Hello!

My name is Lorraine and I started practising Yoga in my early 20s and have developed experience and knowledge of several different forms of yoga over the years.

 About 2 years ago, I began to bring my son, then 7 years old to class with me and saw just how much he benefited from the class - especially the meditation at the end.  More than that though, he enjoyed the physical challenge of the postures; yet it isn't loud or contact physical (rugby is his sport!) and helped him feel calm, centred and stable in a physical as well as emotional way.

This experience sparked my interest in learning about how children in a more broad sense could benefit from the practise of Yoga in their lives.  I researched training I could do and was lucky enough to discover that a local yoga teacher, Louisa Craig (LKY Yoga), was training people as Children's Yoga Instructors in my local area so I signed up without hesitation.  Louisa's approach is very thorough, yet fun, and encouraged my own inner child to come out and to enjoy the smiles and laughter that can come with yoga, as well as the theory, history, anatomical knowledge, and physical dos and don't with children and specific yoga postures.  I learned the physical, emotional and developmental importance that Yoga can bring and how to work these in to classes and one-to- one settings.

I have an inclusive approach to teaching and believe that every child can gain from regular yoga practise. I'd love to see you, and your child, in class one day!
