Yoga is very useful in anxiety symptoms to help slow down the breast, relieve anxiety and having to reduce muscle tension. Yoga Mindfulness behaviour can be a perfect idea to enhance self-consciousness and better chances of quarrelling with out-of-hand daily issues. Yoga is more than just exercise and stretching- it creates confidence and self-esteem as well as positive interactions. With the use of feel good imaginations, we can train children to develop coping skills that utilize imagination and breathing exercises. By training the children to pay attention to how they are feeling, they can employ all these methods to enable them deal with the day-to-day stresses that are presented to them daily.
At Mitch Titch we bring yoga and mindfulness together to enhance both physical and mental wellbeing. Our sessions are geared towards younger children having fun whilst exploring their physical and mental health and the older children working on understanding their own physical and mental health.
Our classes go beyond yoga stitches. We pay particular attention to language, listening & communication; learning through play; physical, social and emotional development as well as the many benefits of yoga such as improving muscle tone, co-ordination, confidence, self-esteem, balance, flexibility, creativity, breathing, relaxation and mindfulness techniques.
Our sessions run for baby, toddler and pre-school but we also run sessions in nurseries and primary schools. Looking after the whole family unit is important to use in helping to build that sound structure in a little one’s life. Whether it be a shoulder to cry on or suggestions for engaging little ones in sessions, being calm, relaxed and knowledgeable in your field is a great comfort to struggling parents.
Giving teachers the tools to use in the classroom helps the children maintain their practice until their next session!
Our baby yoga classes begin with a gentle, clothed massage for baby which is especially good for babies that have had a traumatic birth or mothers that have undergone a C-section or have postnatal depression. With positive touch babies develop both physically and emotionally and provide quality bonding time.
Mobile Babies from crawling to around 2 to 2.5 yrs approximately are taught at a faster pace to keep your child stimulated. This class is as much about the parents and careers having fun as it is for the child and with songs & rhymes our toddler yoga classes are very educational.
Our classes also focus on sharing, turn taking and patience with a big focus on speech, language and development but delivered in such a fun way that it makes learning easy. Everyone benefits from our breathing and relaxation techniques for enhanced quiet time with lots of snuggles and cuddles.
All our classes help parents and careers to form friendships and relationships with other people going through the similar experiences to them. Building bonds for our children and ourselves is a great way to have support when we need it most.
Supporting Older Children With Yoga
We are passionate about incorporating yoga into the school curriculum to help provide students with a wealth of physical, emotional and mental health benefits and host sessions in several schools, nurseries and youth groups.
Students can enjoy being fit and active by introducing yoga classes in the school curriculum. Yoga can be particularly low-impact exercise; it is a good way to introduce the children to the correct body posture and care of the body. Yoga can also be an amazing process of training our brains to concentrate and ignore distractions to help manage emotions, in addition to assisting in improving classroom behaviour and aiding in focus on academics.
All our classes follow the Early Years Foundation Stages and SEN Guidelines as set out by the government in order to aid development and learning and promote a physically active lifestyle for your growing child. KS1 & KS2 Curriculum are featured within our lesson plans and we aim to work closely with our schools in creating the perfect sessions for the children
Adding Yoga Into Your Mental Health Toolkit
We want to equip families, nurseries and schools to help children with their own toolset to cope with their emotions.
I took my passion for yoga and created an exciting bestselling children’s book- ‘Mitchy Titch- All Around the World’, featuring beautiful illustrations by Helen Robinson MA as a way to share the fun and benefits of yoga at home.
The story takes you on an adventure as Mitch and his friends head off on a trip ‘All Around the World’ having lots of fun practicing yoga poses to help build confidence and inner strength.
We also designed Mitchy Titch Yoga Cards – 52 Fun Yoga Activity Cards where you can come along with Mitchy Titch and learn his fun poses, with benefits, cautions, hints & tips and breathing & relaxation suggestions! All in a handy little drawstring bag to take with you wherever you go!
