Family Yoga
Families connect through yoga by engaging in activities that encourages bonding, communication, and mutual understanding. This could be one to one time between an adult and a child, it could be siblings practicing together, or the whole family. Taking some time to explore yoga as a family can open communication, deep connection, playful exploration, mindful movement, and intentional breathwork.

Testimonial- Lytham C of E Primary School
My Year 5 class have had a programme of Yoga and Mindfulness which we booked on to due to the stressful nature of life today and for helping our children to build resilience and a positive mindset towards learning and school life. The children have absolutely loved the sessions and this is certainly something that I, as class teacher, have embraced also. I will certainly use these strategies on a daily basis in order to encourage the children to build this in to their everyday lives. There was a very good balance of yoga, mindfulness and meditation with a range of skills which were built upon each session. The children were engaged from the start and the strategies have already started to be replicated in to the daily routines of the school day. We look forward to seeing this in effect with our other year groups through school and we will definitely be booking further sessions.
