Working through Structure One of the tried and tested Yoga Bananas® Technique - This is a full-on demonstration day in which you will be expected to be fully immersed. The day includes original storytelling and rhythm and rhyme to yoga movement because where there's an action there's a story. On this day you will begin to understand how movement and physicality play a role in helping children understand and take control of their mind's narrative.

 

Be prepared to connect with your inner child as you learn breath awareness, postural alignment, dynamic empathy exercises, controlled transitions, the power of respect, songs, chants, visualisations, classroom management and much, much more, and always through creative techniques that spark the imagination. The Technique not only builds children's confidence but by the very nature of yoga and its roots within the sacred Vedic tradition offers children the opportunity to explore their intuitive nature and spirituality.
