In the Hatha Yoga Pradapika (an ancient yogic text) it says;"When the Breath wanders, the mind is unsteady, but when the Breath is still, so is the mind still.”
What valuable information and tools will help us implement this important idea with children and teens?
In my work with children, teens and families over the past 20 years I have noticed the importance in the way of delivering breathing practices including the understating of the relationship between breath and stress.
If you are working with children and curious to know more about the many benefits of breath awareness and breathing practices, I would like to invite you to join me for a 1 day workshop and explore together with me the wonders of breathing.
This workshop will equip you with the tools and knowledge (research based) which will enable you to deliver breathing practices and breath awareness practices to children and teens while encouraging curiosity, enriching knowledge and inviting playfulness.
We will find creative ways to support children’s and carers wellbeing through breath work by making the knowledge and the practices accessible both in your classes and in their daily life.
This is an interactive, retreat style workshop, connecting together people who are excited and curious to learn about Breath. There will be plenty of opportunities to share practices with one another, ask questions and experiment.
The workshop is delivered in an intimate manner at a magical garden studio in the N12 area in London and includes delicious vegan lunch.
I keep numbers for the workshop low in order to allow space to work with individual needs.
All materials and props for the workshop will be provided on the day.
Upon completion of the workshop you will receive a certificate accrediting you with 5 CPD points.
This workshop is suitable for yoga teachers, children yoga teachers, occupational therapists, school teachers and other professionals who are working with children and have been practicing yoga themselves.
A free monthly continue support is offered to all who participate in this workshop.

Since the pandemic more children and teens are showing signs of PTSD.
​
As adults, we can potentially understand from a cognitive space what has happened. Children's cognitive skills are less develop than those of adults and therefore children primarily operate from a felt and observational sense.
You may have noticed more children in your classes that are presenting as ADHD or get agitated very quickly, possibly getting angry, aggressive or completely shut down and passive.
Understanding trauma, how it presents and how to work with it, is key to offering yoga to children at this time. By deepening your understanding of how trauma affects body and mind, you will be able to better support children.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
-
How our nervous system reacts to triggers
-
How to work with trauma using 5 key elements of trauma sensitive yoga
-
How to help children self regulate
-
How to empower children
