“As a parent of two children, I think ZenKids is a great idea. My daughter Flo is only 5, but already does yoga at school and loves it. As parents we are so focused on our kids numeracy and literacy skills, but yoga uses mind and body like nothing else and I think it’s fantastic...whatever your age”
The Training
Good Practise – the experience of exploring children’s yoga. Children’s yoga has to be fun, co-creative, full of adventure and story-telling, it needs boundaries, and safety, and involves community and togetherness.
We need to think about the difference in the ages we teach in terms of enjoyment, catching imaginations, curriculum, and safety for growing energetic bodies.
Teaching Methodology and Structure – the building blocks of every class. Specialising yoga to the needs of young people, including mindful moments, appropriate safe and fun asana, playing with pranayama and specialist and imaginative shavasana.
We need to teach the full range of yoga asanas appropriate for each child’s age and encourage the benefits in a fun and inspirational way.
Includes a downloadable manual full of children's yoga postures and games, mindful moments and guided meditations for children.
Anatomy and Physiology – teaching a safe class. Development, adaptations, and contraindications, what’s happening throughout growth and what this means for your yoga instruction.
With our Children’s Occupational Therapist contributing to the content, this course is great for developing gross-motor skills, fine-motor skills and core stability, helpful for children when in the classroom.
We also focus on proprioceptive exercise which reassures the nervous system, this has a calming effect on the body and mind.
Neurodiverse Children - These practices are great for all children, including those needing particular attention to reassuring the nervous system and sensory systems. There are many studies which show how proprioceptive exercise like yoga, breathwork and mindfulness can really help stabalise and calm children on the spectrum.
Encouraging Community, Collaboration, Calm and Confidence – the four C’s, working together to support and encourage each other.
Yoga philosophy, lifestyle, ethics and bringing the WOW to your class – exploring the Yogic values of peace, truth, honesty, self-control, freedom, contentment, willpower, insight, resilience and compassion.
Using story-telling and time travel to transport us into exploring the freedom of our imagination and creating meaningful mindful moments.
