Testimonials

“Our early years classes have thoroughly enjoyed using these, and the children have been very enthusiastic. The staff have commented on how easy they are to implement and also how they link to other areas of the curriculum. Staff have noticed an improvement in listening, turn taking and the use of descriptive language with the children who participated in the pilot. They have also noted an increase in confidence of those children as they eagerly, willingly and confidently demonstrate the activities to the other children and staff. The children have brought what they have learned from these sessions into the school and nursery environment, and at
home. ”

“As a school we encourage children to take part in activities which promote mindfulness and a sense of calm. YogiROOTS™ tied in really nicely with this and we were able to make reference to skills that the children had previously about stopping, being still and noticing their bodies, their feelings, and their surroundings.

Awakening Our Senses was a lovely settling activity which focussed and engaged pupils. Teachers in classes where pupils find transitioning back into learning after playtime/lunchtime quite challenging have also utilised this activity in classrooms.

Some children from our nurture room who find building connections with others challenging engaged well with the Just be… and Let’s Connect activities and enjoyed working with a partner. It is lovely to see them utilising social and communication skills so well, and children are sitting straighter and more aware of their posture. ”

“Let’s go and look at the clouds again! I can see a race car being chased by a monster. Oh look, over there is a giant elephant!

I love looking at the clouds, they are so beautiful. Maybe if I stay here long enough it will rain and I can feel it on my tongue. ”

“I think this is an excellent tool for physical and mental health. It is a fantastic opportunity for nursery children, providing challenges and teaching breathing and mindfulness. Great fun and enjoyed so much. ”

“Excellent impact on the health and wellbeing aspect of children’s development at nursery level. Gives children some quick relaxation time. Some children were practising yoga poses during nursery free time without being prompted to do so.”

“A fantastic course which I really enjoyed, well organised and a good range of activities to suit all age ranges and abilities. I hope I get more opportunities to use it within my group settings.”
