Aligned to the school curriculum, we help students develop essential life skills needed to thrive in today's ever more stressful world.

Why is yoga and mindfulness
so important for primary students?

Our primary aged kids are stressed like never before. Anxiety, depression and meltdowns have never been so widespread.

Social media and screen addiction is an ever-growing and scary reality, leading to a myriad of problems that include, but are not limited to:

poor social-emotional development
poor quality sleep
depression + anxiety
impaired emotional comprehension
increase in aggressive behaviours
limited self-regulation and resilience skills
poor posture - compromising breathing + digestion

1 in 10 children aged 6 to 11 now meet the criteria for diagnosable anxiety
