Imagine Breathe Achieve yoga and mindfulness lessons are designed for children in Early Years provision, to enhance their overall well-being in a unique way that clearly aligns with the Statutory Framework. I invite each child to become involved in a comfortable, non-competitive way, which embraces their individuality. I aim to provide an experience that meets each child wherever they are in their development, allowing them to build confidence and independence. By bringing positive energy, encouraging imagination and self expression, I foster lovely relationships with the children as they engage in something different and fun during their usual school day.
The take-home activity reminds the children of the story of their learning. This also encourages the childrens’ grown-ups to ask about what they have done at school, encouraging the children to recall and describe their lesson. Because my lessons are multi-sensory, interactive learning experiences, they are accessible and inclusive for children who learn in very different ways. They can also be adapted for any children with additional needs. Through the promotion of mental and physical well-being, my lessons help to build strong self-esteem and resilience, which should also have a positive impact on the childrens’ academic achievement.
Learning themes are strong throughout each lesson and a package can include up to 12 relevant themes / lesson plans. These include:
- Being unique
- Being brave
- Kindness and generosity
- Worries and asking for help
- Co-operation and teamwork
