CK YOGA

OUR STORY

Founded by Christina, we are a small team of dedicated adult, teen and children's yoga teachers delivering classes in London and Sussex to adults, and in nurseries and preschools, and primary and secondary schools.  We love nothing more than to bring the benefits of the practise of yoga to our local communities.

At the heart of what we do, is a passion to nurture mental health and wellbeing for everyone we teach.  Our adult classes focus on the flow of movement and breath to create a mind-body connection (see adult section below).  In preschools and schools, we offer weekly classes and a complete wellbeing programme offering classes that connect young people and the staff that work with them, with themselves, with their minds and bodies and with each other. (see education section below). 

​

At CK Yoga, we have a wealth of collective experience in teaching adults and children alongside experience in working in the field of child counselling and child psychotherapy and with children with additional needs. 

We have developed our own unique lesson plans and resources for use in education to support staff and young people, including a complete wellbeing programme for schools.

CK Yoga teachers are all qualified yoga alliance accredited adult, teen and advanced children's yoga teachers.  We also hold full liability insurance, updated enhanced CRB checks, up to date paediatric first aid and safeguarding training.

BOOK A CLASS

Payment for classes will be taken in advance of the class.  Livestream bookings MUST be made at least two hours before start of the class. 

WELLBEING IN EDUCATION

CK Yoga offer yoga classes in all education settings from early years to late teens.  

Within schools, we offer a complete wellbeing programme that is specifically designed to look at themes relevant to young people today and to be developmental - supporting the physical and emotional wellbeing of pupils and staff.  The programme is sustainable offering staff training so that the benefits of the yoga practise can be far reaching. 

​

Preschool yoga (Nurseries and Preschools) 

We provide yoga sessions in EYFS settings and these classes are playful offering accessible and fun yoga with the helping hand of our friend Meddy Teddy.  Our early years classes are carefully planned to be developmental as well as fun, following relevant preschool topics such as everyday living, fantasy and adventure, science and nature, weather and seasons. Children will be developing physical strength and flexibility as well as fine and gross motor skills, body awareness, communication skills, self confidence and tools to alleviate anxiety.  These classes engage young children with music, movement and sensory activities incorporating poses and fun games and providing a variety of stimulating and calming movement alongside relaxation and mindfulness.  

​

Children's yoga (Primary schools) 

We provide yoga classes within primary schools and offer a set school programme that is progressive and developmental and tailored to children at this stage.  The programme can run for anything from one term to a year/three terms. We can also offer one-off wellbeing workshops and SEN/nurture sessions. Our primary school classes incorporate breathing and calming mindful exercises with yoga postures and sequences, yoga games and the all important relaxation - we give children space to move, breathe and relax.  

​

Teen Yoga (Secondary schools) 

We provide yoga classes within secondary education settings and offer a well developed and researched programme covering topics, themes and physical and breathing/mindful activities specific to this age group. The programme can run for one term up to a year (three terms)  and is progressive and extremely relevant to young people today.  We can also offer one-off workshops and classes tailored to specific needs. Our teen classes create space for young people to just be, giving them time out from daily stresses and a space to tune in and move with sequencing, postures, partner postures, breathing and relaxation techniques.  We aim to empower teens to be the drivers of their own wellbeing.

​

Yoga for staff in education

We offer yoga and mindfulness to staff who work in education, providing space to unwind, relax and really focus on personal wellbeing. We also deliver workshops for staff on how to deliver yoga breaks in the classroom. 

​

Our small team of expert teachers are all adult, teen and children's yoga (yoga alliance certified) teachers with extensive experience.  CK yoga teachers all hold enhanced updated CRB checks, full liability insurance and relevant first aid and safeguarding training.
