Greenshoots yoga

Greenshoots yoga Greenshoots yoga offers yoga and mindfulness classes to children aged 5-18 as well as families. This school specialises in trauma lead education.

I have been a primary school teacher for 19 years, working for 4 years at St Richards Primary School in Longsight and then 8 years at Alderley Edge School for Girls. When my boys were young I left full time teaching trained as a yoga teacher-for children aged 5 plus and Teenagers. I then started Greenshoots Yoga and in the past 7 years I have taught after school clubs, yoga in schools, as well as staff training in chair yoga and mindfulness. Currently I work as part of a pastoral team at a primary school in Trafford. I have recently completed an online Trauma sensitive course and continue to develop my training in this area. I am affiliated with Independent Yoga Network, in teaching children yoga and mindfulness. Yoga has been a fundamental part of my life for over 19 years now. In a society where expectations are high, from a young age, the yoga mat provides children with a place where they can have fun, express themselves creatively and develop their self-confidence. My aim is to give children the tools of yoga and mindfulness to draw on throughout their lives. For example; in times of emotional stress or academic pressure. Yoga and mindfulness help promote mental and physical resilience, which can be applied to everyday life. Mindfulness is also done throughout the lesson, via breathing exercises, reflection and reciting positive affirmations. Greenshoots yoga offers fun and accessible yoga and mindfulness classes to children aged 5-18. For more details of classes and Family Yoga or Yoga in schools please contact me:

Why I always include music and dance/ movement or shake out into my parent and child sessions?

-Moving to music immediately changes our energy from tired to energised or sad to hopeful etc

-dance and movement can help generate serotonin and dopamine ( feel good hormones) and release cortisol ( stress hormone).

-helps stop overthinking and rumination

Plus it's a great icebreaker before the yoga begins!

I love these sessions and meet the loveliest people who want to learn yoga, mindfulness and regulation skills together.

Next date is to be released soon.

No one can prepare you for the changes that occur when you get a puppy-
So unbelievably time consuming, an extra layer ( or 2) of work, ongoing problem solving techniques... sacrifices made.
But the love..I mean thought I had enough love until she came into my life.
Ps-did I mention I'm cream crackered! 🌱🫶🏻

So grateful for where Greenshoots takes me. Today it took me to a sixth form college in Manchester to teach small group therapeutic yoga.
Such a brilliant session.
My small business is almost 10 years old-
I really love the people and places I experience through my work.
Making my passion and interest become my living has been the best thing I've ever done.
Although it's tough sometimes-
When I'm shown appreciation it just feeds me-
A perfect day 🌱 🫶🏻
