Mindfulness & Kids Yoga

✅ Get to know MY BODY – Mindful of our body

Learn about different body parts and our superpower breath.

Understand our body is all different and very smart. When we do something new, we are introducing changes to both the body and mind. What happens when there is a change, we might like it, we might not and the most important thing is we don’t judge. We allow time for the body and mind to experience the changes. We allow time for the body to thrive and adapt.

How can we help? Rest & stretch.

✅ Get to know MY MIND – Silent Yoga & promote creativity

Understanding our brain is super smart, alert us when there is a danger to protect us or inform us something is super fun, and let’s do it quickly. Who is even smarter than our brain? You – the combination of your brain, breath, and heart.

How to overcome fear? Deep breath in and out. Understand the steps needed to do the challenge, try and ask for help

How to calm the excited mind? Sometimes when asked to do something, we think it is so easy and we are excited, we laugh, we talk and we lose our breath and attention. We can be excited yet mindful. Being mindful keeps us aware. When we are aware, we are safe because we can pay attention

✅ Get to know MY LIFE – Mindful Living

Understand that we all have superpowers to help achieve what we want if we get to know ourselves and the people around us better. The first step is to slow down and take our superpower breath.

Mindful Mind – Rest, Rejuvenate & Refocus. Learn simple meditation and relaxation techniques

Aerial Yoga

• Inversions are a great tool for self-regulation to the central nervous system
• Fun and therapeutic environment to flip, rock and swing to improve body and spatial awareness
• Upside down with the help of gravity aligns and decompress the spine, promotes blood circulation and a calming sensory to the brain
• Movements in different orientations and directions help develop a strong sense of balance; train the brain’s focus, motor planning, and working memory
• Up in the air enhances self-confidence, responsibility and require good observation and listening skills to move in and out of different poses

Research has shown that your child’s brain and body are calmer and more integrated after they flip, swing, and go upside down. We focus on teaching values through fun play! It’s not what we teach but how we teach it. The teachers and the space make a difference, and you will understand why it’s our signature program when your child experiences it.

Values we cultivate through the fun play activities:

• Growth Mindset
• Emotion Regulation
• Resilience
• Body Awareness
• Social Cues

Mindful Eating

Today’s fast-paced society tempts people with an abundance of food choices and technology is a distraction, shifting our attention away from the actual act of eating. Eating becomes a mindless act, often done quickly. This can be problematic since it takes our brain up to 20 minutes to realize we are full.

By eating mindfully, we restore our attention and slow down, making eating an intentional act instead of an automatic one.

• Allowing children to explore and be willing to try food that is within and out of their comfort zone
• Aim to intrigue their curiosity, it is okay for them to verbalise their preference yet the goal is to be willing to try different things
• If your child has a strict diet or allergies, please notify us during the registration. Alternatively, bring your own lunch.

Learning Points:

• Slow down and enjoy the act of eating
• Engaging our senses by noticing colours, smells, sounds, textures and flavours
• Noticing the effects food has on our feelings and emotions
• Appreciating food
• Connecting food with the circle of life. Understand how and what we eat affects the world.

Lunch Provided

• Day 1: Japanese omelette fried rice, fruits and yogurt.
• Day 2: Chicken Yakiniku with rice and sautéed vegetable, fruits and yogurt.
• Day 3: Fried noodles, braised mushroom with beancurd skin, roasted chicken, fruits and yogurt.
• If your child has food allergies or dietary requirements, you can pack your own lunch.

Body Science – Musculoskeletal (Locomotor)

The musculoskeletal system is also known as the locomotor system. It is made up of the skeleton, the skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage and other connective tissue. These parts work together to allow movement.

When a child learns about their body and how their body moves, it will

• increase their body awareness during their practice
• help them to understand how these muscles help them move, the pain & common injuries they have encounter through teenage hood

What will they learn?

• Skeletal system (skeleton)
• Muscular system (major muscles for mainstream sports)
• Cardiac muscles (muscles of the heart contract to pump blood out and then relax to let blood back in after it has circulated through the body.

Art Therapy
