Kids love yoga too
Midlands Yoga specialises in bringing yoga and wellbeing to the community. As well as undertaking yoga in our Tamworth studio, we are sharing our knowledge and love of yoga within schools and school children. We feel this is such an important step for children to take, as starting the yoga journey early in life will be beneficial for them in many ways. Yoga helps children to:
-
Develop body awareness
-
Learn how to use their bodies in a healthy way
-
Manage their emotions
-
Improve coordination and flexibility
-
Manage stress through breathing, awareness, meditation and healthy movement
-
Builds concentration
-
Increase their confidence and positive self-image
-
Feel part of a healthy, non-competitive group
-
Yoga teaches calming techniques
-
Have an alternative to tuning out through constant attachment to electronic devices
Our classes are adapted so that they fit in with the curriculum so that teachers can carry on the learning in class, and can talk to the children about what they have learnt. All school ages are catered for.
We also take pride in our corporate style yoga classes for staff members after school too. Yoga can also benefit teachers by:
Giving them an alternate way to handle challenges in the classroom Giving them a healthy activity to integrate with lesson plans Give them a way to blend exercise into their classes
We have worked with schools in the Tamworth area such as Thomas Barnes, Saint Elizabeth's and currently at Dosthill Primary, which we will be carrying in into the next academic year. Midlands Yoga also teach further afield in Tipton and within the West Midlands. Any of these schools that have Midlands Yoga teach their children yoga, will be more than happy to give you a reference. All our staff have been DBS checked.
We are more than happy to come in and discuss this with you or if you would like any more info please let us know.
