Yoga
|
| Yoga is offered on a regular basis to all age groups throughout the nursery. The sessions given focus on movements that are safe and appropriate for the child's age. Babies respond well to short yoga and baby massage sessions, often on a one to one basis, usually falling asleep after around 10 minutes. |

Whereas with the older children, yoga is incorporated into a variety of activities, such as storytelling and role-play, where children pretend to be different animals by using certain yoga postures and movements.
The staff who provide these yoga sessions are supported by an experienced yoga teacher who is a member of the British Wheel of Yoga, with more than twenty years experience. Yoga teacher training sessions are held at Silks Farm Nursery School on a weekly basis to ensure that we continue to deliver safe, appropriate and high quality yoga sessions.
Yoga for children is an enjoyable activity that can provide major benefits to your child. It will help them grow stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally whilst having lots of fun too!
