Primary School Reviews -
"Just wanted to say how much the children at our school have enjoyed their Friday Time To Relax sessions."
"We have had a great four weeks and I know that the children will really miss it this week. They loved the games and definitely improved their control and flexibility whilst practising the yoga poses. It has been a real treat to sit back and watch their confidence grow each week."
"The children have gained from developing their deep breathing techniques and awareness of mindfulness. We are incorporating this into daily lessons too, to focus the children after those livelier moments, to get them ready to learn."
"Many thanks for all your hard work. Our children have really had a great time taking part in the practical sessions."
