School Programs:

I create engaging programs for schools that support children settling into the school environment through movement, stories and songs. I created a program called Stretch and Grow - for Scoile Mhuire Coolcotts Co. Wexford. This program was for upcoming junior infant students as part of a settling in program.

I create Yoga and mindfulness blocks of 4-6 week programs designed for each school based on the schools goals and focus. My sessions combine Yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, music, movement, team work, stories, relaxation and more giving children a fun , engaging and supportive experience. Building understanding and tools for emotional resilience, self regulation , confidence and social skills. The Kids Yoga Classroom is inclusive and welcoming to all children, offering a safe space for everyone to explore movement, mindfulness and creativity.

July Provision: Fun Yoga/ Mindfulness for children

These July provision Sessions give children the opportunity to try something new or continue to develop skills that support their emotional and physical wellbeing. Tools they can use throughout their school year. Sessions are designed for age groups, number of children and what the goal of July provision may be for that school. I have worked with many schools yearly for their July provision programs.

Amber Flag:

A yoga and mindfulness program supports working towards the Amber Flag supporting positive mental health and wellbeing of students. Through yoga, breathwork, creative mindfulness, stories and more get in touch for a tailored program for your school.

Healthy/ Wellbeing week:

Yoga is a super addition to a wellbeing or healthy week in a school. Why not have The Kids Yoga Classroom as part of this enjoyable week for the school to experience the benefits of yoga for children. A one or two day ptogram for the school can be put together.

Testimonials:

Ballyoughter National School We recently had the please of hosting a yoga session for the pupils in our school as part of Wellbeing Week. Ciara was so helpful and supportive from the moment I made contact. It was a fantastic experience for the kids and they thoroughly enjoyed the day. The sessions contained different activities ranging from simple yoga poses, mindfulness, breathing activities, stories and body awareness and movement. Each session was structured appropriately to capture the interests of all age groups. Thank you Ciara for the positive impact you have had and we looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

Scoil Mhuire Rosslare, Bobby Kenny, Principal. We had Ciara teach yoga to our pupils during our summer programme and throughout the school year, working with all class levels from junior infants through to sixth class. From the outset, it was clear that Ciara has a real gift for working with children. She was excellent with the pupils and demonstrated a genuine understanding of how to engage young learners. What impressed us most was Ciara's ability to tailor each lesson to suit the varying needs and abilities of our pupils. She was flexible and responsive, adapting her approach for different age groups and ensuring that every child could participate at their own level. Whether working with our youngest pupils or our senior classes, she pitched the sessions perfectly. The children absolutely loved the yoga sessions and looked forward to them each week. We found that yoga integrated beautifully with our SPHE, PE and Art curricula, complementing the work we were already doing in these areas. The sessions supported the children's physical development, mindfulness, emotional regulation and creativity in ways that really enhanced our overall programme. Ciara's approach was professional, warm and engaging throughout. She created a calm, positive atmosphere that the children responded to wonderfully. Her communication with staff was excellent and she was always reliable and well-prepared. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending Ciara to any school considering yoga classes for their pupils. She was a valuable addition to our school community and we were very fortunate to have her work with us.
