Family Yoga Therapy

A wonderful way for children and their parents/ carers to strengthen their relationship and understanding of each other. It’s not about achieving the perfect pose but about being and learning together.

Relaxation and Breathing Techniques for Stress and Anxiety

The pressures of modern life can expose children to a lot of stress and anxiety, especially around exam time. Learning relaxation techniques early on can equip children to manage stress in childhood, and later on as adults. Relaxation, play and exercise are key to ensuring children grow up feeling relaxed, happy and positive about themselves and world around them.

Relaxation and Breathing Techniques for Stammering

For children who stammer, breathing exercises can help them to use their voices, control the breath, and support the respiratory system. Learning breathing and relaxation techniques can help to alleviate stress and anxiety, which in turn has a positive impact on stammering.
