Yoga for Schools with Sati Witts

I offer workshops on Yoga and/or Buddhism.

My workshop events may help your school in delivering the R.E. and P.H.S.E. aspects of the curriculum. It may also be of benefit in relation to the Every Child Matters policies and Healthy Living and Eating weeks.

In particular it gives students:-

• wider appreciation and understanding of diverse and rich cultural resources
• improved health, fitness and well being through increased stamina, strength, balance, flexibility
• improved concentration and confidence
• practical, transferable skills that encourage thoughtfulness and reflection
• a positive effect that does not depend on ability

The knowledge and experience gained can help to support many learning skills within the school.

I currently work as a part-time school teacher in Pershore, Worcestershire. I have many years experience as a classroom teacher and I have also taught yoga to children regularly in an out of school club for three years.

I also have seven years formal meditation practice as a Theravadin Buddhist nun in the Thai forest tradition, and I have been practicing Yoga for many years.

I am currently an associate teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga accredited, Inner Yoga Trust school.

"the children all enjoyed the workshop"

"it was a very calming activity"

"they loved learning the names of the positions and trying them out"

"for many it was a completely new experience which was a positive thing"

"one child stated it made him feel very emotional and he enjoyed feeling that way"

"many comments were receieved from parents stating how enthusiastic the children were about the work shop and that the children had gone home and tried to teach the postures and share them with parents."

"Overall we were very impressed with how the day was pitched appropriately for all ages and feel it was very good value for money."

"It certainly launched our green week brilliantly and had the children feeling enthusisatic and engaged."
