Children can express their creative side through, movement, breath and play in a non-competitive and safe environment. Yoga benefits the body by offering balance and flexibility, while breath work strengthens the lungs. It supports concentration and allows children to develop healthy techniques to tackle problem solving and stress.

In this programme children will be introduced to asanas (yoga postures), breathing techniques (pranayama), mindfulness, mantra and guided relaxation. The emphasis is on FUN and collaboration – often led by the children’s own ideas and imagination.

There will be a wide range of movement incorporated into class along with partner poses, songs, stories and games.

Class Structure:

• Connect (Welcome & Snack time)

• Move (games, dance, balance, sun salutes)

• Learn (yoga challenge / pose cards / flow)

• Relax (mindfulness, guided relaxation, story time)

Your Kanuka Afterschool Yoga Teachers:

Meet Carol, seasoned yoga teacher and devoted mum to her own 7 year old girl. Carol truly values weaving mindfulness, breath awareness & playful movement together for children and is thrilled to have the opportunity to share this mind body wisdom with Kanuka’s local kids. She is gentle & playful in both her parenting style & yoga teaching style, with a deep understanding of holding space & co- regulation, the intention will be to bring some grounding into their day, alongside healthy movement & fun! 

Meet Raquel, a trauma-informed yoga teacher who weaves in an understanding of attachment styles, nervous system regulation, and neurodiversity into the wellness spaces she facilitates. She studied Psychology with an emphasis on early childhood development and spent most of her 20s in childcare roles such as camp counselor, full-time nanny, toddler teacher, and babysitter. She brings an upbeat energy while creating a sense of safety and ease for the little people around her. She will be supporting Carol for sessions with higher attendance.
