In Nursery, School and College

oodia yoga can deliver yoga in your pre-school, primary, intermediate or high school. Given the large number of possibilities it would be best to contact us to discuss what will work within your setting. Whether it’s a weekly 30 minute session for 18 pre-schoolers or a one-off 75 minute class for 28 primary school students, all requirements can be accommodated. Adults shouldn’t miss out on their yoga either – check out our special programme for school staff.

We have had Dawn from Wee Yogi Warriors coming in and running yoga sessions with our preschool children since the start of 2020. Initially we were a little unsure of how the children would respond, needless to say we were not disappointed! Dawn has a beautiful manner with the children, they listen well and love participating. Dawn keeps the sessions, fun and themed, often taking the interests of the children and incorporating them in. The teachers want their own sessions!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for our Yoga session at the end of last term. I had many “reluctant” (but most probably nervous) children before the session - mainly boys who thought it was a girl’s thing. However, they all thoroughly enjoyed it and the different techniques and activities you used had them all engaged. We would LOVE the opportunity to be able to have a yoga session on a more regular basis as I think it is really beneficial for everyone to learn these life-long skills.
