A Calm and Stretchy Start – Primary 1’s First Yoga Session

1st May 2025

Our Primary 1 pupils had a fantastic experience during their very first yoga session with Paula this morning—and it was a huge hit! The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring simple yoga poses, learning calming breathing techniques, and discovering how movement and mindfulness can help them feel focused and relaxed.

The session was a perfect introduction to the world of yoga, tailored specifically for young learners. Paula created a fun and welcoming environment, guiding the children through imaginative movements and exercises that supported both their physical development and emotional wellbeing.

It was wonderful to see the pupils so engaged, smiling and stretching with great enthusiasm. Yoga not only helps with balance, coordination, and flexibility, but also encourages children to slow down, listen to their bodies, and take a moment to breathe—skills that are valuable both inside and outside the classroom.

We’re already looking forward to our next session as the children continue this exciting journey of movement, mindfulness, and self-awareness.

Namaste, Primary 1!
