There are so many benefits to yoga, and the younger you start, the better!
Yoga can help to improve concentration, balance and strength; it can help with your child's body awareness and help them to cope with emotions and promote self esteem.
Yoga can be both energising and calming, giving children the opportunity to feel wide awake and full of energy, but also allowing them the space to relax, unwind and calm their minds.
Having two young children, I can see the benefits that yoga offers them and when we practice yoga together at home, there are lots of giggles but also a beautiful quiet time at the end.
Yoga for Kids classes with Laura’s Therapies
I offer classes to Early Years settings (ages 2-5 years). Alongside fun postures, often with a theme (e.g. pets, safari, holidays), we enjoy moments of calm and stillness in our sessions through relaxation and breath work. The classes are around 30 minutes long. They can be a nice way to start a day, bringing the children into a relaxed state, or a lovely way to finish the day, and wind down before they leave.
If you are interested in yoga for an Early Years setting please get in touch to discuss further.
I can provide references upon request and I am fully DBS checked (Enhanced DBS).
“Laura’s yoga sessions with us at Openwoodgate are amazing! She is brilliant with the children and really gets them involved in the sessions, all the poses are “age” and “stage” friendly and even us adults join in. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“My daughter and I both love pre-school yoga with Laura. The classes are very welcoming and a lovely opportunity to meet other families. The classes are always well organised, with a different theme each week and they are so engaging. Laura is a brilliant teacher and she knows how to bring the best out of the kids. We can’t recommend pre-school yoga enough!”

“Laura creates a safe environment for the children to explore, create and enjoy yoga postures. It’s beautiful to see the connections the children gain from the sessions spent together as well as being interactive for the parent and child too. Laura comes highly recommended. ”

“Laura has been visiting our Pre-school for the last year to deliver fantastic, engaging Pre-school yoga sessions. Laura is very professional and patient with our children, and supports each child’s needs sensitively to ensure inclusion. It was great that Laura was able to join us for our Pre-school graduation celebrations recently to showcase what the children had been working on. We look forward to working with Laura during our next school term.”

“We love attending Laura’s preschool yoga group! Laura is friendly and welcoming and delivers well planned and engaging yoga classes. The children love learning the different yoga positions and relaxation techniques, and there’s time for a drink and chat afterwards! We would highly recommend the group. Thank you Laura! ”
