Tree pose (Vrksasana)

This is one of my favourite poses to share with children. Start with level one - one foot on top of the other, once they find their balance they can lift the foot against the calf. For level 3 progress to foot to thigh (always avoid the knee joint). Level 4 hands in front of heart and level 5 reach hands up above the head.
Still easy? Close your eyes!

This pose is great for building focus and helps children build coordination, balance and confidence.

It’s also easy to enjoy with a partner you can stand back to back or side to side and join your hands between you.

Tag me in your pics - I can’t wait to see you them!

A super home educating mumma reached out to me today about sharing yoga and it made me realised I haven’t talked about this for a while.

Yoga is fantastic for children helping both their physical and mental health. We build strength, balance coordination and meanings in flexibility whilst also building confidence. My resources help parents share child safe poses and mindfulness safely in an age appropriate way.

I have a great offer to support home ed families who want to share my resources with their families - if you’re interested please send me a dm and I’ll get all the details over to you!

I’m so excited to be coming back to .co.uk in Horsham to share another preschool workshop.

👋 It’s been a while since I said hi to everyone and welcome to my new followers - thank you for being a part of the Inner Child Yoga School community!

I’m Vic, a mother, teacher and children’s yoga specialist. I founded the Inner Child Yoga School with the mission of making the benefits of yoga accessible to all children and I’m making good progress. With schools joining my membership, teachers and parents benefiting form my resource bank, articles published in magazines such as Om Yoga Magazine, Education Choices and JUNO along with all the in person work I do in school, I’m spreading the word about children’s yoga as far and wide as I can.

If you’d like to share the benefits of yoga with children in a safe and age appropriate way, please get in touch as I’d love to help!

Throwing back this evening to an article I wrote for about why your school should make room for yoga in their busy curriculum.
If you’d like to take a look at my free information pack for schools and free taster lesson plans please send me a message.

Do you know a child or teen who is studying for exams? The pressures of exams can have a huge impact on young people and it’s important that we support them and make sure they know their value and wroth lies outside of exams grade.
Here are some practice tips for how you can support them during this time.
I’d love to hear what you do to help the children you work or live with during exam season.

So you share any of these strategies with the children in your home or class? Do you model them yourself?
Yoga is a powerful tool for children to help them notice their feelings and learn way to self-regulate.
Join my resource bank for lots of printable resources, scripts and games to share with your child or class.

Something I hear all the time is that “my child just won’t concentrate on anything”. I hear it from teachers as well “my class just can’t focus”.
Yoga is a research backed way to help your child focus and build their attention span. Balancing poses are great for focus finding as are lots of the breathing techniques we use.
If you really want to help your child build their focus my Find Your Focus series is waiting for you. It’s a six week programme with pre-recorded yoga classes, a printable journal and my tips for success for you - the parent/teacher.

NB - the series is included as a bonus in my school subscription 😉

I shared my thoughts on spring yoga in issue 83. Spring is a beautiful time to ease our bodies into more movement and maybe even make it outside!
Have you shared yoga with your family this spring? There’s plenty of inspiration for way to enjoy the Spring in JUNO and resources for sharing yoga over on my website.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga class set up 🧘‍♀️

I always set up my classes in a circle whether they are a class of 30 or private small group - it’s great to keep engagement high and helps me manage behaviour. It also helps us all feel equal.

If you’d like to book a 1:1, private group class or have me into your school send me a DM for more details

I’m so excited to share that I am adding another monthly parent and child class to my schedule.
With the Horsham class sold out every month so far I am adding a second monthly class on the third Sunday of the month at the super studio in Billingshurst.
This class is an opportunity to bond and exercise together. Both parent and child have their own mat and we move through solo flows and partner poses as well as some games and a cosy relaxation.
I can’t wait to see you there!

Having a slow day here today following from a beautiful long weekend with family. Throwing back to this quote from my article “Is your family benefitting from yoga yet?” In December issue. You can read this issue online on their website 💕🧘‍♀️⭐️

Sign up to enjoy a new bedtime yoga class for your child to enjoy in their PJs right before bed each day for four days (and rewatch them as often as you like!).

Here are eight poses I have been sharing in my Easter classes. Yoga helps children build coordination, strength and balance while teaching important life skills around self-regulation, building confidence and, of course, having fun! Give these poses a try over the long weekend

I am really honoured to have my article “Play Yoga Like a Child” shared in Om Yoga Magazine this month. Read the article in issue 139 (April 2023)

I have space to take on a new 1:1 client for a children’s yoga class on a weekly (or bi-weekly) basis.

The children I work with 1:1 currently range in age from 3-14 and all benefits from this type of class for different reasons.

Whether your child finds group classes overwhelming, has specific goals or needs or simply can’t make a group class due to a busy schedule, 1:1 classes might be for them.

Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss whether I could help your child through yoga.

Swipe to see a recent review of my 1:1 classes

Yoga is a really super way to build up children’s confidence.
It’s not a competitive space yet we still challenge our bodies and improve poses as we practice them.
The practices of gratitude and positive mantras have a profound affect on our mental health and positivity too.

This is a lovely breath to share this weekend to help younger children find a moment of calm.
I’m my classes i demonstrate this breath with the beautiful Hatch star but you can print out a star picture or even use your fingers to help you move through five deep and even breaths.
Let children breathe at their own pace but encourage a slow rather than fast breath.
