The Calm Your Kids classes have been designed to guide children through simple relaxation skills in a practical and enjoyable way, while also teaching them exercises they can utilise in their every day lives.  The classes also provide children with the opportunity to put these skills into practice while also being able to experience being completely calm and carefree. Calm Your Kids classes are 45 to 60 minutes in length and include a combination of imaginative movement games, basic yoga stretches, breathing exercises, peer massage, positive affirmations, mindfulness exercises and meditation.
Each class is structured according to a theme and the children enjoy being able to immerse themselves in this fantasy world, imagining being a tree blowing in the breeze in a magical forest, or a rock sitting still and calm by the seaside, or even as a superhero flying through the air. Children are also given the opportunity to add to the classes with their own imaginative suggestions and themes. The teachers always try to engage each individual child in the group exercises and encourage each child to practice these exercises in a way that is both safe and helpful for themselves and the group as a whole. Particular attention is paid to any children that may appear especially anxious or apprehensive about the class, and it is often found that once the child is approached as an individual and given a special role to play in the creativity of the class, they are able to release their worries and become fully immersed in the relaxation process. The benefits of a Calm Your Kids class generally include: * a relaxing of the mind and body * the opportunity for quiet and calm * an increase in self-esteem and self-confidence * enhanced creativity and imagination * improved concentration, memory and listening skills * increased coping skills and regulation of emotions * enhanced self-awareness and respect for others * can assist with sleeping difficulties Calm Your Kids classes are based on a relaxation program that has helped thousands of children and parents around the world to live a more peaceful and relaxed life. We hope that we can help to make the lives of yourself and your child just as magical, peaceful and calm! | ||||||||||||||||||||||
