These special yoga sessions for families with adopted children are designed to encourage co-operation and communication between parents and children and to help nurture family relationships.

Yoga helps both adults and children to develop an understanding and awareness of themselves and their relationships with others. The active, physical aspect of yoga helps build self-confidence and self-esteem in a non-stressful, non-competitive atmosphere. The quiet, focused aspects of Yoga practice allow time for reflection and for experiencing calm.

The main elements of each session are: imaginative yoga based movement using stories, music, rhymes and games; breath awareness exercises and guided relaxation appropriate to children; positive touch exercises. The sessions will finish with a drink and a snack, plus the opportunity for families to meet and chat.

The yoga sessions will be led by Lisa McRory and Cara Bowen, both of whom are qualified and experienced yoga teachers. Cara is also an adoptive parent, while Lisa has extensive experience of teaching children’s yoga in schools. Both teachers are CRB checked.

You can come to one session or attend all three as a course. Sessions are designed to complement each other and build on the previous day’s experiences, but can also be enjoyed as a one-off family activity.

Inspired by the fun of sharing my yoga practice with my young daughter, in 2009 I trained as a children’s yoga teacher with Calm for Kids.

I am available to teach private classes for groups of children in your home or other venues. Please contact me for further information.
