June's Yoga

June's Yoga, a comprehensive method of using yoga in the classroom, is the end result of June Rowlands' unique combination of, a career in teaching, musical talent and a love of yoga.

Alongside her work in schools, June also holds classes on Mondays from 5.00pm to 5.45pm at Breathing Space Spa, Thomson Close, Harpenden. Suitable for children aged 6 to 10 years old.

Children as young as two and a half respond positively to yoga. Possible benefits include:

* Encouraging calmer, more focused children.
* Developing individual self-control, self respect and respect for others.
* Building children's concentration, creativity and confidence.

June's Yoga half-day workshops will enable a sensitive teacher, with no previous yoga experience, to lead nursery or primary school children in a yoga session the very next day. Teachers actively learn as June leads them through age-appropriate postures, sharing her insights into possible reactions to certain poses or movements.

Using traditional yoga sequences, warm up exercises, breathing techniques, Asanas (postures), partner Asanas and relaxation and calming exercises, June's Yoga takes the process one step further with the help of child friendly props like puppets and songs.

Baby module and keystage II now available.
