Group and individual classes to practise yoga and mindfulness with young children.
mindfulness & yoga for children
Playing for Health!
Practising together with your child means you both benefit from everything that yoga and mindfulness have to offer. This is a space to have fun and breathe together- to play, stretch, laugh and rest, so that we automatically relish the present moment and the magic of childhood. Here there is no hurry or stress and no striving to compete or achieve.
Sessions are for 3 – 7 year olds, their adult and siblings.

What to expect at Clunie Clouds
Clunie Clouds will structure a session around rhythms of high energy then quiet rest, giggles then focus, specific yoga asanas then free play – following the innate movements of the child’s energy and growth.
Sessions will therefore nurture the mind, emotions and the body of each child.
The head, the heart, the hand.
Regular classes follow the seasons, and take place both in the studio and outside in nature.
To be at home in the body with yoga stretches and positions can promote good health, better concentration and learning, and an increased calm when needed.
We work with front bends to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the child ( -and adult) feel grounded and calm; with back bending poses to stimulate the sympathetic system, to energise and increase oxygen circulation; with standing poses to build strength in all the muscles; with balancing poses to improve concentration, focus and coordination
Moving and breathing with yoga, children become more in touch with how they are feeling, both physically and emotionally. They are given tools to use if they need to wind down, relax, or manage “scary” emotions such as sadness and anger.
