How to build confidence in children
Some kids naturally have more confident characters than others – but I do believe that we can all learn to be more confident.

Guided Relaxation for Children

Last week I talked to you about 3 of the magic ways that great children’s yoga is able to balance energy levels – to leave pretty much all kids feeling calm and relaxed by the end (when taught right!).
How to help children calm down
One of the main reasons I love sharing yoga with children so much, is the incredible effect it has on balancing their energy levels and helping kids calm down.
Breathing for Self Regulation | Help Children Feel Calm
Learning to breathe properly and practise specific breathing exercises, are a big part of what makes yoga so holistically beneficial.

How to help children self regulate (calm themselves down)
Yoga teaches us how to be more present and mindful.

In today’s episode, I share 3 ways that children can use techniques they learn in yoga, as tools to help self regulate and feel calm.

Athletics warm up for kids
It’s Summer time and this month and next I know there are lots of sports days happening and extra time for athletics and games outside! Whilst kids don’t need to warm up and cool down in the same way that adults do (they’re just so springy!), it’s still a great idea to get them into good habits.
