Yoga in Schools, Tonbridge, Kent

Yoga for Mindfulness & Self-Regulation

While yoga offers many physical benefits, my focus is on using it as a tool to develop mindfulness and improve self-regulation—particularly through breathing exercises and mindful games.

Yoga supports coordination, balance, and strength, but its impact goes far beyond the body. Increasing research highlights its positive effects on mental health. It provides a calm space to slow down, turn attention inward, and disconnect from the constant noise of the outside world. This allows the body and mind to recharge, regulate, and build resilience.

The skills learned on the mat extend beyond the class—they can support children in daily life. Yoga can help improve mental well-being, manage stress, enhance sleep, and even spark creativity.
