Kids' Yoga
Current Classes
We teach various classes in schools in Bishops Stortford and Harlow -find out if your child's school is getting involved! Some schools that are currently offering yoga to their pupils: Birchwood High School, Potter Street Primary School, Abbotsweld Primary School & The Leventhorpe School. The Bishop Stortford High School offers yoga classes for it's teachers.
We are available to teach in primary and secondary schools, nurseries and children's centres in East Herts & Herts/Essex border. Please contact the office to request an information pack and to book your FREE 30 minute demonstration and/or assembly. See below for the benefits of yoga for children and the age groups we cater for.
Birthday Parties
We also deliver birthday parties for children aged 3 and upwards. A yoga party is an exciting and healthy way for your child and their friends to interact and play. Fun yoga stories and games offer an alternative theme to other parties you may have hosted for your children. Please contact for more information and a price list.
Age 3 to 7
We start yoga classes for children aged 3. The yoga postures are woven into fun and creative stories and adventures, which help develop children’s imagination whilst exercising their bodies and teaching them from a very early age the importance of relaxation. We support the SEAL/PHSE and EYFS principles, and can help schools and nurseries attain their targets.
Age 8-12
For this slightly older age group we concentrate on themed classes and learning how to align the body and have good posture. We play yoga games and enjoy exercise in a non-competitive environment. More relaxation techniques are given to this age group along with breathing exercises to balance body and mind. We also offer one-off workshops for Healthy Schools Week and Anti-Bullying Week, and other school initiatives.
Age 13-18
Teenagers have a lot of pressure to perform and deliver, and the stress of these expectations can sometimes feel overwhelming. Our yoga sessions work even deeper in the body with this age group, and meditation/relaxation techniques are introduced which help teens find focus and concentration during exams.
Families
We also offer classes for families to bring adults and children closer together to have fun and connect with each other. This is a great opportunity for Family Learning and for everyone to have a great time together doing something healthy.
Adults
Additionally we deliver yoga and meditation classes to adults. With weekly classes for your staff you would see improved productivity, concentration, memory retention and general wellbeing: the result being less time taken off work. We could fit a staff session after the children’s class.
