Yoga CPD
'Tweens to Teens Yoga Workshop' (this course is suitable for teachers/TAs of Year 5/6 boys and girls (particularly good to help schools address the additional '30 minutes of activities per day'...and sustainable, so a good use of Sports Funding).
This Yoga Workshop (delivered by Mini Me Yoga) is especially designed to equip teachers with the tools to deliver Yoga sessions to help promote physical and emotional wellbeing to children in their schools.
The benefits of yoga are well documented as having a positive effect on so many issues that are prevalent in young people today (see below)

Learning to slow down to experience joy instead of fight and flight mode, often missing in aYung people's life.
