To begin, each child will be invited to lie down on their mats, close their eyes, and focus on their breath. After a few minutes of mindful breathing, the class will then transition into games that will help the participants to become familiar with various yoga poses and explore their creativity through fun.
Next, the class will focus on mindful breathing and visualisation. Each child will be invited to find a comfortable position, close their eyes, and focus on their breath. They will be guided through a visualisation exercise, such as imagining themselves in a peaceful place, like a beach or a forest. This exercise will help the children to become more aware of their body and mind and will encourage a sense of relaxation.
Finally, the class will end with a relaxation exercise, by lying on their mats, closing their eyes, and focusing on their breath. They will be guided through a body scan exercise, where they focus on different body parts, such as their feet, legs, hands, arms, torso, leaving feeling more connected in mind and body.
