River Bear Yoga Foundation Training
About the training
Yoga, Play and Mindfulness
The training covers why yoga, play and mindfulness is a proven way to help children with their mental and physical health. It is also experiential, offering you the time to practice and learn the techniques for yourself. So you too receive the benefits of yoga, play and mindfulness. Reducing stress for everybody – creating healthy happy classrooms.
We deliver the training as either in-person workshop style training, or alternatively in an online format. The curriculum is designed for primary school children suitable from Nursery through to Year Six.
Workshop
The in-person foundation training consists of a one off 3 hour workshop delivered at your school at a convenient time for you. To book a workshop for your school, or find out when the next one is running, get in touch with us at hello@riverbearyoga.co.uk.
Online Course
Our online foundation training covers the same material and is designed to be participatory and engaging. The online course can be taken either as a whole school training (suitable also for childcare setting), or by individual teachers; and each participant receives our handbook and set of cards by post.
Please note: We’re just in the middle of setting up a new home for our online courses. In the meantime if you’re interested in enrolling please let us know.
