Supporting Children to access Yoga in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
Children’s Yoga for Nursery, Reception & KS1
I love sharing yoga with little ones! I teach Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 1 children through fun, playful, yoga sessions.
I am a qualified Speech and Language Therapist, so I know how important speaking and listening skills are. In every class, we build communication through stories, movement, games and gentle discussion.
I work closely with your school so each yoga session links to your weekly topic or theme. Every class is carefully planned just for you and your children.
Each class supports both physical development AND language development for children of all abilities.
What happens in a session?
For children aged 3–7, I use yoga stories, fun yoga shapes simple breathing games and calm, quiet moments.
Children learn about their bodies, how they move, and how they feel.
We explore feelings and emotions. We talk about what happens in our bodies when we feel happy, sad, worried or excited, and what we can do to help ourselves.
We gently explore tricky times too, such as
- Being away from grown-ups
- Friendship worries
- Big feelings
- Finding learning hard
Through exciting yoga adventures, children meet positive role models and learn simple strategies to help them feel calm, brave and confident.
Yoga with me is about movement, imagination, confidence and kindness … and, of course, lots of fun!

Supporting your Team
Yoga teaches so many wonderful skills for children, whatever their needs.
And the best things is that yoga doesn’t stop when we put the mats away. The skills travel back into the classroom too. Children build attention and concentration, practice speaking and listening, and grow in confidence as they learn to understand and manage their feelings.
There are lots of simple ways that yoga can support learning across the school day. I can help you weave those skills into your classrooms in a way that feels natural and fun.
And of course, yoga is powerful for grown-ups too. I also offer courses and workshops for staff, focused on self-care, well being and managing stress. Because calm, supported adults make the very best role models for children.
