Kids Classes - 6 to 12 year olds

Children do Yoga inspired yoga classes allow children to practice yoga in a fun and inclusive environment while developing a lifelong love of yoga. Throughout the course children will learn and become familiar with a range of basic yoga postures to develop strength, flexibility and balance. Postures are introduced and practiced in a playful and imaginative manner incorporating games and interactive storytelling to capture children’s own creativity within their practice. Elements of mindfulness and meditation are incorporated through narrative and visualisations to develop focus and a sense of inner tranquillity.

Expect your child to be proud and passionate about their yoga practice and may this sense of joy radiate into all areas of their lives.  

About Michelle

Michelle comes from a creative background working as an actor, children’s entertainer and storyteller and uses these skills to make her yoga classes fun and imaginative for young people. She is also a qualified primary school teacher and has taught yoga in school and afterschool clubs. Michelle has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and has found it to be a positive influence in her life.  She recognises that young children are natural yogis and believes that yoga allows them to retain their natural flexibility while providing an environment and the tools to quieten the mind, re-centre and self-regulate stress.  

Michelle attended children’s yoga classes with her son and the combination of the children’s enjoyment, along with the benefits of yoga to children lives and well-being, inspired her to become a children’s yoga teacher. She trained in Hove with Jessica Wingate (Children do Yoga) and now teaches with Jess on the teacher training course. Michelle is an aerial yoga addict completing her teacher training with Flying Fantastic in London and her 200 hours with YogaHaven.  She holds a qualified teacher status (QTS), DBS, and first aid certificate.
