing 10 weeks of classroom yoga, a University of Massachusetts study published in 2014 showed overall improvements in primary school aged children’s social interactions with classmates, attention span, academic performance, ability to deal with stress and anxiety as well as boosting their confidence, self-esteem and overall mood.”
Mindset Matters
|
Using the 'Mindset Matters' play sheets we take the children on a journey of self discovery. A series of practical yet fun processes, yoga moves & mindfulness techniques designed to work steadily with the children, establishing a positive growth mindset and enhancing emotional well-being. Giving the children a set of tools and life skills they can use throughout their life and into adulthood.
The Mindset Matters program for children that need that little bit more, can be run as a breakfast, lunch or after school club and will enhance confidence and self-esteem in who the children believe they are and in what they can do. |
Many children and young adults feel like they don't have much control in how they think and feel.
By teaching them some simple techniques that they can apply on a daily or weekly basis can make a real difference to their mental health.
