Yoga and Mindfulness Incursions
For childcare centres and kindergartens in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Why you'll love having a yoga incursion at your centre!
Fun and Engaging
The incursions are highly interactive. Colourful props and visuals are used to captivate the children and will have them eager to participate in the fun.
Confident and Calm Children
Through songs, yoga, colourful props and stories the children learn tools to help them be mindful, calm and confident.
From the moment the children sit down on their mat they will be fully immersed in the yoga adventure.
Teaches Lifelong Skills
The children will learn about the importance of caring for themselves as well as the world around them.
Introducing children to fun breathing exercises to calm their bodies when experiencing big emotions.
"Our show for the kindy group was amazing. Everyone was so engaged even the teachers.
Thank you for providing our little ones with mindfulness techniques."
Jo Denning - Centre Director
"Chantelle is a kind and creative teacher. She cleverly designed this show in a way that the children can relate to and benefit from.
I highly recommend it and we can't wait to try it again!"
Celia Hernandez - Kindergarten Teacher
How the Yoga Incursions Work
In each of the sessions the children jump on board the adventure bus and are taken on a new magical yoga journey to explore topics about their health, animals and the world around them.
The yoga incursions:
- are aimed at 3-5 year olds.
- are aligned with the National Learning Framework and linked to the ELYF.
- each run for 30-40 minutes and we can have up to 25 children per session.
Note: For numbers above 25 children we can run additional sessions.
