I have spent many years exploring and developing understanding of the genuinely transformative capabilities of somatic embodiment  mindfulness yoga meditation for children, teens and family to help to bring about the fundamental change in their state of being and relating to the world.

My courses for children & teens, family class and retreats, private one-to-one are specially designed to respond to the needs of youngsters who may struggle to much more authentic to themselves, to find their resilience or those who are currently experiencing stress, anxiety, pain, negativity & depression.

​​

I offer a safe and therapeutic space where children, teens and family can explore a wide variety of activities, exercises and themes in a progressively deepening way such as:

• self-massage

• self-reflection

• deep breathing

• deep relaxation

• mini meditation

• formal meditation

• grounding & rooting

• pain-free movements

• yoga postures (asana)

• self-release movements

• focussing your attention

• informal meditation in everyday life

• mudras (hand gestures to express and change your inner state)

​

These tools are for you to:

• develop listening for meaning

• develop subjective sensory landmarks

• improve the capacity to adapt and be flexible

• develop awareness of the inner and outer spaces

• learn how to explore, understand and manage emotions

• develop a sense of how better to collaborate with others

• develop awareness of the different levels of consciousness

• become aware of the witness attitude and begin to cultivate it

• enhance concentration and focus, and the capacity for being present

• refine the senses, internalise them, and develop the kinaesthetic sense

• develop awareness of the interaction between different parts of the beings

• understanding the use of oneself, and accept one’s own limits and those of others

• develop awareness of the physical structure, and its interaction with gravity, so as to be able to more effective use yourselves

• develop a heightened sense of respect, responsibility, trust, self-confidence, patience, concern and awareness for one’s own timing or pace and that of others

• become aware of breathing patterns and the effects on various parts of your being, and how breath can be used to effect changes within the self

In short, it is a skillset you can use all your life for self-awareness, self-exploration and self-discovery. It helps you to explore all the different planes of your being.
