🥳 YOGA PARTIES WITH YOGAFUL MINDS 🎉

I had an amazing day yesterday helping to celebrate Freddie’s 7th birthday with his very own yoga party! We had so much fun and it was a real pleasure to be with him on his special day.

🥰 We started with a game; we each had to say something we loved about Freddie and then perform our own yoga pose
🧠 We played a memory game so the children had to really focus their minds
🔔 We then moved onto the bell game - each bell was assigned a yoga pose and when the bell rang, the children had to perform the correct pose
👫 We worked well together to create partner poses - the children were so respectful of each other’s bodies
🍫 We did a chocolate meditation using all of our senses
👀 We decorated our own eye masks
🧘🏻‍♀️ We finished with some relaxation (using our eye masks!) and a lovely guided meditation.

If you would like to book your child a yoga party please visit my website: www.yogafulminds.com for more information or email me at [email protected]

🧘🏽‍♂️ TEEN YOGA 🧘🏻‍♀️

Tonight, with my teen group, we focussed on stretching and strengthening the legs, practising strong warrior poses and grounding balances. We finished with legs up the wall pose for relaxation and really noticed the benefits!

3 benefits of legs up the wall pose:

1. Supports your lymphatic and glymphatic systems and gives your immune system a boost.

2. Helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system – our rest and digest state.

3. Relieves aching muscles and joints and swollen ankles and feet.

🔥FIRE ELEMENT🔥

🔥 Tonight we focussed on our inner fire by doing core based poses that ignited fire in our bellies!
🧘🏽‍♂️ We then did some counter poses to strengthen our lower back - locust is our favourite!
🔔 We moved onto a mindful activity - each of the bells was assigned a yoga pose. They had to listen very carefully to the sound and perform the correct pose. It was LOTS of fun!
🕯️We finished with another favourite - candle gazing meditation to focus on our inner light.

These children have made such wonderful progress in their practice and it shows!

🪄 Tonight the children used ribbon wands to move in time with their own breath.
😮‍💨 This inspired them to create their own breathing techniques
🪞 They then experimented with the breath as they mirrored each other’s movements.

🥰

GUIDED VISUALISATION
Stress is a normal part of life, even for children. During moments of stress, they can learn to achieve a sense of calm and peace through guided imagery.

😌 Guided imagery for kids is a simple stress relief practice that involves using their imagination.

😌 Through visualisation, they can experience many benefits such as reducing pain, increasing their creativity, lowering anxiety levels and aiding sleep.

😌 Kids can use it anytime they are feeling overwhelmed or need a confidence boost.

I use this tool regularly in my yoga sessions during relaxation and the children respond so positively.

☺️ My yoga workshop was a HUGE success! This group spent the whole day immersed in happiness 🥰

😮‍💨 We started with breath of joy to energise
🧘🏽‍♂️ We practised yoga poses to release dopamine
🛁 We made bath salts to bring happiness when indulging in self-care
🔗 We made connection bracelets to bond us together
🤣 We did laughter yoga to release serotonin
🌈 We made happiness rainbows to celebrate all that brings us joy
😴 We finished with relaxation, guided visualtion and a lovely facial massage.

I LOVE what I do and I feel so much gratitude to be able to share in so much joy!

Thank you for supporting my small business - it means the world! 🌍

I can’t wait for the next one… watch this space! 👀

💫 CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK 💫

It has been a real pleasure to spend the day teaching yoga in this lovely school helping them to mark such an important week.

🧘🏻‍♀️ CREATIVE YOGA 🧘🏽‍♂️

Tonight the children used yoga cards to create their own yoga sequences. They discussed how each of the poses could flow from one to another and then practiced their sequences together. They then performed them for the rest of the group. Needless to say, they loved it!! 😍

🧘🏻‍♀️ TEEN YOGA STARTING AFTER HALF TERM 🧘🏽‍♂️
