Mindfulness and Yoga Teacher
In 2017 I founded Mindful Kids Cornwall which brings life-enhancing mindfulness skills to primary and secondary school pupils across the county.
​
We teach the .b and Paws b courses developed by the UK's leading advocate of mindfulness for children, the Mindfulness in Schools Project. The courses have a wealth of research and evidence of efficacy and are accessible and fun.

I trained to teach children's yoga in 2010 with Calm for Kids in London. Yoga Children’s yoga is fun, creative and non-competitive. The use of animated poses and basic stretching exercises promote strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness. Breathing and visualisation techniques teach children how to focus, relax and develop self-control.
