YOUNG PERSONS YOGA

Themes
A series of yoga lessons revolves around a theme that is suited to the students:

- For teens, this may be physical posture for daily life, self-acceptance, sustainable yoga.

- For 7-11 year olds, it might be caring for each other, the body, the biosphere.

- For younger children, people who help us, a trip to the beach.

Content of Sessions

All sessions include:
- Body-mind movement, use of the breath, relaxation.

- A selection of creative art, yoga sequencing, yoga games, music, stories, poetry, knowledge, mindfulness, yoga dance or Qi Gong.

- Gradually, as self-awareness grows, students internalise the experiences so that they become able to connect their yoga practice to their daily lives which enables them to thrive.

Inclusion

Carol has taught many non-English language users, so will happily lead sessions that simultaneously strengthen understanding of English within the setting of yoga.

She is particularly experienced in the application of yoga to enhance sensory integration.
