Ren Yoga classes for children

Monthly workshops: Saturdays 09:00-11:00

Ren Yoga classes for children aged 5-11 begins with visual and imaginative breathing exercises, followed by active movement to warm up. This will involve Sun Salutation A and B; the repetitive nature of this classical approach to any adult yoga class is great for children to practice also, as they enjoy returning to this set sequence and grow in confidence the more they are familiar with it. The classes will have a theme, which may be a mindful journey ‘the ocean’ ‘space’ ‘Africa’ or emotion/physical based themes such as ‘strength’ ‘balance’, ‘confidence’ & ‘flexibility’.

We encourage students to explore working as one (altogether) flowing through sequences, but also to have moments during the class to explore their own interpretations of the yoga poses alone or with supervision from myself. Yoga poses will flow into a peak pose, which is the pose we will explore and build on over the entire course. Lastly the classes will always use music and games as a way of keeping a strong sense of light heartedness throughout, to provide relaxation and instil confidence in all students.
