Mindfulness, breathing and relaxation techniques are also explored in a fun and safe environment. There is usually some yogic crafting or mandala colouring too.

In this workshop we’ll play with yoga poses through games, creative play, stories, structured sequencing and team work to build an Easter-themed yoga flow!

Children aged 4 years to teens.
