SCHOOLS - Bringing Yoga into Everyday School Life

Did you know that we offer INSET training in a range of formats, including full days, half days, twilight sessions and bespoke programmes for schools, academies, nurseries and local authorities?

With decades of experience, we offer much more than techniques to practise on a yoga mat. Alongside structured yoga practices, we share practical yoga ‘snacks’, simple, accessible tools that can be woven into the everyday culture of a school and used throughout the day.

These can help children and young people to:

  • Settle and focus their attention.
  • Regulate their energy and emotions.
  • Gently awaken sleepy energy or calm heightened arousal.
  • Develop greater body awareness and emotional regulation, supporting positive behaviour and readiness to learn.

 

And there’s more! Our training also gives teachers and school staff practical techniques to support their own physical and emotional wellbeing.

Because a regulated classroom often starts with regulated adults. When the adults feel more grounded and resourced, they are better placed to support the children in their care.

Our aim is to make yoga accessible, practical and relevant, not simply another activity on the timetable, or another thing to try and fit into an already overloaded schedule, but a collection of tools that can become part of everyday school life.
