Come with one child per adult and work together through a variety of sporting practices to get your heart pumping, muscles working and endorphins flowing! Working to complete various challenges set in a circuit you learn to build your bond, communication, stamina, agility, strength, and endurance together. Classes take place at the Soma Lab on Church St.

These classes, which take place at the Soma Lab on Church St, help children aged five to 12 develop awareness and wellness emotionally and physically. Each week they use yoga to explore a topic using the art of storytelling, be it strength, perseverance, friendship or overcoming anxiety.
The stories spark the physical memory of the poses alongside breathing techniques and coping mechanisms and across the course of half a term the children will develop the ability to move their body within the yoga flow effectively and with more ease.
Every week they will be introduced to different tools to help them work through various emotions using breath-work and musical movement.
Their emotional intelligence is explored and developed through discussion, art, crafts and games.
