TWEENS POP-UP HAPPINESS

With Debs Grossman

Friday 22nd May 2020 | 4pm – 5pm

Join Debs on Zoom for a Tweens Pop Up ‘Happy’ yoga session
What makes us feel happy can be different for different people.

Lots of things can help us to feel happy…. Listening to music. Cuddles with mum. Playing with your furry friend. Eating your favourite ice cream. Hearing the sound of birds. A warm bubble bath. Laughing with friends. Lying on the grass in the sun.

Taking time to consider what these are for each of us and how we can find them can help us build us a ‘happiness toolbox’, something we can dip into any time we need a wee reminder.

Our session will encourage children to explore the different senses – feeling, discovering, smelling, listening, and all the things that bring the world to life. Bringing about an understanding of and ability to, control emotions and discover an appreciation for the beautiful world around us.

We will be using ‘Happy’ by Nicola Edwards & Katie Hickey, a wonderful book for children:

“We breathe deep and expand like the galaxy.
We breathe out many thousands of stars.
And if ever we start to feel panicky.
This reminds us of just who we are.”

Aimed at 7yrs +

For this session we will need:
Paper/notebook and pencils/pens, yoga mat, blanket, raisin/date/apricot or similar (chewy sweet texture), a piece of chocolate (small – not a bar!), crisp/peanut (something salty), something that your child likes the smell of e.g. a candle, bath oil, flower from the garden…
Squishy/textured ball, a shoebox or other kind of container or even a glass jar for the children to put things in if they want to .

Relaxation music if they children likes music – my suggestion is Silver Sky bu Enzo

Due to some logistical complications and operating procedures of maintaining our online services for the Kids & Tweens Yoga Club classes – it is with deep regret that we have had to make the decision to press pause on these specific classes. It will be our priority to resume this offering as soon as possible to ensure that we can serve everyone in our Heather Yoga community. In the meantime we are looking to film a couple of resources which you will be able to access to help support your child’s yoga practice. We would like to thank you for your patience, support and custom and we can’t wait to share more with you soon.

From help in sports, relationships, the classroom, and the home, yoga continuously supports growth and development. Aside from the physical benefits of yoga, yoga teaches tweens and teens techniques for coping with the unique issues they’re faced with everyday—insecurity about their changing bodies, the enormous pressure to fit in, stressful schedules, and uncertainty about their beliefs and their futures.
Movement, and therefore yoga, is essential for fast-growing bodies.
The practice of yoga offers adolescents a discipline for discovering who they truly are. Beginning that process at a young age can shape who a young person becomes.

It’s about nourishing their imagination, asking for their insights, and then genuinely listening to what they have to say.

Parent supervision is not necessary.

Prices: Discount for block of 6 or 5 classes which are valid for One Term Only (cannot be carried through to the next term) – £36 for 6 classes, £30 for 5 Classes, £8 One Drop In Class.
