To provide pupils and teaching staff with life-long tools that support health and well-being in the school environment.  This includes helping children deal with their emotions building resilience, positive relationships, self-confidence, concentration, whilst reducing stress and anxiety.  With these strategies in place children’s learning, focus and cognitive development is improved.

We provide an 8-session self-esteem programme to build children’s self-confidence. Schools choose specific children that they feel may benefit from the sessions and each is conducted in strict confidence.

During the sessions we provide a range of fun and engaging activities such as calming breathing techniques, mindful, sensory, confidence building, team building along with creative activities including peer massage and meditation.

As a qualified teacher I understand the pressure that teachers and children are under within the school environment.  It is often hard to find time in our busy days or routine to stop and quieten the mind.  However, it is so important that children are given the opportunity to do this.  There are many benefits for children including improved cognitive development, relationships, resilience, performance, self-esteem, concentration, determination and how to deal with their emotions.

We provide full day mindfulness in each class, hourly sessions or after school sessions.  This allows teachers to observe a mindfulness session and understand how each activity is delivered.

We provide a range of activities to support children with Special Educational Needs.  During the sessions we focus on the power of touch using a range of sensory activities and peer massage to stimulate the senses.  We provide physical activities such as yoga and balancing beanbags to develop focus, determination, strength, balance, flexibility and reduce anxiety.

During the teacher twilight sessions, we provide mindfulness to support staff well-being or strategies to use in the classroom.  Mindfulness for staff well-being includes how to reduce stress, improving positive relationships and effective communication.  This is not only beneficial for the workplace but for teacher’s everyday life.  Our strategies to use in the classroom include fun and engaging, calming breathing techniques, self-esteem/mindful activities and meditation.

Yoga is a way of life!  It is a ‘mind-body’ experience developed by moving the body into a sequence of yoga poses.  During yoga we pay attention to our breathing, breathing in and out through the nose calms the mind.  By developing yoga practices, along with relaxation and meditation improves our way of life as you become more resilient, compassionate for others and have increased focus and concentration.

During the sessions we focus on breathing techniques (pranayama), yoga poses (asanas) and relaxation (shavasana) using a range of resources such as animals, singing bowls, pom poms, scarves, cards and bean bags.
